GRIEF
In Chinese Medicine the Fire element and its primary organ, the Heart, are important in the ability to feel warmth and closeness to others. The Metal element and its primary organ, the Lung, are important in our ability to let go and move on. Hence, both these organs are intensely affected by the death of a loved one. By treating bereaved people holistically, but with special focus on the Heart and Lung energies, acupuncture has the ability to help mend a ‘broken heart’ and to aid in the necessary process of ‘moving on’ or being able to continue with life. This is not about forgetting, but about being able to cope more successfully with life after loss of someone close.
