Emotional Roots of Disease

Holistic health care involves all levels of being: body, mind, emotions, soul. True health cannot be achieved without addressing the health of the inner being. Every single one of us has lived complicated lives with moments of pain trauma, suffering, and sadness. Sometimes these experiences define our whole lives but often they direct the patterns that we follow for the rest of our days, often without our awareness. It is therefore necessary to work with our true selves and the emotions we may have buried or forgotten in order to change the current of our health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the emotions are housed in our different organs and organ systems. It is most often the case that where there is physical imbalance or disease in one of these systems that the associated emotion is a root cause of the issue. Traditional Chinese Medicine guides us to use the Meridian System to help release the body from trapped emotions and stagnant energies. This system is a network of electromagnetic energy that moves energy or Chi throughout the body. Working to clear these meridians with hands-on techniques can assist the healing process. Utilizing flower essences and essential oils can further support this process and help achieve deeper levels of healing for the body, mind, heart, and soul.
