We have spoken many times about the importance of our Liver, and that a healthy Liver equates to a healthy life. Did you know that through our eyes, and specifically our tears, we can promote deep healing on a mental and physical level both for the Liver and our entire being?
Our eyes are the sense organ related to our Liver and tears are the fluid associated to the Liver. Tears are one of the ways our body detoxes, just like sweat, saliva, and mucus. Both the Heart and Kidneys influence the eyes, as well. That is why emotions also affect these two organ systems greatly as well.
In TCM we speak very often about the importance that our emotional health plays in our physical health, in fact, we say that often, emotions, especially repressed ones, can be the leading cause of physical disease.
When we have an emotional release and shed tears, our body, mind, and spirit feel cleansed. Even though what you may be crying about is painful, there is usually clarity and freedom experienced after we feel the emotions and cry. Crying showcases that the body digested feelings and is releasing after processing. This helps the body move through emotions to eliminate stagnation. Stagnation is one of the leading causes of pain— when Qi and Blood aren't flowing freely, pain ensues.
Tears can be associated with much more than sadness. Tears can express feelings of joy, fear, anxiety, grief, excitement and more. Even more interesting, tears of joy and tears of sorrow are physiologically and chemically different from each other.
Practices like acupressure, acupuncture, Qigong, meditation, proper rest, awareness, journaling, trauma therapy all help with emotional expression and moving the flow of Blood and Qi.
How can we help with herbs?
📍Liver Recharge helps the smooth flow of our emotions, Blood, and energy. Because our Liver is the most congested organ in the modern day, and also has such a job of regulating this flow, supporting the Liver is imperative. This herbal formula is available on my website.
📍Kidney Recharge can help those who have repressed emotions over the years alongside Liver Recharge.
