Returning to Balance Part 4 of 5: Spleen & Stomach

Today’s session is an engaging exploration of the spleen and stomach, two vital organs that bridge our physical health with our emotional well-being.

The spleen, a multifunctional organ, plays a critical role in both our immune response and our digestive processes. This dual functionality underlines its significance in nourishing the body and protecting it from external threats.

Discover how the spleen can impact our subconscious, drawing parallels with ancient Chinese medical theories that modern science is just beginning to support.

The stomach, while commonly associated with digestion, also crucially influences our processing of emotions and thoughts, acting as a partner to our conscious mind.

Dive into the intriguing connection between these organs and our mental states, a relationship increasingly highlighted by new microbiome research. Learn how the gut’s microbes profoundly shape our mood, influence our thoughts, and can even play a role in anxiety and depression.

Join us to grasp how these organs do more than just process our food—they also digest our life experiences, steering us towards improved health and a clearer mind. This exploration offers a deep insight into the interconnectedness of digestion, emotion, and thought, merging the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with contemporary scientific insights.
