Emotional Considerations for Patients With Cancer

Positive emotions associated with the upper digestive system are hope, honesty, and openness. Problems in the oral cavity may arise from despair, lack of emotional nourishment, and blocked expression. Neglect, abuse, guilt, and other factors can also contribute to restricting this area.

High quality foods that nourish the upper digestive system and help develop positive emotions include whole grains, especially barley and wheat; beans and bean products; leafy green vegetables; sea vegetables; fermented foods; and good-quality sea salt, oil, and other seasonings. Foods that harm this region and contribute to negative emotions especially include chicken and eggs, as well as meat and dairy food; strong fish and seafood; white flour; sugar, chocolate, and other highly refined sweets; chemicalized and artificial foods; too many raw foods; too many stimulants and other beverages; alcohol; excessive salt and salty foods; and other extremely contractive or expansive items.

In relationships, it is important to express oneself freely and honestly. If a person is not able to make herself understood, emotional disturbances may follow, including disorders in the mouth, throat, and esophagus. On a planetary scale, the upper digestive system correlates with deltas, reservoirs, swamps, and other waterways, including those where fresh and saline water meet. Oral cancers mirror the stagnation and toxic buildup in these natural regions.

Other considerations include try to be happy, positive, and outgoing. Singing, dancing, and playing are particularly beneficial in improving overall health and mentality and harmonizing with the rhythms of nature. Light exercise, including breathing fresh air outdoors and ten to fifteen minutes a day practicing long exhalations through the nostrils, will promote harmonious mental and physical metabolism and contribute to overall relaxation.
