Interpretation
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the appearance, consistency, and odor of a furry friend's stool can provide insights into their overall health and balance of Qi (vital energy), as well as the state of their internal organs. Here's how TCM interpret certain characteristics of furry friend's poop:
Characteristics: Light grey or pale clay-like appearance.
Potential Causes: Liver Qi Stagnation, Spleen Yang Deficiency, or bile duct obstruction.
TCM Interpretation:
- Liver Qi Stagnation: Reduced bile flow affects fat digestion.
- Spleen Qi Deficiency: Weak digestion leads to incomplete nutrient absorption.
- Bile Duct Obstruction: Damp-Heat or Qi Stagnation in the Liver/Gallbladder disrupts bile flow.
