Emotions and organs are deeply connected through the mind-body relationship. In Ayurveda, each organ stores and processes specific emotional energies. Here’s how these connections work:
Brain – Shock, Curiosity & Confusion
Shock and confusion overstimulate the nervous system, causing insomnia and fatigue. Adaptogenic herbs (like Brahmi) and calming routines soothe the mind.
Thyroid – Miscommunication & Guilt
Suppressed emotions and guilt cause fatigue and throat tension. Open communication, journaling, and iodine-rich foods support thyroid health.
Lungs – Grief, Sighing & Sorrow
Unprocessed grief weakens lung function, causing shallow breathing. Breathwork (Pranayama) and emotional release practices support lung health.
Heart – Worry, Abandonment, Lack of love & Rejection
Heartbreak causes palpitations and restlessness. Meditation and heart-supportive herbs (like hawthorn) promote emotional balance.
Liver & Gallbladder – Anger, Hatred, Frustration, Agony & Envy
Suppressed anger creates heat and tension, causing inflammation. Cooling herbs (like dandelion root) release emotional stagnation.
Spleen – Attachment, Greed, Hopelessness & Pride
Attachment and hopelessness deplete spleen energy, causing fatigue. Nourishing foods (like root vegetables) restore balance.
Stomach – Nervousness, Depression, Disgusting & Annoyance
Nervousness weakens digestion, causing nausea and bloating. Warming herbs (like ginger) and calming rituals support digestion.
Kidneys – Fear, anxiety & insecurity
Chronic fear drains kidney energy, causing exhaustion. Mineral-rich foods (like bone broth) and restorative practices replenish energy.
S*x Organs – Embarrassment, Lust & perversion
Emotional imbalance affects hormones. Herbs (like shatavari) and nurturing intimacy restore harmony.
Understanding these connections supports physical and emotional well-being through self-care.
