Cardiology & Mental Health

Since ancient times, in Traditional Oriental medicine, the heart is the source of energy that circulates blood to all organs.

It is regarded as the most important organ in the human body that governs the mind and thoughts.

By controlling the heart, which governs the autonomic nervous system, and bringing stability to the heart, many problems in the body and mind are treated.

Two forms of cardiac abnormalities: Cardiac Deficiency and Cardiac Excess

The cause of all mental symptoms is divided into the form of Cardiac Excess which is overheating of the Heart, and Cardiac Deficiency, which is weakness of the Heart.

Through appropriate prescription, treatment is given to help tonify/strengthen a deficient Heart, or Passify/Relieve an Excess Heart.

Let’s all pickup our phones. How do we fix our phone with a depleting battery? We plug in a charger to our phone to charge the battery for the amount we need. This is a similar concept we can take to ease an anxious heart. Before our heart is completely depleted, which can cause our mind and body to not function normally, we have to charge our battery back up. The korean word “Ansim” 안심 means relaxing the heart. Ansim basically serves as a fatigued heart recovery agent. It helps restore daily physical conditions and restores lost energy, and lost motivation as well. It is excellent for calming anxiety, and restoring tranquility for those who often feel anxiety, panic disorders, and those with insomnia or lack of concentration.

Symptoms can be:

Panic Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Test Anxiety, Social Phobia(Social Anxiety Disorder), Palpitations, Insomnia, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain, numbness, tinnitus.
