Outline

Text

Different studies describe an affection and a long-lasting impairment of the essential organ functions after a COVID-19 disease. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the connection between organ damage and mental disorders is considered fundamental. A relationship between fatigue and liver damage, for example, has also been described outside TCM. Thus, it may be that some of the long-lasting symptoms are due to organ damage of the lungs, liver, kidney and heart. In Eurythmy Therapy (EYT) the respective symptom is treated with regard to the individual constitution of the patient: The organ connection is always taken into consideration when choosing a therapy concept e.g. the kidney in anxiety. This paper shows how the therapy concept influences processes and experiences in the treatment of Long Covid patients.
