Anxiety disorder is characterized by recurrent panic or widespread and persistent anxiety and nervousness which are not commensurate with reality. It is often accompanied by physical symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, sweating, tension tremor, a dry mouth and flushing or a pale face. Chinese medicine believes that the spirits in five internal organs have an important role in regulating the mind and emotions. The corporeal soul belongs to the theoretical category of the spirits in five internal organs. The physiological functions of the corporeal soul include regulating the individual’s emotions, perceptions, movements and internal organ functions. The normal operation of corporeal soul depends on abundance of kidney essence, plentiful ,qi, in the lungs and unobstructed ,qi, movement. The abnormal function of corporeal soul can cause mental symptoms and physical symptoms of anxiety. The main pathogenesis of anxiety caused by dysfunction of corporeal soul includes stagnation of qi, inadequate kidney essence and insufficient lung qi. Therefore, we can replenish kidney essence, supplement lung ,qi, and regulate the ,qi, movement to regulate the function of corporeal soul and treat anxiety according to syndrome differentiation.
