The connection between our emotions and the health of our internal organs, particularly the digestive system, is an important and intriguing topic.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), emotions are not merely psychological experiences—they are closely linked to organ function. Research supports this perspective, demonstrating that stress, anxiety, and emotional fluctuations can affect overall well-being through the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.
