Liver diseases go to one with a green complexion; one should eat sweet food to soften the liver: Rice, beef, dates, leafy vegetables! ... 
Heart diseases: red complexion, see sour food to strengthen the heart with plums, chives, mung or adzuki beans; 
Lung diseases: White complexion, see bitter food to help the liver to disperse: Wheat, lamb, apricots, kernels, garlic, onions; 
Spleen disease: Yellow, sallow complexion, see salty food to dry the dampness: Black beans, soybeans, pork, chestnuts, bean leaves;

The more serious a loss is in adulthood, the more painful a separation is in the present, the greater the parental love must have been in childhood so that a person does not fall into depression! ... (P. Schellenbaum)

Freud writes: "Melancholy (depression) is a deeply painful mood, a loss of interest in the environment (outside world), a loss of the ability to love, an inhibition of all achievement and a reduction in self-esteem." He (the depressed person) does not know, for example, that he has lost his sense of himself with his partner, because he denies himself in merging with the lost person. - The depressed person takes revenge on the original objects by means of self-punishment ... Exposing oneself means exposing the other, self-aggression, hostility towards the other. In this way Freud also explains the mystery of the tendency to suicide ... In grief the world has become poor, in depression it is the ego itself. - The depressed person loses himself to what he has lost. The open wound of depression attracts the foreign and repels what is his own. Because the depressed person has merged with the lost love object, he becomes identical with its loss and loses his own ability to love. His relationship has become nothing; he feels himself to be nothing (nobody). - There is counter-pressure against the supposed external pressure, and he does not let himself go and fall! ... (S. Freud)
