The Role of Spleen and Kidney Regulation in Anxiety and Insomnia
In today’s high-stress and information-heavy environment, anxiety and insomnia are increasingly common. In TCM, the Heart governs the mind, but its stability depends on Kidney Yin and sufficient Qi and Blood.

When Kidney Yin is deficient, the Heart is not properly nourished, leading to anxiety and insomnia.

When Spleen function is strong, Qi and Blood production is sufficient, which transforms into Kidney essence and stabilizes the mind.

Thus, strengthening the Spleen and Kidneys improves emotional stability, sleep quality, and stress resilience.

脾腎調理與焦慮失眠的關係
在現代高壓與資訊過載的環境中，焦慮與失眠變得愈來愈普遍。中醫認為心主神明，但其穩定需依賴腎陰及氣血充足。

當腎陰不足時，心神失養，容易出現焦慮與失眠。

當脾胃功能良好，氣血充足時，氣血可轉化為腎精，進一步穩定心神。

因此，調理脾腎能改善情緒穩定、睡眠質素及抗壓能力。

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is said:
“The Kidneys govern Water.🌊
The Heart governs Fire.” 🔥
The Heart is like the body’s furnace,
while Kidney Water
is like the water inside the pot above it.

中醫講：「腎主水🌊，心主火🔥」。心就像體內的火爐，
而腎水，就像火爐上架著的鍋裡的水。

A real case:

A menopausal woman, under constant work stress and sleeping only five hours a night, returned from a long business trip and attended a dinner gathering with alcohol.

That same night, she suddenly experienced hot flashes, palpitations, chest tightness, and even a strong sense of impending death. Yet hospital examinations found no clear structural problem.

真實案例：

一位更年期女性患者，平時工作繁忙，每天只睡五小時。

有一次遠途出差剛回家，又應酬喝酒。當晚突然出現潮熱、心慌、胸悶，甚至強烈瀕死感。送醫檢查，卻找不到器質性問題。

Why would this happen?

When the fire remains steady and the pot contains enough water, heat circulates properly. Water slowly transforms into steam, driving the entire system.

This is what TCM refers to as:

“Kidney Water transforming into Qi.”
That Qi becomes the body's driving force — bringing vitality, clarity, and energy.
But if the fire becomes too strong, or the water inside the pot grows insufficient, the furnace begins to lose control.

🔥 Rising Heart Fire
🔥 Hot flashes
🔥 Palpitations
🔥 Chest tightness

The body starts sending warning signals.
當火勢穩定、鍋裡的水也充足時，火能正常運作，水慢慢化成蒸氣，推動整個系統循環。這就是中醫說的：「腎水化氣。」腎氣是生命的原動力，讓身體充滿活力與精神。
但如果火太旺，或鍋裡的水越來越少，火爐就會開始失控。

🔥 心火上衝
🔥 潮熱
🔥 心悸
🔥 胸悶

身體便開始發出警訊。
The reason was simple:

• Long travel and mental strain → depleting Yin fluids
• Late nights → consuming Yin
• Alcohol → adding fuel to the fire
• Menopause → naturally reduced Yin energy

As Kidney Water became insufficient, Heart Fire lost its balance.

原因在於：

• 長途奔波與勞心 → 消耗陰液
• 熬夜 → 耗陰
• 酒精應酬 → 火上添柴
• 更年期 → 陰氣自然減少

這些因素使腎水不足，心火失去制衡。

🧠 In short:

The way to protect yourself in the Fire Era is not simply to extinguish the fire — but to replenish the water.

When Kidney Water is sufficient, the furnace remains stable. Balance between Water and Fire is what gives life its vitality.

🧠 一句話總結：

火運時代的自保之道，不是滅火，而是補水。

腎水足，火爐穩；水火既濟，生命充滿活力。

Why focus on the Spleen and Kidneys instead of only the Heart?
Many people assume that in a “fire-strong” condition, the Heart should be the main focus. However, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Heart stability does not exist independently—it relies on the coordinated support of the Spleen and Kidneys.

The relationship can be understood as follows:
On one hand, Kidney essence nourishes Heart Yin, helping to balance excessive Heart fire and internal heat.
On the other hand, the Spleen generates Qi and Blood, which directly support cardiac function.

