Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) is a common and prevalent disease, and the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are not fully understood in modern medicine. Treatment is mostly symptomatic, with unsatisfactory efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience in clinical practice over a long period of time, especially the Theory of Five Phases and Six Qi Movements, which provides a new perspective for exploring the pathogenesis and treatment of IBS-D. This paper systematically expounds the theory of Five Phases and Six Qi Movements and combines the clinical features and main symptoms of IBS-D to explore its pathogenesis and methods of differentiation and treatment.
