We must open our minds to a higher level of thought. Within Holistic medicine and Chinese medicine, there are many teachings that affirm the connection between \u2018specific\u2019 organs and \u2018specific\u2019 thoughts and emotions. Holistic medicine teaches us how thoughts and emotions affect the physical body in the following manner: Consciousness.\u00a0 To be in a state of consciousness affects the skin and the hypothalamus. Unresolved Forgiveness. This negative thought, not forgiving others, or not forgiving oneself, affects the kidneys and bladder. Chinese medicine teaches us how thoughts and emotions affect the physical body in the following manner: \u2022\u00a0 Anger emotion affects the liver. \u2022\u00a0 Dissatisfaction and feeling \u2018burnt-out\u2019 affects the heart. \u2022\u00a0 Worrying constantly and nervousness affect the spleen-pancreas meridian. \u2022\u00a0 Defensiveness and grief affect the lungs and respiratory system. \u2022\u00a0 Fear affects the kidneys and bladder. Now that you have a\u00a0 broad understanding of how\u00a0 thoughts, feelings and emotions affect physical health, know that organs and body systems are nourished and brought back to a state of health and wellbeing, the negative thoughts and emotions that affected them dissipate, and the person feels calm, healthy, peaceful within, and joyful.<\/span><\/p><h1 class=\"entry-title\"><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\"><span style=\"color: #d1b856;\">Fear and Anger: 2 Main Emotions That Cause Disease<\/span><\/span><\/h1><p>\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"entry-content\"><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">If we are not careful, our emotions can rule us\u00a0instead of us mastering them\u2026 And to live a balanced life with Health , Joy, and Wealth, we MUST do all in our power to master\u00a0them. According to an article in The Lancet on Infectious Diseases, our emotions are also used against us. It reads: \u2018We\u00a0human beings are creatures not only of intellect but of emotion\u00a0too. Understanding this very well, campaigners against medical\u00a0advances appeal to the latter at least as much as the former. From\u00a0battles over the earliest vaccines, through cornea grafting in the\u00a01950s and heart transplantation in the 1960s, to embryo research today, opponents invariably deploy emotional ammunition as well as whatever rational arguments they can muster.\u2019 So what emotions are poked and prodded to make us feel forced to do things with our health that we should not?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Chinese medicine teaches us of <strong>seven\u00a0(7) emotions<\/strong> that can cause disorders of our internal organs and disease. These seven emotions are: <em><strong>fear, shock, joy, sorrow, worry,\u00a0contemplation, and anger.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Of these there\u00a0are specifically two (2) that must be focused on to help us overcome the others. These are <strong>Fear and\u00a0Anger<\/strong>. Let me elaborate on these two main emotions.<\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">I have noticed these to be more prevalent today than ever before in my\u00a023+ years in practice. <strong>First,\u00a0what organs do you think are weakened by Fear?\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0answer? The\u00a0<strong>Kidneys<\/strong>. Before I continue, I must remind you to open up your minds. You must unlearn what you think you know about your bodies when I discuss Chinese Medicine. It is the only way to truly understand it and help your bodies heal themselves. Having said this, let\u2019s continue\u2026<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Do you know someone with kidney problems? Have you noticed they are harboring\u00a0unresolved <strong>fear <\/strong>issues? Did you know\u00a0Holistic Medicine also teaches us that <strong>unresolved\u00a0forgiveness<\/strong>, <strong>resentment<\/strong>, are also related to kidney health? And\u00a0an even more interesting fact,\u00a0did you know\u00a0that the kidneys are known to be the <strong>residence of the loins<\/strong> according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?\u00a0In other words, if you are having problems in the <strong>Sex<\/strong> department, know that <strong>Sexual Health<\/strong> also depends on\u00a0controlling and overcoming\u00a0negative emotions, and keeping the kidneys\u00a0optimally healthy. And how are unresolved forgiveness and resentment linked to fear affecting kidney health, and in turn affect sexual health also? The person holding on to these negative emotions with so much of their being fears subconsciously that if they forgive, or let go of their resentment, that\u00a0the hurtful act done towards them may happen again\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">TCM\u00a0focuses\u00a0on strengthening these organs to help\u00a0a person overcome\u00a0debilitating emotions. The kidneys are important organs in charge of\u00a0growth, reproduction, and maintenance of the metabolic balance of\u00a0water throughout the body. Everything from bone health, to\u00a0fertility, to blood pressure health depends on kidney health. Think\u00a0of those you know with back pain, joint problems, infertility issues, ear problems or hearing problems, low\u00a0or high blood pressure, edema, fears, resentments, not able to forgive, etc.