𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈)

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), emotions and physical health are intricately connected. Let’s explore how emotions relate to specific organs and elements.

🔴 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙔𝙞𝙣
> This emotional state is characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness, and a lack of interest in life, relationships, and social activities.
> The heart, associated with joy in TCM, seems to be experiencing a Yin imbalance here. Perhaps it yearns for more warmth and connection.

🟥 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙜
> On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Fire Heart Yang. This personality type is overexcitable, overenthusiastic, and sometimes irresponsible.
> The heart’s fire burns brightly, igniting passion and enthusiasm. However, it’s essential to find a balance to avoid burning out.

🟡 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙔𝙞𝙣
> The Earth Spleen Yin personality tends to worry excessively. There’s too much thinking and not enough action. This personality type may feel tired and empty inside, struggling to care for themselves or others.
> The spleen, associated with digestion and stability, might need some grounding and nourishment.

🟨 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙜
> Earth Spleen Yang individuals are clingy, intrusive, and possessive. They limit the independence of others due to their concerns.
> Balancing the Earth element involves finding stability without stifling growth.
