According to traditional Chinese medicine, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are diagnosed as disorders characterized by the disharmony between the Spleen/Stomach and the Liver. Liver qi stagnation overacts on the Spleen and Stomach to impair the normal transformation and transportation of food. Over a long period of time, this dampness combines with heat to lodge in the Large Intestine to cause diarrhea with inflammation. Because of prolonged diarrhea and loss of fluids, yin also becomes deficient.
