In the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our goal is to achieve harmony among bodily structure, vital energy and the spiritual essence or mind, collectively known as Xing Qi Shen. Our bodies are finely tuned to navigate life’s challenges, operating optimally when these energies are balanced. However, imbalances in these opposing forces may signal potential illness.
Emotional health in TCM is closely tied to specific organs, which correspond to various emotional responses known as “the seven emotions”. These emotions – joy, anger, worry, pensiveness, sadness, fear and surprise – are intricately linked with the five viscera, creating a complex interplay between our emotional experiences and internal organ functions. Dr Ong Siew Siew shares more on this.
