However, the result is often the opposite—the dizziness worsens, and the buzzing in your ears becomes even more pronounced. Why is this?

Title: Understanding the Concept of "Obstruction" in TCM
In TCM, the concept of "obstruction" refers to the blockage of Qi (vital energy) and blood flow in the body, which can lead to various symptoms, including tinnitus and dizziness. When the body's channels and meridians are obstructed, the flow of Qi and blood is impeded, resulting in a lack of nourishment to the organs and tissues, which can manifest as the symptoms described above.
Title: The Importance of Correct Diagnosis and Treatment
It is crucial to correctly diagnose the root cause of the obstruction in order to provide effective treatment. In TCM, this involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient's symptoms, pulse, and tongue, which helps to determine the specific pattern of disharmony. Treatment may include herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes, all aimed at clearing the obstruction and restoring the normal flow of Qi and blood.
