In Traditional Chinese Medicine, disease is understood as the relationship between 'conditions' - the outcome of disease - and 'patterns' - the underlying imbalances in the body giving rise to disease. Different patterns may give rise to the same condition, and seemingly unrelated conditions may have the same pattern. Identifying patterns of disharmony in the body is critical to TCM diagnosis and treatment.
