Crying as a Sign of Imbalances in Your Body According to Chinese Medicine

Crying as a Sign of Imbalances in Your Body According to Chinese Medicine

We are not deliberately taught that we have an innate ability to deal with pain and trauma.

Our bodies instinctively know how to do it. Crying is one way we cleanse our bodies of toxins. It allows us to release blocked or excessive energy and redirect it in a better direction.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), tears are one of the detoxifying agents, along with mucus, sweat, saliva, etc. When we do not allow ourselves to feel our emotions and instead suppress them through substitute activities or intoxicants, such as food or calming medications, we produce hormones called enkephalins that suppress our tears and block our full emotional expression.

Tears contain toxins that the body needs to get rid of. When we allow full emotional flow and make space for our true feelings, our body, mind, and spirit naturally cleanse and free themselves from this burdensome energy. Usually, insight into what to do in a given situation often comes after we reflect on it, feel our emotions, and shed tears. Only when we feel relieved do we begin to think about the situation differently.

Tears of Joy and Tears of Sadness Are Physiologically and Chemically Different
Tears of joy have a subtle taste, while tears of anger, sadness, and grief are salty. Crying is part of the body’s emotional system; it processes and "digests" our feelings. This helps us overcome painful emotions quickly and effectively. It is a way to meet with ourselves, connect with our emotional core, and rid ourselves of many ailments, most of which are simply the final result of needs that have been buried, denied, and unexperienced for years.

It is a way to release something that is overflowing within us. Crying prompts the organs to align themselves and return to their normal functioning. The organ responsible for creating tears is the Liver. In Chinese medicine, no other organ can produce and expel tears. The Liver governs the eyes, influences the ability to see, affects the moistening of the eyes, and controls the ability to cry.

Additionally, it is the only organ capable of directing energy throughout the body. It can, according to the momentary need, remove or replenish Qi and blood, ensuring that all organs and internal systems function correctly.

When the liver is strong, the eyes are naturally well-moisturized, vision is clear, and a person can cry when needed. However, when a person suffers from a deficiency of Yin and/or blood in the liver, their eyes become dry, vision weakens, and if there is a need to cry, they may be unable to do so. Their ability to experience their emotions will be limited, leading to chest heaviness and anxiety, sometimes escalating into physical pain.

A deficiency of liver Yin and/or blood can arise due to emotional stress, overexertion from physical activities, poor dietary habits, overwork without adequate rest, and significant blood loss, such as from surgery or heavy menstruation. The rise of liver Yang occurs especially due to anger and stress.
