Root Cause of Disease

Too often in our current medical system, we attempt to resolve disease by treating symptoms. However, ancient medicine teaches us that before symptoms arise, there is a break in the energy field, subtle communication in the body becomes distorted, "dis-ease" gradually sets in, making the way for pathology, diagnosis, and clinical disease. Five thousand year old medicine, and the basis for AMMA Therapy(R), teaches that this break in the energy field begins in the emotional plane -- in the spirit.

In Chinese Medicine, there are five elements which we rely on to heal energetic imbalance. Each of these elements have a corresponding organ and emotion. Fire is associated with the heart and its corresponding emotion is Joy. Earth is associated with digestion and the emotion of Worry. Metal is associated with the lungs and the emotion of Grief. Water is associated with the kidneys and the emotion of Fear. Wood is associated with the liver and gallbladder and the emotion of Anger.

Consider for a moment this different paradigm for health. Those with heart problems, wherein lies your joy? Those with digestive problems, what is it that you cannot digest? Those with breathing issues, what is the source of your sadness? Those with chronic low back pain (the structure associated with the element of Water), what is it that you fear? Those with with liver congestion and high cholesterol levels, what is it that angers and frustrates you?

When we begin to reach for the answers to these questions, we begin to heal in the truest meaning of that word.
