Chinese Medicine Links Sorrow To Lungs And Rage To The Liver

According to Chinese medicine, every organ represents a certain emotion and emotions are the main reason for disease occurrences. The Chinese believe five basic elements – earth, water, fire, air and metal – are present within the body. For good health to be sustained it is necessary to maintain balance between all organs and elements.

Chinese medical observations re physical symptoms

Raspy voice

In case you notice you have raspy voice, it is a sign of low energy levels in the lungs

Red eyes

Red eyes indicate a problem linked to the liver.

Yellowness on face

Yellowness on the face indicates a lack of blood and energy in the spleen.

Imbalanced emotions are linked to disease

The Chinese believe imbalanced emotions are the main cause of disease and each organ has its own emotion:

Lungs – sorrow

Liver – rage

Kidneys – fear

Stomach – caring

Also, every organ has its own taste.  Lungs, for example, “want” spices and hot flavor. The liver – sour, spleen – sweet and kidneys salt. In addition Chinese doctors claim organs have individual energetic routes within the body.

Energy is called “chi” and chi depends on the blood. Chinese doctors say blood is energy’s mother and energy flow is linked to the blood.

Kidneys – a central organ within the body

In Chinese medicine the kidneys are a critically important energy center and represent the basis of yin and yang. They are connected with the skeletal system, hearing and fears. Treating kidney imbalances often has a positive impact on the entire body.

The Chinese also link the organs to seasonal weather patterns, with different seasons having favorable or unfavorable impacts on certain organs. For example, they claim that wind direction and flow affects the liver and can sometimes be a cause for headaches and dizziness.

The liver plays a key role in maintaining good health

One of liver’s most important functions is enabling energy (chi) circulation throughout the body and support for clear headedness. People with healthy livers are calm, can easily make decisions and are good leaders. In case the liver is stagnated or otherwise obstructed it is considered to have caught “fire”.  Fire is the Chinese term used to explain improper liver function.

An impaired liver is directly associated with physical deterioration and imbalanced emotions. Disharmony linked to anger, rage, stubbornness and violence adversely affects the liver. This is exacerbated when negative emotions are suppressed and held within the body. When emotions are suppressed depression and mood swings often result, which, in turn, create disharmony and prevent the liver from functioning properly. The most common signs of an imbalanced, damaged liver are fatigue, menstrual problems, stiffness of the body, tension and susceptibility to allergies.