At the same time, any surplus Qi and Blood can be transformed into Kidney essence. In turn, Kidney essence continues to nourish Heart Yin, forming a continuous positive feedback loop of mutual support and regulation:
Spleen → Qi and Blood → Kidney essence → regulates Heart fire → supports Heart stability

Thus, regulating the Spleen and Kidneys does not only support general health, but also indirectly stabilizes the Heart and emotional system.

From a modern medical perspective, impaired kidney function increases cardiovascular burden, while poor digestive function also negatively affects heart health.

為何重點在脾腎而非單純心火
很多人以為「火旺」的問題應該主要處理心火，但在中醫理論中，心的穩定並非獨立存在，而是依賴脾腎的協同支持。

其關係如下：
一方面，腎精可以滋養心陰，幫助平衡過盛的心火與內在虛熱。
另一方面，脾負責生化氣血，氣血可以直接支持心臟功能運作。

同時，多餘的氣血亦可以轉化為腎精，而腎精再反過來滋養心陰，形成一個持續性的良性循環調節系統：
脾 → 氣血 → 腎精 → 制約心火 → 穩定心神

因此，調理脾腎不僅是整體養生基礎，更是間接穩定心臟與情緒系統的關鍵。

從現代醫學角度來看，腎功能不佳會增加心血管負擔，而消化吸收能力不足亦會影響心臟健康。

How “Doomscrolling” Consumes Vital Energy in the Body
Many people are currently trapped in a cycle of anxiety and constant scrolling of news content. This behaviour, known as “doomscrolling,” keeps the mind in a prolonged state of stimulation.

From a TCM viewpoint, the mechanism is as follows:
Staying up late + mental overexcitement
→ upward movement of internal fire
→ depletion of Kidney essence
→ disharmony between Heart and Kidneys
This may result in insomnia, excessive dreaming, and mental fatigue.
At the same time, emotional stress causes Qi stagnation and disrupts circulation of Qi and Blood, leading to headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, and digestive discomfort.

Liver Qi overactivity can further overact on the Spleen, weakening digestion and reducing energy levels.

👉 Next post: why the real key is not only “Heart fire,” but Spleen–Kidney imbalance.

「厄運滑手機」如何消耗身體正氣
現代人常陷入焦慮與不斷滑動新聞資訊的循環中，這種行為稱為「doomscrolling」，會令大腦長時間處於刺激狀態。

從中醫角度來看，其機制如下：
熬夜＋精神亢奮
→ 火氣上升
→ 消耗腎精
→ 心腎失衡
可導致失眠、多夢及精神疲勞。
同時，情緒壓力會造成氣機鬱滯，影響氣血運行，出現頭痛、頸肩緊繃及消化不適等問題。

肝氣過旺亦會影響脾胃，令消化功能下降、能量不足。

🔥 Sometimes,
what truly exhausts you
is not just one thing.
It’s three different fires
burning you at the same time.
🔥 有時候，
讓你真正累的，
不只是一件事。
而是三把火，
正在同時消耗身體。
In the Fire Era,
the body accumulates heat
more easily than before.
在火運時代裡，
身體承受的火氣，
比以前更容易累積。
🔥 The Fire of the Era
The Nine Period Fire Cycle (九紫離火運)
brings a stronger overall fire nature,
making the heart, blood vessels,
emotions, and eyes
more vulnerable to imbalance.
🔥 外在火運之火
九紫離火運帶來的天時火性，
使火氣整體偏旺，
心、血管、情緒與眼睛都容易受影響。
🔥 The Fire of Habits
Late nights and insufficient sleep
gradually drain the body’s Yin fluids.
It is like constantly adding firewood into a furnace,
causing internal heat to grow stronger over time.
🔥 習慣之火
熬夜、睡眠不足，
會慢慢耗傷陰液。
像是不斷往火爐裡添柴，
讓內火越燒越旺。
🔥 The Fire of Technology
Constant scrolling and prolonged screen exposure
do not only strain the eyes,
but also increase emotional
and nervous system overload.
🔥 科技之火
長時間滑手機、盯螢幕，
不只讓眼睛疲勞，
也會增加神經與情緒負荷。
When these three fires exist together,
heat accumulates even more easily.
Dry eyes,
irritability,
insomnia,
and palpitations
may slowly begin to appear.
當三種火同時存在，
火氣就更容易累積。
眼睛乾澀、
情緒煩躁、
失眠、心悸，
都可能慢慢開始出現。
🧠 In short:
The Fire Era does not create bad habits —
but it makes the cost of existing exhaustion
appear much faster.
🧠 一句話：
火運不會製造壞習慣，
卻會讓原本的消耗，
更快顯現代價。

In a Year of Excess Fire — How to Protect the Spleen and Kidneys
At the beginning of this year, many people feel increasing instability, rapid changes, and prolonged mental stress due to constant exposure to news and information. This creates continuous psychological tension and internal imbalance.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, the key feature of this year is excessive internal “fire.”

