In ancient Chinese medical theory, every organ is tied to 1 of the 5 elements. Each element is associated with a particular emotion. Knowing the organ + element that is part of your core constitution indicates what ways your emotions will most frequently find themselves out of balance. Your Acupuncturist can guide you to your constitution through the comprehensive round of questions they ask during your initial intake.
Another thing about Chinese Medicine…this wise ancient system believes that you do have to feel every emotion to genuinely release it from the body, progress to a more balanced state, and prevent the turbulent energies of these emotions from wreaking havoc in the physical body.
Repressed or substance-numbed emotions do not pave the path to genuine healing.
All 5 types of emotional patterns (see element section above) are meant to be felt at appropriately timed cycles of your life. Feeling the depths of heavy emotions is not a pathology, it is part of the release process.
You can utilize the treatments of Acupuncture + Herbal Medicine (plus the self-awareness that your practitioner’s teachings impart) to move through heavier emotions more quickly and spend more balanced time in the state of joy.
If laughter is the best medicine, we would love to serve you a warm + overflowing cup.
