Mental Health
According to Chinese Medicine, an imbalance of Qi in a particular energy pathway (“meridian”) or organ can lead to physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. A particularly stressful or traumatic event, or, when frustration, anger, sadness or stress are held inside over long periods of time, illness can arise.
Emotions and the state of the organs have a mutual relationship. Emotions can injure your internal organs, leading to symptoms of a disorder or illness, while the disharmony or imbalance in the internal organ system can induce emotional problems.
