Emotional internal injury is the root of all diseases. This paper discusses how bad emotions cause diseases from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.

The occurrence of many diseases is closely related to emotions. Many times, a bad mood will be reflected on you for a long time. When you suppress certain emotions for too long, you may show them through illness. There is a saying: breast hyperplasia takes a step back, and ovarian cysts endure for a while. It seems to spit, but it makes sense.

People's emotions are closely related to health. Huangdi Neijing says that "people have five internal organs to produce five qi, which leads to emotions and fears". The ambition of the liver is anger, the ambition of the heart is joy, the ambition of the spleen is thinking, the ambition of the lung is worry, and the ambition of the kidney is fear. It can be seen that emotions will affect the viscera.

Some friends who are in a bad mood, easy to get angry, sulk and worry are prone to health problems, especially female friends, prone to breast problems, such as breast hyperplasia and breast nodules, while most friends who generally have breast nodules may also have thyroid nodules.

Why is this happening? Here's how "anger" causes illness.

Long-term sulking and anger will damage the liver and make the body stagnate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five elements are compatible, the liver is wood and the spleen is soil. Mutuko means that the liver is gram-positive Simply put, the organs of the human body interact with each other. When people are angry, wronged and sad, stagnation of liver qi will also hurt the spleen and stomach. Spleen governs transport and transformation, spleen loses healthy transport, and body fluid cannot transport and transform normally, which will produce phlegm and dampness. After a long time, phlegm and dampness will stagnate together, and nodules and polyps will appear.

Let me share an example with you. One of my patients has poor sleep and mild anxiety. Before going to bed at night, she had tremors, negative emotions, anxiety, nervousness and hair loss. At the same time, she also has breast nodules, hyperplasia and uterine fibroids. She had stomach polyps before and had an operation. Irregular menstruation, scanty appetite, tinnitus and poor complexion. Through comprehensive syndrome differentiation, she is suffering from liver-qi imbalance and deficiency of both heart and spleen. The main principles are soothing the liver and regulating qi, nourishing the heart and strengthening the spleen, softening and resolving hard mass, and sleeping peacefully.

This patient is a typical emotional illness, and people's emotions and pressures will affect their health. The patient's backlog of emotions is reflected in the form of nodules and hyperplasia. For this kind of patients, it is also essential to take Chinese medicine to regulate viscera, sleep and eliminate accumulation. Usually need to pay attention to emotional adjustment, happy mood, positive and optimistic life, bright face, full of energy and good health.

"All diseases are born of qi". Excessive emotion will affect qi activity, hurt viscera, and lead to various diseases or aggravate the condition. Besides eating well and sleeping well, it is also important to do a good job of emotional health every day. Don't let anger, pain, depression, pain, fear and other bad emotions precipitate in the body and become "pimples". # Emotional diseases # # Traditional Chinese Medicine # # Nodules # # Polyps #
