There are totally 12 organs in traditional Chinese medicine, named gallbladder, liver, lung, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, bladder, kidney, pericardium and Sanjiao. Every organ has its own natural positive energy. But, when the body healthy condition is destroyed or the external condition induces the imbalance in the mind and body, the negative emotions will be generated.
The occasional visit of negative emotions to the organ may as well, but if it happens frequently, the organ may be damaged and the corresponding diseases may occur.
Every organ corresponds to one meridian. Excessive negative emotion may block the circulation of the related meridian. By unblocking the meridian, the wastes in the human body induced by the harmful emotion can be removed. As a result, the negative emotion is relieved.
