What does TCM say about overthinking and worry?

1. The Role of the Spleen and Stomach System: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the spleen and stomach are closely interconnected and play vital roles in mental and emotional well-being. The spleen is responsible for processing thoughts and transforming them into constructive actions, while the stomach is essential for nourishing the body and mind.
2. Imbalances Leading to Overthinking: Factors such as poor diet, irregular eating habits, emotional stress, and lifestyle choices can disrupt the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to imbalances. When these organs are weakened or imbalanced, they may struggle to regulate emotions effectively, resulting in symptoms like overthinking and worry.
3. Accumulation of Dampness and Phlegm: Imbalances in the spleen and stomach system can lead to the accumulation of dampness and phlegm in the body. This buildup can manifest as symptoms such as foggy thinking, overthinking, and excessive worry, further exacerbating mental and emotional distress.

TCM offers holistic approaches to address imbalances in the spleen and stomach system and alleviate symptoms of overthinking and worry. Dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mind-body practices like qigong and tai chi can help restore balance to these organs, promoting mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
