This is part 4 in “The Wisdom of Our Body’s Organs”
Traditional Chinese medicine regards the body’s five organs as more than physiological structures—viewing them as interconnected systems related to the mind. Each organ also corresponds to a specific emotion—joy, worry, grief, anger, or fear.
In the Ming Dynasty, a nobleman, renowned for his quick temper, suffered from a severe eye disease. He constantly looked in the mirror, impatient to find a cure, yet repeated treatments brought him no relief.
Finally, Yang Benheng, a famous physician, examined him and said: “Your eye ailment could have been cured, but because you have taken medicines for so long, the toxic influence has now affected your left leg. Before long, symptoms will likely appear there.”
