Chinese Medicine and The Major Organ Systems
Why do our internal organs correspond to seemingly unrelated aspects of nature, such as the Five Elements or the seasons? Modern quantum science as well as the ancient teachings of Chinese medicine says that everything is about energy and everything is energy. Everything that makes up a human being, mind-body-spirit, correlates at an energetic level to something “external” in nature. We can use the vibrational frequency of nature and these principles of natural law to heal and balance our bodies and emotions.
This principle of interconnectedness also applies between different physical aspects of our bodies. For example, the Kidney organ (TCM’ defines “organ” as including its energetic as well as its physiological aspects) correlates with the tissue of bone/teeth, the sensory taste of salt, the sensory organ of the ear, and the areas of the lower back, knees, and the heels/feet.
How can we use all this information on a practical level for better health? Read more below to learn about the signs and symptoms that each major organ will use as a “red flag” to let you know that it is out of balance or low in energy, and how you can apply the Five Element framework to support the health of each individual organ system.
Did you know, you can also eat specific foods to support each of your organs? Read here for dietary tips and recipes.
Liver health: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Liver is the organ that is most affected by excess stress or emotions. Feel it, express it, but don’t hold it! Are you often irritable? Do things stress you out easily? Your Liver is telling you that its function is becoming out of balance. Read more here about Liver health.
Heart health: Did you know that incorporating more smiles into your daily meditation practice or just throughout the day can benefit your heart?

Stomach health: Chronic stress, worry, and anxiety can damage Stomach function very quickly. Without the proper functioning of the Stomach, you can easily begin to suffer from poor digestive health and low metabolism function. Read here to find out more about Stomach health.
Lung health: Too much sadness and grieving can harm the Lung and its partner, the Large Intestine. “Letting things go” is a healthy way to deal with loss in life. Stimulate your Lung’s function by getting rid of physical and emotional baggage. Read more about Lung health.
Kidney health: The Kidney is the “reserve generator” of energy in the body, supplying extra Qi to all the organs when necessary. Its corresponding emotion of fear can be a red flag that this powerhouse of the body is itself low on Qi and needs some loving care! Read more here.
