@algancao – On Flatulence
Added “borborygmi” to my spellcheck. tummy rumblings. Great word if you need a smart new way to describe impending flatulence. Just an FYI. Fri Jul 03 16:37:32
How’s your gasses? Chinese medicine differentiates digestive concerns based on the quantity and odor of said emissions.
Silent but deadly? Damp-heat. Strong odor, small quantity Burns anus. Bacterial infection? Could be dietary too, though.
Flatulence with large quantity, little odor: think “qi stagnation” or neurological/stress-induced.
Flatulence that mostly smells like your usual bathroom odors, that’s Spleen qi or digestive energy deficiency. Or normal.
Flatulence that smells like raw beef? That’s “cold damp” in Chinese medicine. A digestive weakness. Too much information?
