The emotions are considered the major internal causes of disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  Emotional activity is seen as a normal, internal, physiological response to stimuli from the external environment. Within normal limits, emotions cause no disease or weakness in the body. However, when emotions become uncontrollable and overwhelm or possess a person, then they can cause serious injury to the internal organs and open the door to disease.

Excess emotional activity causes severe Yin-Yang energy imbalances, wild aberrations in the flow of blood qi (vital energy) blockages in the meridians and impairment of vital organ functions, which can result in emotional imbalance such stress, depression, anxiety as well as insomnia and fatigue.

TCM views different organs as interlinked with different emotions. For example, the TCM classic ‘Nei Jing’ notes that ‘Liver Qi deficiency leads to fear’ and Heart Qi deficiency leads to sadness. The concurrent liver-heart deficiency described here is consistent with the clinical observations of depression. Therefore, the treatment of depression should primarily focus on boosting the Yang and Qi of the Liver and the Heart, coupled with tonification of the Spleen and Kidney organs.

Acupuncture helps anxiety, stress, and depression by balancing the organs and calming down the mind and heart as well as harmonizing other vital organs.
