Bite-Size Chinese Medicine

Quick notes mostly about fitting old-world wisdom into a modern American life.

Some emotional effects

Grief consumes Qi.

Worry knots it up.

Fear causes Qi to sink when it's supposed to rise.

Anger causes Qi to rise when it's supposed to descend.

Fright scatters Qi.

Euphoria makes it sluggish.

Emotions aren't bad. And they aren't inert. Harm happens when they're extreme or prolonged.
