Stress, Anxiety, Sleep disorder

 

TCM and acupuncture believe that mental activity is not only associated closely with the brain but also with our internal organs: dwelling on bad experiences can hurt the function of the spleen, worrying too much can hurt lung function, fear will hurt the kidney function, over-excitement can hurt heart function, and etc. In TCM, the organ’s meaning is conceptual rather than the solid organ itself. For example, in TCM, the heart has functions past just pumping the blood. It also controls mental well-being, some mental activities, etc. For stress, anxiety, and depressed moods, the target organs are the liver, spleen, partial heart, partial lungs, and partial kidneys. To deal with these problems, we need to simply regulate the above-mentioned organs’ functions and the patient's symptoms will eventually improve.

Improved overall health and wellbeing – When addressing emotions and thought states, all of the contributing factors need to be taken into account.
