Anxiety and depression
DO YOU SUFFER FROM ANXIETY AND/OR DEPRESSION?
In Chinese medicine, emotions are viewed as an integrated aspect of organ functions, and sometimes the root cause of disease. Fear relates to the Water Element and the Kidney energetic organ system. Each of the organs is assigned an emotion and the Heart ‘houses the mind’ in Chinese medicine; it is the origin at the center of all emotions. The Spleen is related to obsessing and over thinking; the Kidney is related to fear and phobias; the Lung is related to grief, self esteem, and the inability to let go; the Liver is related to anger, frustration and feeling stuck. Imbalances in any or all of the energetic organ systems can be part of the imbalance depending on how anxiety manifests in a particular individual. Kidney Deficiency is almost always a core issue with anxiety.
With anxiety a person can have excessive energy, also referred to as heat or energy (qi), in the head. Symptoms of anxiety due to this ungrounded energy include insomnia, racing thoughts, and excessive worry.
Depression, on the other hand, can be described as stagnant energy within the body. This stagnation can create imbalances that lead to symptoms of depression, such as an inability to focus, melancholy, anger, fatigue, and a lack of inspiration.
The Western approach to treating depression and anxiety involve prescribing drugs.. More natural minded approaches would include diet changes and herbal supplements. But both of these approaches work on the BIOCHEMICAL LEVEL- and does not address the ENERGETIC component of this ungrounded and stagnant BIOENERGY in the body. Using, herbs, supplements, diet changes and drugs all take 3-6 weeks of implementation to actually see changes. Traditionally in Chinese medicine, acupuncture with needles would be used once or twice a week for 3-6 months to help stabilise this flow of energy thru the body. But new advances in technology means it is possible to stimulate points on the body continuously for 24 hours that achieve results within minutes and hours to GROUND and MOVE this stagnant energy. And you can do this at home, safely without needles. This is where Lifewave patches come into play!
