Gastrointestinal Upset: Causes, Symptoms & TCM Relief Strategies
Gastrointestinal Upset: Causes, Symptoms, and Natural Relief
Experiencing gastrointestinal upset can disrupt daily life and signal underlying imbalances. Symptoms include nausea, cramping, diarrhea, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. Triggers may include food intolerance, infections, stress, or chronic conditions like IBS.
Conventional treatments include antacids, anti-diarrheals, or laxatives. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine views gastrointestinal upset as a result of internal disharmony—such as damp-heat, liver qi stagnation, or cold invading the stomach. Addressing the root cause is key to lasting relief.
TCM solutions include acupuncture, dietary therapy, and herbal formulas like Huo Xiang Zheng Qi San or Xiao Yao San. These treatments regulate qi, transform dampness, and calm the digestive tract.