Excess fire first depletes Kidney essence (Jing), which is the fundamental source of life energy in the body. TCM states: “Weak water cannot control strong fire.”
When Kidney essence is insufficient, organ function becomes unstable. Emotional stress also leads to Liver Qi stagnation, further affecting the Spleen and digestion.

Therefore, the main focus of this year is:
Protect Kidney essence
Strengthen the Spleen and digestion
👉Next post: how modern lifestyle habits accelerate internal fire consumption and energy depletion.

《赤馬年火氣重：從中醫角度談如何調養脾腎》
今年一開始，很多人感受到局勢動盪、變化頻繁，加上長時間接收資訊，精神持續緊繃，導致內在失衡。

從中醫角度來看，今年的核心特點是「火氣偏旺」。

火氣過旺首先會消耗腎精，而腎精為生命根本能量。中醫有言：「弱水不能制強火」。
當腎精不足時，五臟六腑運作會失衡；情緒壓力亦會導致肝氣鬱結，進一步影響脾胃功能。

因此，今年養生重點是：
固護腎精
健脾養胃
👉下一篇：我們將探討現代生活習慣如何加速體內「火氣消耗正氣」的過程。

🔥 In modern life,
we are constantly adding fuel to the fire.
🔥 在現代生活中，
我們其實一直在往火裡添柴。

In a screen-dependent lifestyle,
this firewood is added more frequently—and more intensely:
在高度依賴螢幕的生活中，
這些柴火被加得更勤、更快：
Prolonged screen exposure
Late nights and insufficient sleep
Emotional tension and accumulated stress
長時間盯著螢幕
熬夜、睡眠不足
情緒緊繃、壓力累積
Each of these fuels rising Liver Fire,
increasing the burden on the eyes over time.
每一項，都在助長肝火上炎，
讓眼睛的負擔不斷加重。

🧠 In short:
Liver Fire acts as fuel, feeding the Heart’s furnace.
The eyes are the first to “smoke”—
a signal from the body that internal heat is rising,
and it is time to cool down and rest.
一句話總結：
肝火如柴，助燃心爐；
眼睛最先冒煙，是身體在提醒你——
內火已高，該降溫、該休息了。
👉 Next: When heat continues to rise,
how does it begin to affect deeper systems in the body?

🔥⚠️red, irritated eyes may actually be a sign of rising Liver Fire.

🔥⚠️眼睛紅癢其實是肝火上炎的表現。

Are dry eyes, redness, showing up again and again?
Many times, the problem is not just in the eyes themselves.
眼睛紅癢反覆出現？
很多時候，問題不只在眼睛。
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is said:
“The Liver opens into the eyes.”
When Liver Fire rises upward,
the eyes are often the first place to show signs.
中醫認為：
「肝開竅於目」
當肝火往上衝，
眼睛通常最先出現反應。

🔥 If the Heart is like a furnace in the body,
then Liver Fire
is the firewood constantly being added to it.
Fire does not keep growing on its own.
This rising heat that continuously pushes upward
is one expression of what TCM calls “Fire Movement” (火運).
🔥 如果說「心」像火爐，
那麼肝火，
就是不斷往裡面添的柴。
火不會自己越燒越旺。
而這股持續往上推的熱，
🧠 In short:
When the eyes start to “smoke,”
it may mean the internal fire in the body has already begun to rise.
🧠 In one sentence:
When the eyes start to “smoke,”
it may be a sign that the body’s internal fire is already burning.
We should not underestimate the impact that rising Liver Fire can have on the body.
It is also important to understand the relationship between the Liver and the Heart,
and where this internal heat truly comes from.
In the next post, we’ll reveal
which everyday habits may be quietly “adding firewood to the flame” inside the body.
🧠一句話：
眼睛開始「冒煙」，
代表體內的火，可能已經燒起來了。
我們不能低估肝火對身體造成的影響，
也要進一步了解肝火與心火之間的關係，
以及這股火，究竟是從哪裡來的。
在下一篇，我們會揭曉：
哪些日常習慣，
正在默默替身體「加柴添火」？
