Vomiting frothy saliva is a condition characterized by the expulsion of bubbly, foamy saliva or mucus from the stomach through the mouth. This symptom can be indicative of various underlying issues ranging from digestive disturbances to more complex health conditions. Understanding its cause is crucial for effective management and treatment.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches vomiting frothy saliva through the lens of imbalance and disharmony within the body's systems. TCM posits that such symptoms arise when the body's natural flow of Qi (energy) and balance of its fundamental elements are disrupted, often categorizing this condition under patterns associated with Phlegm or Qi Stagnation. Identifying the precise pattern is essential in TCM, as it guides the treatment strategy aiming to restore balance and harmony.
