Tang Tong

Tang Tong is a concept from traditional Chinese medicine referring to a distinct type of bodily imbalance characterized by a combination of symptoms such as fatigue, a feeling of oppression in the chest, and a tendency toward irritability or emotional sensitivity. The term describes a state where internal energy, or "qi," becomes congested or blocked, often related to imbalances involving the spleen, liver, or stomach. Treatment typically involves herbal remedies, acupuncture, and lifestyle adjustments aimed at restoring smooth flow of qi and balance among the body's organs to alleviate symptoms.
