🌿 World Mental Health Day 💚
✨ “Today and every day, may we choose compassion — for ourselves and for one another.” ✨
Mental health is just as important as physical health. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), emotional well-being is closely linked to the balance of our internal organs. When energy (Qi) flows smoothly, our mind and spirit feel at ease. When it becomes stagnant or depleted, emotional distress can arise.
🫀 Heart (Shen) — governs our spirit and mental clarity. Imbalance may manifest as anxiety, insomnia, or restlessness.
💨 Liver (Hun) — ensures the smooth flow of Qi. When stagnant, it may cause irritability, frustration, mood swings, or depression.
🌿 Spleen (Yi) — linked to overthinking and worry. Weak Spleen Qi can contribute to rumination and feeling mentally “stuck.”
💧 Kidneys (Zhi) — connected to fear, willpower, and resilience. Deficiency can manifest as chronic anxiety, low motivation, or feeling overwhelmed.
🌬️ Lungs (Po) — tied to sadness, grief, and letting go. Imbalance can lead to melancholy or difficulty expressing emotions.
