I love Chinese Medicine!

It has a way of assessing the body and identifying root cause that offers a way back to balance.

🌀 TCM Differential Diagnosis for Dizziness

Dizziness is never “just dizziness” in TCM — the quality and context of the symptom tell you exactly where the imbalance lies. Here’s a quick pattern breakdown for clinic and study review:

🔍 Common TCM Patterns:

🌾 SP Qi Deficiency

Dizziness upon waking

Fatigue

Light-headed when standing up too quickly
👉 Think: not enough Qi to lift clear Yang to the head

🩸 LV Blood Deficiency

Dizziness + poor focus

Numbness/tingling

Blurred vision

Pale face, pale tongue
👉 Think: Blood not nourishing the head and sensory orifices

🔥 LV Yang Rising

Dizziness with temporal headache

Irritability, stress, moodiness
👉 Think: Liver Yin not anchoring Yang

💧 KD Yin Deficiency

Dizziness with night sweats

Insomnia with tossing/turning

Dry mouth worse at night
👉 Think: Yin unable to nourish and cool upward

These patterns show how dizziness becomes a powerful diagnostic clue when we differentiate clearly.