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Here are other\u00a0specific symptoms Chinese Medicine teaches us are experienced when the kidneys are weak:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Impotence<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Weak legs<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Brittle bones<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Arthritis<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Kidney inflammation<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Osteoporosis\/ Premature over calcification<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">White\/graying hair<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Tinnitus (ringing in the ear)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Back problems<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Problems when climate turns cold<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Premature aging<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Ailments in the bones<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">I recommend to patients to balance and help diminish an excess of the emotion known as Fear, strengthen the kidneys, and increase energy in the body, a specific combination of natural herbal therapies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">These\u00a0provide a basic balancing of\u00a0yin energy of the vital organs with\u00a0specific focus on kidney health.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\"><a style=\"color: #ded9d9;\" href=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/drjulissa.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140722-154556-56756521.jpg?ssl=1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/drjulissa.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140722-154556-56756521.jpg?resize=362%2C293&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"20140722-154556-56756521.jpg\" width=\"362\" height=\"293\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">And now, the second\u00a0emotion,\u2026 <strong>Anger<\/strong>. This is the emotion\u00a0related to the\u00a0<em><strong>Liver<\/strong><\/em>. This\u00a0negative emotion forces energy upward. Think of someone who\u2019s face\u00a0and\/or eyes become red when angry. Heat rises and so this is the perfect\u00a0example of how this negative energy flows within the body. This\u00a0upwards energy, which comes from the chemical plant of the body,\u00a0the liver, will have a person demonstrating symptoms of nausea, vomiting,\u00a0vomiting blood and diarrhea containing undigested foods. Do you\u00a0know someone who gets \u2018ticked off\u2019 all the time? Someone who lives\u00a0angry at others all the time and\/or angry at the world? Please know, these are symptoms of liver\u00a0imbalances. Do you know someone who has already been diagnosed with\u00a0a liver disease? Most likely the person lives with underlying\u00a0anger. The liver is one of the most important internal organs in\u00a0the human body. It is the filter of blood, fat and hormones. It\u00a0stores and regulates the blood throughout the entire body and is also in control of extending and flexing muscles and joints. The liver loves to grow and disperse, and hates to be inhibited and oppressed. For this reason, when the liver is inhibited by the emotion of anger, it is harmed as a result. Anger and anxiety are even linked to heart disease according to an article this year in The Atlantic. All this contributes as a root problem to diseases of the liver. And\u00a0 therefore, when the liver is diseased, a person demonstrates many\u00a0more subsequent emotional problems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Here are specific symptoms Chinese Medicine teaches us demonstrate Yang liver imbalances:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Gastric acidity-gastric<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">High triglyceride count<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Irritability, anger or hardheadedness<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Throat irritation<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Tonsil inflammation<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Gallbladder stones<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Eye infections (ex: sties)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Allergies<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Digestive problems<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Migraines<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">Menstrual irregularities<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">In this case, I recommend to patients a combination of natural herbal therapies that help to balance the liver, help bring more harmony within,\u00a0 and more joy to the body and self.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ded9d9;\">If we balance the emotional, the physical will follow.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-400c2424 e-con-full e-flex parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"400c2424\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12e791c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-bridge_image_gallery\" data-id=\"12e791c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"bridge_image_gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qode-image-gallery\"><div class=\"qode-image-gallery-inner\"><div class=\"qode-image-gallery-slides wpb_image_grid\" data-interval=\"\"data-drag=\"false\"><div class=\"gallery_holder\"><ul class=\"gallery_inner   v0\"><li class=\"no_grayscale\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drjulissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Epic-Emotional-Health.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Positive thoughts, negative thoughts and emotional turmoil, often aggravate\u00a0 and obstruct basic thought-emotion-body connection.
