Hepatitis C Symptoms through the eyes of Oriental Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine views Hepatitis C symptoms with a different perspective than Western Medicine. It is a perspective that has developed since before the terms "hepatitis or virus" existed, and is rooted in the patterns and relationships that take place within the body as a whole.

As we move through this explanation there are some basics to remember. First, Oriental Medicine began its investigation of the human body not by studying a corpse, but by gathering the symptoms that individuals described and by observing signs that the patient may not have even noticed themselves. Over thousands of years, these groupings of qualities and characteristics began to paint landscapes that were very predictable. The relationship between the symptoms became clear, and certain techniques for clearing up the given imbalances were discovered.

So, to look at Hepatitis C Symptoms through the eyes of Oriental Medicine, there are several distinct categories that exist. The following is a partial list of some of the most common patterns in the Chinese Medical modality that can set the stage for Hepatitis:

Exterior Invasion (Initial Stage-called Shao Yang in TCM)
Liver Qi Stagnation
Damp Heat
Qi Deficiency
Digestive Disorders (Earth Imbalance)
Yin Deficiency
Blood Deficiency

Each of these lists of symptoms can overlap with each other, and hardly anyone ever displays all of the symptoms from one list alone. Typically most individuals will move through the exterior invasion process and then will display a combination of the groupings of symptoms listed below.

According to Traditional Oriental Medicine, in Treating Hepatitis C Symptoms, there are many avenues to take depending on the symptoms being presented. We always recommend individuals diagnosed with Hepatitis C to seek professional medical attention. The best course of treatment, in our opinion, is to combine the wisdom of traditional medicine with the newest technology of modern day medicine.
