Hanahaki: Is it real or just a fictional disease

 

Hanahaki: is it real or a fake disease

Hanahaki Disease in which people throw up flower petals when they experience heartache (strong feeling of sadness)  in one-sided love, still remains a question, Is this a fictional disease or a truth?

Hanahaki  is an illness in which the victim  hurls up flower petals, born from unrequited love, where the patient’s throat will fill up with flower, they will then proceed to throw, and cough up the petals, (sometimes even the flowers). It is another kind of lovesickness disease recognized by medieval  physicians, where the length of the disease varies with each person. But on an average, it will last up to 2 or 3 months, but sometimes it only lasts a couple weeks.

The HanaHaki Disease is common in stories from eastern Asia. They’re especially well-known by readers of Japanese graphic novels, called Manga. A character catches HanaHaki Disease when they experience unrequited love. That means they have a crush on a person who doesn’t like them back.

Symptoms,

The main symptoms of the Hanahaki disease include strong pain, a flower bloom in the lungs and heart, and finally throwing up. However, among East Asian creators and fans (particularly, Koreans and Japanese), the perception of flowers regurgitating because of unrequited love dates way before the release of Hanahaki Otome. Its true origin is currently not known.

Is Hanahaki real?,

As we all know, the human system can’t grow flowers. This fictitious disease comes when the person you love the most doesn’t love you back. It is often seen in characters in fan fiction. Someone having Hanahaki disease usually has a pharynx that fills up with flowers, and they spit out flower petals.

The patient is distressed because their dearest hasn’t returned their feelings. The Hanahaki Disease takes place in the lungs; the victim coughs up bloody flower petals. The disease is cured if the person’s love is returned.

Basically, Hanahaki disease originated because of a Japanese comic Or manga, Hanahaki Otome or The girl who spit flower by Naoko Matsuda.

It first appeared back in 2009 and became popular ever since.

Hanahaki is a combination of two Japanese words Hana, which means flower and Hakimasu, which means to throw up. So, the word Hanahaki literally means The girl who threw up the flower.

In this entirely fictional Hanahaki Disease, the patient who suffers from this disease, which develops because of one-sided love, slowly starts throwing up flowers.

Is Hanahaki curable?

There are two cures for HanaHaki Disease. First, the illness goes away if the other person changes their mind. If they have romantic feelings for the afflicted person, then that person gets better. The second cure is surgery. Fictional doctors can remove the flowers. This also takes away the romantic feelings the character felt.

In another scenario, if the person doesn't love back the person affected, then this disease only grows stronger and stronger which ultimately leads to the death of a person concerned.

Real people can’t catch HanaHaki Disease. But they can experience heartache. And heartache often causes physical symptoms, like nausea and low energy. It may not be HanaHaki Disease, but it certainly doesn’t feel good. What can real people do to feel better?

The best cure people can do is learn to regulate their emotions. Everyone will go through heartache, anger, or sadness in their lives. It helps to be able to manage those difficult emotions. This can make a huge difference and help you feel better sooner.

There is no specific kind of flower, a Hanahaki victim spit, it’ll either be the crushes favourite type of flower, or their favourite colour.

Many authors and artists use cherry blossoms as the flowers whose petals the victim coughs up. For example, flowers are used to represent the victim’s personality or affections, or even those of the beloved one. Flower symbolism has also gained its popularity in Western fandom.

Is Hanahaki found in India,                 

Though, Hanahaki was only popularized in East Asian cultures, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, before finding its way into the Western world. In fandom, Hanahaki is often used in relation to B. L. pairings. The Hanahaki disease is not exclusive to fandom non-fannish artwork, music videos, songs, poetry, and other creative works around the concept intrigue many people. However, Hanahaki disease is most popular within fandom because of its potential for pining, hurt or comfort, angst, and general romantic tension.

Hanahaki is not only associated with a specific region or a country, anyone who believes in fantasies and could feel the pain of love or broken heart could be affected by Hanahaki.

What if it would be real,

People strongly believe that Hanahaki disease would be the scariest if it were real. After all, it would probably be pretty scary if you suffered from having one-sided love (a crush) on someone to the point where you would begin coughing up flowers, don’t you think?

Here are the things that happen to someone with hanahaki disease in fiction:

-First, flowers will begin to grow in the lungs.

-The victim begins to cough up petals of a flower (of which can happen to be the victim’s favorite flower or color).

-They will feel pain.

-Sometimes, if the victim gets angry, their body might begin shaking.

-When the victim feels nervous, their stomach may knot.

-The victim may also hallucinate, lose their usual appetite, and get a fever.

Not funny at all, but If Hanahaki disease were real, it would be pretty common. After all, lots of people get crushes. Everyone would know the name of the disease, and it wouldn’t be at all a secret. But nobody likes to talk about it. As a result, the victim usually won’t seek out surgery or confess to their crush until the disease is in the final stages or it’s too late. The disease would probably be fatal in a few weeks, or a month or two, but it would vary based on the intensity of the crush.

As time progresses, the symptoms will worsen, and so will the disease. During the last stages, the victim will stop coughing up petals and cough up flowers that are whole. The pain will worsen as well. At this point, there are 3 options to choose from, death, surgery, or hoping that the person who you love will return it to you.
