​

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), anxiety arises from disharmony in the body’s organs, disrupting Qi (energy) and Blood. Below are the top three culprits behind anxiety, their symptoms, and what these mean in Western medicine.

​

1. Liver Qi Stagnation​​

   • Symptoms: Nervousness, irritability, racing thoughts, tight chest, feeling "stuck."

   • Western Medicine: Poor circulation, muscle tension, or stress-induced hormonal imbalances (e.g., elevated cortisol).

   • Why It Happens: Emotional stress or overwork disrupts the Liver’s energy regulation.

   • TCM View: Blocked Liver Qi flow from stress or emotions causes anxiety.

2. Heart Shen Disturbance

   • TCM View: Unsettled Heart Shen (spirit) leads to mental unrest and anxiety.

   • Symptoms: Restlessness, rapid thoughts, palpitations, insomnia.

   • Western Medicine: Overactive sympathetic nervous system or adrenaline surges causing heart racing and mental agitation.

   • Why It Happens: Emotional stress or overstimulation disrupts mental clarity.

3. Kidney Yin Deficiency

   • TCM View: Depleted Kidney Yin, the body’s cooling energy, stirs anxiety.

   • Symptoms: Fearfulness, night sweats, dry mouth, anxiety worse at night.

   • Western Medicine: Hormonal imbalances (e.g., low estrogen) or adrenal fatigue affecting body regulation.

   • Why It Happens: Chronic stress or aging depletes the body’s reserves.
