Traditional Chinese Medicine PERSPECTIVE ON ANXIETY/IRRITABILITY
According to TCM, anxiety and irritability are signs and manifestations of a disturbance of Shen or the disharmony of Heart Yang and Yin. Underlying conditions mainly include overactive Yang with excessive Heat and Fire, and deficient Yin and Blood.
The first condition is caused by things like emotional upset, stress, anger, unhealthy diet, poor digestion, use of drugs, etc.. Causes of the second condition are things like too much worry and thinking, lack of sleep and rest, poor nutrition, use of drugs, etc..
Principles of treatment mainly include clearing excess Heat or Fire, nourishing or tonifying Yin and Blood, harmonizing Heart Yin and Yang, and calming the
Shen.
