mood swings
nowadays, as professional demands and private desires are increasing, often accompanied by frustration and self-doubt, inner peace and balance are an invaluable asset. but what to do when you get up in the morning already with this feeling that things are wrong? when your kids drive you nuts at breakfast, or you feel the urge to kill your boss on the next meeting? or if you can’t help but crying at the slightest criticism, or you would like to yell at everyone because they are all useless?
when men suffer from mood swings, this is often attributed to stress or even a burnout. in women it is more likely spoken of premenstrual syndrome or depression.
traditional chinese medicine (tcm) deals intensively with the whole range of emotions like joy, worry, thoughtfulness, sadness, grief, fear, anger and asks accordingly. whenever feelings go into extremes, there is an emotional imbalance that over time can lead to other symptoms.
«body, mind and soul always influence each other»
let's take the example of anger and play it in fast motion: today you have been annoyed by your boss or partner. tomorrow you will notice that your stomach is upset and your shoulders hurt. the day after tomorrow you will be constipated and suffer from headache. the next day your blood pressure is higher than normal and you will feel dizzy. in the end you will have heart palpitations and sleeping problems. in reality, this possible development happens naturally over weeks or months. the opposite case is possible as well, means, that a physical imbalance can cause emotions, as in the very clear and nice example of the premenstrual syndrome with irritability, restlessness, nervousness or crying, melancholy, and depression.
tcm can provide a balancing service with acupuncture and herbs and sooth the mind and emotions. the aim is always the harmony of body, mind and soul. they always influence each other and are therefore considered and treated holistically. it’s obvious, that self-control techniques such as the conscious care of ones 'mental hygiene' is also necessary in order to achieve a sustainable result. boss, partner or kids may not be interchangeable, but so are the feelings and attitudes with which one encounters people and situations. also recommended are supporting measures such as tai qi, qi gong, yoga, autogenic training, meditation, which all have a calming and harmonizing effect on the mind.
