Finding Decision Making Hard? According to Chinese Medicine Philosophy the GALLBLADDER plays a vital role. Paired with its Yin Partner - THE LIVER which helps control your ability to plan your life - On a psychological level, the GALLBLADDER is said to influence the capacity of following through with decision making and also controls judgment.

👅 Did you know your tongue can reveal important clues about your health?

In Chinese Medicine, your tongue is like a map, offering insights into digestive health, energy, circulation, hydration, emotional health/wellbeing and overall balance—often before symptoms become more obvious. Hence your tongue is more than just a muscle—it tells a story.

For over 2,000 years, Chinese Medicine practitioners have used tongue observation as one of their key diagnostic tools clinically to understand patterns of health and imbalance.

Chinese Medicine practitioners observe tongue colour, coating, moisture and shape.

Did you know that your organs hold EMOTIONS?
Let’s deep dive into your GUT RELATED ORGANS & THE EMOTIONS ACCORDING TO CHINESE MEDICINE PHILOSOPHY
* LARGE INTESTINE - A Yang organ is paired with its Yin partner the LUNGS. The Large Intestine holds the emotion “LETTING GO” of the past. When a person struggles with this CONSTIPATION is often experienced.
* SMALL INTESTINE - A Yang organ paired with its Yin partner the HEART. The Small Intestine takes in ingested food from the Stomach & holds the role of separating “impure from the pure” From an emotional view point the Small Intestine helps us decipher what’s right from wrong. The Small Intestine assists our mental clarity.
* LIVER - A Yin organ whose role is to control the smooth flow of QI around the body is paired with its Yang Partner the GALLBLADDER. The emotions linked to the Liver are anger, irritation and frustration. When the Qi of the Liver becomes stagnant these emotions become evident.
* STOMACH- A Yang organ paired with its Yin partner the SPLEEN. The Stomach is the receiver of ingested food and alongside the Spleen transforms ingested food into nutritive Qi & Blood to be used around the body. When the Stomach & Spleen are deficient worry, pensiveness & over thinking 🤔 become evident.
* GALLBLADDER- A Yang organ paired with its Yin partner the Liver. Emotionally indecisiveness, lack of courage and timidity are linked to the Gallbladder alongside processing life changes becomes challenging. The GUT BRAIN 🧠 Axis has been recognised in Chinese Medicine for thousands of years….way before Science 🧫 began researching it.
