TCM has acknowledged the role of emotions in health and well-being for over 2000 years.

Increasingly, scientific studies are backing up the ideas that negative emotions can cause serious health issues.

Toxic emotions and health

Page 21: Wind, Cold, Summer- Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire Overjoy, Fury, Pensiveness, Grief, Fear and Tense Improper Diet, Over- Exertion, Too much Rest

Unresolved anger causes flaring up of the liver fire and can lead to hypertension and stroke

Anger makes the energy - or qi - rise. In the context of TCM, anger includes other emotional traits such as resentment, frustration, irritability and explosive rage.

Physically, it can manifest itself in violence and fighting, in rows, and in the breakdown of relationships.

As with all things, there is a positive side to anger, when expressed healthily and to a resolution. If left to fester without expression, it causes problems of physical ill-health, but can also transform emotionally into depression.

So it is long-term and unresolved feelings of anger and resentment that are poisonous to well-being causing ill-health.

Anger and rage

Page 22: Wind, Cold, Summer- Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire Overjoy, Fury, Pensiveness, Grief, Fear and Tense Improper Diet, Over- Exertion, Too much Rest

The cause of Lung disharmonies. Sudden or shocking grief can increase the risk of

heart attack. Grief consumes and weakens the Lung qi. In

Chinese medicine, this emotion includes sorrow, regret, sadness, and senses of loss or remorse. Like anger, grief can have a very strong effect on health.

The symptoms are usually concerned with the respiratory system, such as bronchitis or asthmatic problems, especially after a bereavement. And chesty coughs are common in people seeking alternative therapies for being unhappy.

Grief and excessive sadness

Page 23: Wind, Cold, Summer- Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire Overjoy, Fury, Pensiveness, Grief, Fear and Tense Improper Diet, Over- Exertion, Too much Rest

Causes of disharmonies of the kidneys and heart Fear & fright cause bedwetting in infants, and panic

attacks Fear causes the qi to descend, and Shock causes it

to scatter. The reversal of the normal upward flow of Kidney qi

can lead to loss of control of urination and other problems, such as lower back pain, listlessness and a desire for solitude.

Fear can also be the emotion responsible in children who suffer from bedwetting - and also the related symptoms of shyness and timidity.

Fright and shock can affect the heart causing Heart qi to scatter .

Fear and Shock

Page 24: Wind, Cold, Summer- Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire Overjoy, Fury, Pensiveness, Grief, Fear and Tense Improper Diet, Over- Exertion, Too much Rest

Cause of Spleen and Stomach disharmonies

Worry and over-thinking cause qi to stagnate. This emotion also includes too much studying, obsessive thinking or continually working something over in your mind.

Worry is a particularly insidious emotion as it can eat away at some people, even though there is nothing to be worried about.

More often than not, the worries are unfounded, but the afflicted person is ruled by the emotion.

Worry and Over-thinking

Page 25: Wind, Cold, Summer- Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire Overjoy, Fury, Pensiveness, Grief, Fear and Tense Improper Diet, Over- Exertion, Too much Rest

Cause of Heart disharmonies To have enough is happiness. To have more

than enough is harmful Joy causes the qi to slow down and relax.

Over-exuberance can scatter the Heart qi, damaging the heart.

It may be surprising that joy can be a cause for concern emotionally, and therefore a burden on health.

What is really meant here is over-stimulation or rowdy over-exuberance.

It might also be the state of elation of somebody winning the lottery!

Such excessive elation can lead to problems later on, usually the opposite feelings to joy.

Hemorrhage Causing Qi To Collapse Syndrome气随血脱证

• When massive bleeding occurs, profuse sweating, pale complexion, cold limbs, faint breath, even syncope, pale and white tongue and faint pulse occure.

When sputum retains in the lung, cough and panting, vomiting or spitting sputum occur; chest distress due to qi gets obstructed by phlegm; adverse qi flow caused wheezing; sputum gets stuck in the stomach, dysfunction of receiving food, painful gastric fullness and anorexia appear; rising of sputum along with adverse rising of stomach qi caused nausea and spiting sputum; dizziness results from retention of phlegm in the middle-energizer; when phlegm accumulates under the skin or in the muscles, local qi and blood flow is impeded, leading to scrofula and goiter; when phlegm is in the limbs, hyperplasia of mammary glands and a sensation of foreign object in the throat will occur. Greasy tongue coating with slippery pulse points to internal obstruction by phlegm.

Water Retention SyndromeClinical Manifestations

Syndrome Analysis Focal Points

Edema in the face, limbs or even all over the body, heaviness of the body, or puffiness of the abdomen, unsmooth flow of urine, enlarged tongue with white slippery coating, deep and wiry pulse.

Accumulated water flows over the muscles leads to local or general edema and heaviness of the body. When it accumulates in the abdominal cavity, puffiness and fullness in the abdomen occur. Dysfunction of the urinary bladder results in unsmooth flow of urine. Enlarged tongue with white coating, deep and rapid pulse indicate interior retention of water.

Edema, unsmooth flow of urine, enlarged tongue and white and slippery tongue coating.

Phlegm Syndrome

When sputum retains in the lung, cough and panting, and vomiting

or spitting sputum occur.

When qi gets obstructed by

phlegm,, chest distress

may occur.

Wheezing is due to blockage of the qi tract by sputum

When sputum gets stuck in the stomach,

disharmony of stomach qi and dysfunction of receiving food,

Nausea and spitting sputum are due to rising of sputum along

with adverse rising of

stomach qi.

Dizziness results from retention of phlegm in

the stomach, which affects

yang rise.

Indifference and delirium are due to

phlegm retention,

When phlegm accumulates

under the skin or in the muscles,

local qi and blood flow is impeded

leading to scrofula and

goiter.

when phlegm is in the limbs,

hyperplasia of mammary glands and a sensation of foreign body

in the throat will occur

Greasy tongue coating with

slippery pulse points to internal

obstruction by phlegm
