Weak pylorus can lead to bloating and anxiety due to impaired gastric emptying, which causes food to remain in the stomach longer than normal. This can result in feelings of fullness, discomfort, and pressure in the abdomen, triggering anxiety as the body reacts to these sensations. Additionally, hormonal and neural pathways involved in digestion may also influence mood and anxiety levels.
Bloated after meals? Unexplained anxiety about the future? Your pylorus, the stomach's gatekeeper, may be struggling. In TCM, worry weakens digestion, creating a vicious cycle of gut pain and emotional stress.
