Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets vulvar itching through the lens of internal disharmony within the body's systems. According to TCM, such symptoms arise when there's an imbalance in Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang, or an accumulation of pathogenic factors like Dampness and Heat.

TCM emphasizes the importance of identifying the specific pattern of disharmony causing the itching, as treatments are tailored to correct these imbalances, aiming to provide relief by restoring the body's natural equilibrium.
