How Emotions Affect Organs: A Deep Dive to Emotional Health
Our emotional health equates to our physical health. That is a founding principle of Chinese medicine. In Chinese medicine, our emotions (feelings and thoughts) and health act as an interdependent cycle. Each of our organ systems correlate to a particular emotion. - Liver : Anger
Use Liver Recharge and cleanse with Candida Relief+ following the moon schedule - Heart : Joy (overstimulation)
Use Spirit Lift tincture, Hawthorn, Liver Recharge - Spleen : Worry
Use Spleen Rescue+ and or Vitality - Lung : Grief
Use Lung Defense tincture - Kidney : Fear
Use Kidney Recharge tincture and adaptogens like Schisandra or Rhodiola
The weaker a particular organ system is, the more susceptible one is to experiencing associated emotions, and the more one experiences excess of a certain emotion, the weaker the system becomes. For example, anger— which also encompasses the emotions of stress, bitterness, frustration and resentment, affects the functioning of the Liver system. Constant stress or excessive emotions take their toll. Symptoms of a weakened Liver are being easily angered, agitated and stressed, physical symptoms manifest as high blood pressure, migraines, digestive disorders, weight gain, changes in vision, and menstrual difficulties. Another example, digestive problems— do you constantly worry? Do you feel anxious a lot of the time and like overthinking troubles you? The Spleen and Stomach are the organs that play the largest role here, that’s why worrying can make you sick to your Stomach!
