In Traditional Chinese Medicine we understand stress through the lens of the liver. The livers role is to ensure a smooth flow of Qi (energy) around the body, and smooth flowing Qi equals a healthy harmonious mind body system. The liver is also in charge of processing stress. When we experience high stress in our lives, or get stuck in a stress cycle this stagnates our Liver Qi. This impacts our immune system (spleen) and our energy levels (kidneys).
