Описание: If anxiety immediately shows up in your stomach, Chinese Medicine has a very clear explanation. The Spleen and Stomach are responsible for digestion and digesting, both physically and emotionally. When they are weak or overworked, stress hits the gut fast, leading to nausea, tightness, bloating, or loss of appetite.

At the same time, anxiety often reflects an overwhelmed Liver. In Chinese Medicine, the Liver is sensitive to stress, frustration, and pressure. When it becomes overwhelmed, it can “attack” the Spleen and Stomach, disrupting digestion and creating that sudden queasy, unsettled feeling. This is why stomach symptoms often flare during emotional stress or anxiety.

To reduce this pattern, TCM focuses on supporting digestion and calming the Liver. To Eating warm, grounding meals, avoiding skipping meals, regulating blood sugar, gentle movement to release tension, and slowing down the nervous system all help protect the gut from stress. To support the Liver, consume more green and sour foods, like citrus, cruciferous veggies, green apples, spinach, arugula, artichoke, or dandelion greens. When the Liver relaxes and digestion is supported, anxiety has less of a place to land. Acupuncture and acupressure can also help balance these energies very well.
