Suppressed emotions block your liver

What does the liver store?

According to ancient Chinese medicine, each of our organs has a related sensation which has an extra large effect on this particular organ. This knowledge can give us some clues as to which emotional reactions may lead to which chronic diseases. F or example, the lungs related to grief and kidneys to fear.

Similarly, the liver is affected by anger and frustration. Two emotions that one should never suppress or hide from the road as this gives them direct access to affect the liver. In the same way as if you ate a whole plate full of fatty food.

Anger and other emotions

Although we focus on anger, one should also consider similar emotions such as resentment, bitterness and irritation. These feelings can be just as harmful to the liver as anger.

Excess suppressed anger can cause the liver to become blocked. Which can be extremely bothersome and cause physical discomfort, such as muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, headaches, vision problems, etc. This creates a vicious circle that can be difficult to get out of again, and in the long run this situation can lead to a chronic disease.

People who suffer from these problems know how difficult it is to change the way one responds to the daily problems of life. We constantly see  people who have repeated outbursts of anger. And our common sense tells us that this is not healthy. In fact, those people who tend to react with anger often end up suffering from heart problems.

But what is the solution? Let us review some good tips to learn how to remove the emotional blockage of the liver that carries the consequences of our negative emotions.
