The Emotional Aspect of Health and Acupuncture
Posted on November 7, 2018 at 6:59 PM |
We’ve talked around this topic for quite some time but today
let’s get down to it. In Chinese
Medicine it was a truth that your body health is a reflection of your
thinking. Modern science tells us: ·
Our thought patterns influence our health ·
Pain affects our psychology ·
Our emotional health is part of our health as a
whole So why don’t we just relax and enjoy good health in the
lovely surrounds of the Glasshouse Mountains, Landsborough Mooloolah and
Beerwah? Is thinking happy thoughts a
cure for disease? Well. It’s a funny
thing but science seems to keep finding evidence that it certainly helps. Chinese Medicine had a very clear association with the
emotions and their connection with organs in the body: ·
The Lung and Large Intestine organ pair was affected
by Sadness and grief ·
The Stomach and Spleen organ pair was affected
by worry ·
The Heart and Small Intestine organ pair was affected
by excess joy ·
The Liver and Gallbladder organ pair was affected
by anger ·
The Kidneys and Bladder organ pair was affected
by fear As
with so many of the relationships in Chinese Medicine and acupuncture this
relationship was understood to work in both directions. For example exposure to fear could produce an
imbalance in the Kidneys and produce lower back pain as a pattern. At the same time an imbalance in the Kidneys
can manifest as fearful emotions. So
how do we apply this in knowledge in daily life: 1.
Check in.
Is it possible that your emotions are not in balance? 2.
Understand that physical conditions may not have
purely physical causes. 3.
Understand that emotional conditions may not
have purely emotional causes. Acupuncture was traditionally used to balance the energy of
organ systems. In modern times as we
experience greater pressures perhaps this traditional system of healing is
exactly what we need. |
Things to do to support yourself in Autumn (and pep up your Lungs and Large Intestine)
Posted on March 6, 2016 at 7:10 PM |
In Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners long ago observed the relationship between the seasons and the conditions they would see in clients. This observation evolved into a system of advice for the seasons to support the specific needs associated with that season. Autumn in Traditional Chinese Medicine is related to the energy of the Lungs and Large Intestine. How do you know if there is something going on with your Lungs and Large Intestine energy?
When the Lung and Large Intestines are impaired, ailments may include bronchitis, shortness of breath, cough, allergies, nasal congestion, emphysema, colds, sore throat, constipation, diarrhoea, spastic colon, and abdominal pain. These physical imbalances can then compound our emotions leading to depression, stubbornness (inability to “let go”), isolation, and negativity.

Other Suggestions for being in Harmony with Autumn
Take things one step at a time and remember to congratulate yourself when you finish things on your to do list. Autumn is a great time to treat the Lung and Large Intestine energy as it is at it's peak at this time so come on in for some acupuncture if you'd like a Lung and Large Intestine pick me up. |
