In modern society, the impact of emotional disorders is becoming increasingly evident. Registered Chinese Medicine practitioner (RCMP) Lam Chi-Lan, who works at Gleneagles Healthcare, points out the root causes of emotional issues often relate to internal organ: the liver. According to Chinese Medicine theory, the liver needs blood for nourishment. If the liver blood is insufficient, the liver becomes overly strong and sensitive to stress, causing stagnant liver qi (肝氣). The five elements theory, states that "liver (wood) exploiting spleen (earth)" (also known as 「肝木克脾土」in Chinese), meaning a stronger liver status can weaken the spleen's qi (脾氣). If qi and blood generation remains low, liver blood deficiency worsens, creating a vicious cycle that increases the risk of depression. Thus, it is essential to nourish the blood to keep the liver flexible. A healthy liver helps to enhance qi (氣) and promote emotional well-being.
According to RCMP Lam, there are many causes for emotional disorders, include liver qi stagnation and kidney deficiency. These can be identified through symptoms such as loss of appetite and heightened sensitivity to stress. She also noted that in the high-pressure environment of city life, many people experience symptoms such as cold hands and feet, which are not due to insufficiency of qi and blood (氣血不足), but rather from tension and qi stagnation that obstructs blood circulation in the extremities. To alleviate these conditions, RCMP Lam recommends drinking warm herbal teas, such as rose tea, to promote circulation.
In terms of treatment, acupuncture is one effective option. For instance, abdominal acupuncture can help adjust overall qi and blood, while acupuncture on specific points, such as San Yin Jiao (三陰交) and Nei Guan (內關) can aid regulating the nervous system and enhancing serotonin secretion, helping to alleviate emotions. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet is crucial; it is advisable to avoid excessive intake of foods that can lead to digestive issues, as well as overly greasy and spicy foods to prevent in worsening globus hystericus (梅核氣), which is a symptom in exacerbating phlegm and qi obstruction, also the symptoms of an excess of heat caused by a deficiency in Yin (陰虛火旺). It is recommended to choose snacks that nourish the heart and spleen, such as longan, and cinnamon powder paired with apples to improve mood.
To prevent emotional disorders, it is recommended to express emotions appropriately, such as talking with family and friends. Regularly monitoring one's sleep quality and social interactions is also essential. Maintaining good sleep and an active social life can lower the risk of emotional disorders.

在現代社會中，情緒病的影響愈發明顯。服務於港怡醫療的註冊中醫師林之蘭指出，情緒問題的根源往往與臟腑——肝有關。根據中醫理論，肝為「剛臟」，剛強的器官需要肝血來濡養。當肝血不足以致肝木剛強，便很容易受到環境壓力的刺激，引起肝氣鬱結。中醫五行中「肝木克脾土」，肝木過強引起脾氣虛弱。當氣血進一步生成不足時，肝血虧虛的情況更趨嚴重，惡性循環令抗壓能力更低，更容易發生憂鬱。因此，生活需養血以柔肝；當肝臟柔順，則能肝氣調達、情緒舒暢、心情平和。
林醫師提到，情緒病有多種原因包括肝鬱和腎虛等，均可以透過一些併發症狀，如食慾不振和容易受驚等找出病因病機。她又舉例指，都市生活壓力大，許多人會出現手腳冰冷等症狀，但這並非因氣血不足，而是因緊張、氣滯而四肢末端氣血不通。林醫師建議此類情況之人士飲用熱花茶，如玫瑰花茶，以促進氣血循環，從而緩解狀況。
在治療方面，針灸是有效的方案之一。例如，腹針可以調整整體氣血，而針灸亦能針對特定穴位，如三陰交和內關等有助調節神經系統及增強血清素分泌等，幫助舒緩情緒。此外，日常飲食同樣重要，應避免過量攝取難以消化或過於油膩和辛辣的食物，以免加重痰氣互阻（梅核氣）和陰虛火旺的症狀。林醫師亦建議選擇補益心脾的桂圓、補火助陽帶來動力的肉桂粉配蘋果等小吃改善心情。
針對預防出現情緒問題，中醫建議適當抒發情緒，例如多與家人和朋友傾訴。此外，定期關注自己的睡眠質素和保持活躍的社交狀態，能有效降低情緒病的風險。 🔎請按此觀看林之蘭醫師分享有關情緒病及中醫治療方法的訪問。 | |  | Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong
