Emotional Disorders

Restore Emotional Balance with Chinese Medicine 

At Nature Heals Clinic in Kew, Melbourne, we provide holistic care for emotional health through the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Emotional well-being is closely tied to the balance of your internal organ systems and the smooth flow of Qi, your vital life energy.

Understanding Emotional Health in Chinese Medicine

In Chinese medicine, emotional disturbances are seen as imbalances in the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated with specific organs and emotions:

  • Wood (Liver and Gallbladder): Anger, frustration

  • Fire (Heart and Small Intestine): Joy, agitation

  • Earth (Spleen and Stomach): Worry, overthinking

  • Metal (Lung and Large Intestine): Grief, sadness

  • Water (Kidney and Bladder): Fear, insecurity

When these elements become imbalanced, often due to stress, trauma, lifestyle factors, or hormonal shifts, it can lead to emotional distress. For example, sudden mood swings from joy to fear may reflect a disharmony between the Heart (Fire) and Kidney (Water) systems.
