GET OUT OF FEAR TO PRESERVE ENERGY

Fear is associated with the organ Kidney according to Chinese Medicine, and with the element Water. This emotion covers a wide range of states: from worry to terror to panic or fear.

Fear, when felt for a long time, or intensely (shock), can damage the energy of the Kidney. A weak Kidney often results in lower back and knee pain, but also in an overall lack of energy.

As the Kidney is linked to reproductive and urinary functions, a lack of Kidney energy can lead to problems related to these functions: fertility problems, lack of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems.

Taming one’s fear allows one to preserve solid kidneys, and therefore a good vital energy.

ANGER DAMAGES LIVER’S HEALTH

Anger is the emotion associated with the Liver according to Chinese medicine, and with the wood element. It is a rising, powerful and explosive energy.

Anger becomes pathological when it is expressed in an excessive, prolonged or repeated manner. In excess, anger causes a rise in energy called “liver fire” in TCM which can generate headaches, among other things.

Suppressed anger, or frustration, will also unbalance the energy of the Liver by creating a “stagnation of Liver qi”. This imbalance, which is very common, can lead to many disorders, from premenstrual syndromes to depression.

So learning to express anger while avoiding excesses can help to take care of the health of the liver.

SADNESS IMPACTS LUNG ENERGY

Sadness is the emotion linked to the Lungs and the metal element (autumn) according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Excessive or lasting sadness can thus unbalance the qi of the Lungs.

The Lung distributes inhaled qi with the air in the body, and contributes to the circulation of blood and Wei qi (or protective qi).
The Lung controls the skin, by opening and closing pores. It thus regulates the body’s temperature and protects it from external aggressions (wind, heat, cold, etc.).

A weak lung can result in various pathologies: shortness of breath, weak voice, asthma, rhinitis, or even dry or flabby skin, sparse or dull hair.
