Emotions are stored and expressed through the body. The proof is in the research.
🧠 Liver & Anger: Chronic anger and stress trigger the sympathetic nervous system, increasing cortisol and inflammatory cytokines, which can worsen PMS, tension headaches, and toxin buildup (NCBI, 2021).
🦋 Thyroid & Feeling Unheard: Emotional suppression and chronic stress affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, disrupting hormone levels and potentially contributing to hypothyroidism (Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022).
🫀 Kidneys & Fear: Long-term fear activates the HPA axis, impacting adrenal function and leading to fatigue, back pain, and bladder sensitivity (Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2019).
❤️ Heart & Heartbreak: Emotional distress can raise heart rate and blood pressure. “Broken heart syndrome” (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is a real, stress-induced condition that mimics a heart attack (Harvard Health, 2020).
💧 Bladder & Worry: The bladder is sensitive to emotional states. Anxiety increases pelvic floor tension, contributing to urinary urgency, pain, or dysfunction (International Urogynecology Journal, 2018).
💨 Lungs & Grief: Grief often alters breathing patterns, weakening respiratory function and increasing susceptibility to conditions like asthma or chronic fatigue (Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2017).
