Emotions, Organs and Disease

People often speak of the mind-body connection, but what about the heart-body connection. Our thoughts and attitudes are important to the health of our body, but so is our emotional state.

Traditional systems of medicine in both the Orient and the West have linked various emotions with the functions of various organs. We also do this in popular expressions such as:

• This galls me (i.e. makes me angry) or she is filled with the gall of bitterness.
• He was so scared he wet his pants.
• Don’t worry or you’ll give yourself an ulcer.

These are just a few of the many examples we could cite showing that our emotional state and our physical health are linked in many ways. The bottom line is that we need to pay attention to our emotions and not just our physical body if we want to be healthy. 

For instance, according to traditional wisdom, excessive anger adversely affects our liver (and gallbladder) while excessive grief has a damaging effect on the lungs. Fear is traditionally associated with problems with the urinary system and worry is associated with digestive problems.  These connections can be found in traditional Western medicine as well as traditional Chinese medicine. 

It’s not just a one-way connection, either. Emotions can also be major clues to the organ systems in the body that aren’t working correctly. 

We’ll explore these traditional connections between the heart and the body in this month’s Sunshine Sharing Hour. We’ll talk about how to deal with your emotions in a healthy way to improve your overall health and how to use your emotional state as a clue to what herbs and supplements can help your body heal or stay healthy. We’ll also talk about how to use emotions to aid healing.
