He had a tendency, from a fairly young age, to worry, and it grew to gigantic proportions immediately after his spleen was removed. Fortunately, it is not a deep worry, but rather a sort of constant superficial worry that doesn't really plague him. He benefits, as I believe any spleen-organ deficient person would, from spleen tonics. It does help his worrying too. It is still necessary to make a TCM diagnosis. Hope this hlps.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hugo, Thanks for the response, it seems to make sense to me, also in terms of some symptoms i'm having, I have an appointment this wednesday so we'll see how it goes! Worry ties into spleen as well? I'm not ultra-stressed, but when things get on my mind they tend to stick....and I occasionally overwork myself over issues..... hmmm..

A reminder to those new to TCM: Pensiness or obsessing is the emotion associated with the Spleen. The TCM understanding of body-mind unity is a lot more sophisticated than that of most in the West. Once an imbalance occurs - from whatever cause (infection, truama, emotion, toxin, etc.) - the person is going to be primed and more prone to feel the emotion(s) associated with that particular Organ.
