Q How does Korean medicine explain the cause of anger control disorder?
A In Korean medicine, prolonged liver qi stagnation (gan-gi ul-gyeol) transforms into fire, which manifests as explosive anger.
Detailed Answer
In Korean medicine, anger is closely linked to the liver. The liver governs the flow of qi and the regulation of emotions. When chronic stress or suppressed emotions persist, a state of liver qi stagnation (gan-gi ul-gyeol) develops. As the stagnation intensifies, it turns into heat and becomes liver fire (gan-hwa); when liver fire surges upward, impulsive and explosive anger appears. A decline in gallbladder function, which can reduce decisiveness and emotional regulation, is also a contributing factor.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, we use pulse and abdominal diagnosis to accurately determine whether the pattern is liver qi stagnation or liver fire flaring upward, then apply liver-soothing (so-gan) and heat-clearing (cheong-yeol) therapies individually tailored to each patient. Drawing on long clinical experience in the Dong-Incheon area, we treat neurological and psychological conditions.
