Emotional disorders like stress, depression and anxiety aren't purely mental issues and are linked to internal organ systems in traditional Chinese medicine. The philosophy integrates mind and body, recognizing external factors (Wind, Heat, Dryness, Dampness, Cold) and internal emotional causes (anger, hate, jealousy, constant complaining, stress) affecting five organ system pairs. Either imbalances generate emotions or emotions damage organ systems.
Modern life creates emotional distress; anxiety and depression are prevalent conditions. Acupuncture offers natural relief. Lifestyle modifications support mental balance:
Exercise and meditation circulate energy and control anxiety. Combined with regular acupuncture, these practices establish positive life changes.
Sunlight meditation is the most powerful modality to treat depression in Dr. Huo’s unique healing energy medicine system. Modern medical studies show that we can treat depression with sunlight therapy.
While bright light therapy is an evidence-based treatment for seasonal depression, there is limited evidence for its efficacy in nonseasonal major depressive disorder (MDD) (JAMA). Bright light treatment, both as monotherapy and in combination with fluoxetine, was efficacious and well tolerated in the treatment of adults with nonseasonal MDD. However, the combination treatment had the most consistent effects.
If sunlight therapy fails to help you to get rid of depression, and you want to learn the most powerful and effective sunlight meditation technique, please contact Dr. Huo’s office for more information.
