A few days ago, a friend who has just started to study Chinese medicine on his own asked me that Chinese medicine says that the five emotions correspond to the five organs.
This question is very interesting, so I decided to write it out and share it with you, first of all, let's talk about the most common liver depression, in fact, liver depression is not caused by anger, but caused by sulking, because the liver is mainly rising, so if you are angry, angry, the liver qi can go up and out, but it is good for the liver, so we often say that anger hurts the liver, in fact, generally speaking, proper anger is beneficial to the liver.
But when you sulk, it's like covering the liver, and your qi is not allowed to rise, isn't it depressed when the qi is covered, and the sulking is completely opposite to the personality of the liver, and the damage to the liver is particularly great, so it is also obvious, which is a characteristic of liver qi stagnation.
And several other emotions, such as thinking about hurting the spleen, thinking refers to missing, thinking, thinking does not exist in this era, no matter how far away, as long as you want to see a person, you must be able to see it, you really can't see it, either the personal freedom is restricted by special circumstances, or you don't want to see it at all. Thinking easily hurts the spleen, which means that the heart is buried in the things you are studying, and this situation, no matter when, only a very small number of people will appear, so we will find that there are more spleen problems caused by dietary problems.
Fear of hurting the kidneys and joy and sadness, the most famous is the story of Fan Jinzhongju, the story is roughly that there was a scholar in ancient times, and he did not take the exam many times, which is equivalent to our modern people taking the public examination from fifteen or sixteen years old to forty or fifty years old and have not been examined, and then after an exam, suddenly found that he was admitted, happy crazy, this is literal, he was crazy, and then ran around on the street, no one knew, later, some people said that he was afraid of his father-in-law, so that his father-in-law slapped him, and he was scared normally. This not only shows the impact of emotions on people, but also shows an example of using emotions to heal diseases through the shengke of the five elements.
Finally, there is the sad lungs, we always say that people who like to sigh are not very lucky, why, because sighing is a manifestation of worry, often worried, the lungs will not be very good, and then talking to people is also weak, others will think that you look down on him, even if you want to help you something, will dispel the idea, this situation is actually quite common, but because everyone does not know much about the sad lungs, so I did not associate it.
If we show too much emotion, we can understand why the old folk saying says that people with a peaceful mind live for a long time, and a peaceful mind means that the five organs are healthy, the mind is also healthy, and the body is also healthy.
