In TCM every emotion is associated with a particular organ or area of the body and can affect the healthy function of that organ. Crying is seen as a behavior that strongly releases built up emotions and enables the flow of energy in the body to be restored. Unresolved grief, or tears that aren’t shed affect the Lungs and can lead to patterns such as depression, tiredness and lethargy, shortness of breath and anxiety, dry or poor skin, and even fluid retention. When you are sad or grieving and don’t cry this interferes with the function of the Lungs- to take in the new and release the old- on both a physical and emotional level. The lungs are known for that reason as the masters of change. The lungs are the upper source of water in the body and also regulate the skin and pores. The inability to cry and release grief or sadness can in time lead to dampness or phlegm: manifesting as coughs with phlegm, heaviness, and tiredness of the body, overthinking and worry. Dry skin, irritated skin or even fluid retention can also occur. Emotions should be felt and released, if you are grieving or facing excessive grief and don’t know how to manage or express it, reach out to a qualified counselor or therapist." Words from our TCM Dr. Peter Haxell on our blog, Cry me a river.」5月17日 1時02分
