Emotional health, stress, and mental well-being have a significant impact on cancer risk, survival rates, and mortality, according to TCM

Cancer is a multifaceted disease with various contributing factors, and psychological and emotional states are increasingly recognized as significant influences. Examining the link between these factors and cancer development reveals how negative emotions and stress can impact the body’s natural defenses, while positive emotions and energy regulation may offer potential benefits. Stress may accumulate in one’s body and mind, causing a blockage in energy and blood flow, which slowly accumulates into some forms of cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) views the human body as having a “meridian” system, which is a channel for energy movement and is responsible for transporting qi and blood throughout the body. Qi is the energy that constitutes life, and TCM refers to the substance that supplements nutrients in the body as blood. When there is an imbalance or deficiency of qi and blood in the body, diseases and other conditions may occur.



Specific Psychological Factors as Potential Cancer Triggers Persistent feelings of resentment and anger stemming from past events Ongoing regret and self-blame, lead to depleted energy levels Psychological entanglement arising from the inability to resolve complex problems Traditional Hawaiian Healing For example, turn your back facing the sun in the morning, and your belly to the sun in the afternoon. By doing things like these, you can increase your body’s positive energy by enjoying the sun’s rays. Sun exposure also warms the body and elevates positive energy levels.
