In TCM theory, each emotion is associated with an internal organ. During winter season, we focus on nourishing the Kidney and its correlating emotion Fear.⁠ ⁠You might notice fear stemming from: 💜anxiety 💜stress 💜insecurity 💜trauma 💜lack of willpower 💜isolation ⁠ 🏵️When an emotion is excessive or repressed, it impacts that organ’s ability to function properly. 🏵️This is because each emotion impacts the circulation and flow of Qi in the body. ⁠ ⁠ Fear is a normal and adaptive human emotion. But when it becomes chronic and when the perceived cause of the Fear cannot be directly addressed, then this likely leads to disharmony and harms/weakens the Kidney.⁠ --- #acupuncture #fear #acupuncturist #acupunctureandfear #kidney #kidneydisease #acupressure #tcm #easternmedicine #health #wellness #qi #energy #healthandwellness #cary #raleigh #apex #northcarolina #apexnc #raleighnc #carync
