Healing Powers of the Pancreas: The Connection Between Emotion and Digestion | CGH News
In our latest CGH News episode, we delve into the mystical and physical role of the pancreas—a powerful organ that does much more than regulate blood sugar. In this video, we explore its deep connection to your emotional body, specifically the Solar Plexus Center in Human Design.
The pancreas, often seen simply as a digestive organ, has a much broader influence. Ancient esoteric traditions have long recognized it as a key player in emotional digestion, empathy, and intuition. Through the lens of Human Design, we see the pancreas as an energetic bridge—metabolizing not just food, but also the emotions we experience daily. In this article, we’ll decode the relationship between emotional waves, the pancreas, and how understanding this dynamic can bring balance and clarity to your life.

The Pancreas: Beyond Digestion
We typically think of the pancreas in terms of blood sugar regulation, insulin production, and fat digestion. But there’s another, more subtle role this organ plays that connects to our emotional health.
In many spiritual traditions, the pancreas is seen as an emotional processor. It’s believed to help us “digest” our emotional experiences, much like it metabolizes food. When we’re under stress, emotional imbalance can show up in the body as digestive issues, fatigue, and hormonal disruptions. And where there’s emotional overwhelm, the pancreas may struggle to maintain its natural harmony.
Understanding the deeper role of the pancreas can shift our view from merely treating physical symptoms to addressing the emotional root causes of imbalance. When we align our emotional and physical health, we enable the pancreas to function optimally.
Human Design & the Solar Plexus Center
Through the lens of Human Design, we explore the Solar Plexus Center—an area deeply connected to our emotional awareness. In Human Design, this energy center is the guide to emotional authority. If your Solar Plexus is defined, your emotional wave becomes your inner authority, influencing the decisions you make and how you process the world around you.
The Solar Plexus Center is not just about managing emotions—it’s about allowing emotional clarity to emerge over time. We explore how different emotional waves—Individual, Tribal, and Collective—shape our experiences and influence our health. Emotional turbulence, when left unaddressed, can create blockages that affect our pancreas and overall wellbeing.
Bringing Emotional Waves and Pancreatic Health into Harmony
The interplay between emotional waves and the pancreas is profound. Emotional highs and lows can trigger hormonal shifts, affecting blood sugar levels and digestive processes. Chronic emotional stress may lead to imbalances like insulin resistance or emotional burnout.
By recognizing our emotional state and using practices like journaling, adaptogenic herbs, and somatic movements, we can support the pancreas and help it regain balance. Herbs like cinnamon, gymnema, and licorice root can aid in regulating glucose and reducing stress, while breathwork and grounding exercises can help release emotional tension stored in the body.
Conclusion: Trust Your Design, Trust Your Body
The pancreas is more than just a digestive organ—it’s a gateway between the physical and emotional realms. By understanding its connection to the Solar Plexus and emotional waves, we can begin to live more in alignment with our true selves. This journey requires patience, awareness, and compassion for both our bodies and emotions.
At Cedar Grove Herbs, we believe healing starts with holistic care—addressing the emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of wellness. So whether you're feeling the highs or lows of your emotional wave, remember that your pancreas is listening and supporting your journey to balance and clarity.
