There is a lot about corresponding organ/meridian issues with emotions on orientalmedicine.com. There are many books on the subject. The Web That Has No Weaver, Between Heaven And Earth and many more, although, in reality the imbalances occurring in the body are far more complex than indicated in any text book. It is nice to read these texts to understand the basics. This article I posted is to impart that yes, looking at the issues that led to illness is really important, as important as trying to get yourself well. Because while illness may have been for simple reasons such as taking certain medications or eating certain foods, but, also involved may be deeper issues that should also be worked on at the same time. But, I think the bigger message in this article and that I always try to express, is that getting a chronic illness often is like an exploding point, where your body just cant take anymore and it is the body's way of saying "enough" and this gives you the opportunity to change courses and take different care of it. These changes may impact the rest of your life and change the way in which your body functions and feels-both physically and emotionally. So, this is what I mean when I say sometimes getting sick can be a blessing because you are often able to then divert destinations.
