The five elements in this conceptual system are constantly moving and changing, each becoming prominent at different points in the natural cycle and affecting an individual's health.
To interpret and explain physiology and pathology, five elements of nature are used. Each part corresponds to a particular physical organ, color, flavor, sense, emotion, and weather.
Five elements theory (also known as five phases theory) is a concept that's been used for at least 2400 years in traditional Chinese medicine to explain how we're influenced by the world and weather around us and how the organs of the body interact with each other.
Let's look at what each of the following elements signifies for your personality, health, nutrition, and lifestyle:
· Wood
· Fire
· Earth
· Metal
· Water
Are You Feeling Unbalanced, Low On Energy, Or Simply Out of Sorts?
If so, don't panic because understanding the elemental effects at work will help you identify the types of imbalances to look out for. It walks you through easy measures you may take to restore harmony and balance in your life.
Wood Rules the Liver and Gallbladder in Traditional Chinese Medicine
According to the Chinese five-element theory, the wood element governs the liver organ-meridian system and that of its companion organ, the gallbladder. The liver aids digestion and cleansing serves as a blood storage facility.
So, when it comes to maintaining your health and well-being, your primary objective should be to take care of your liver.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fire Governs The Heart
The Fire element oversees the organ-meridian system of the heart. In addition to controlling the circulatory system, the heart organ-meridian system keeps the nervous system operating correctly. The heart organ-meridian system is also thought to be the spirit's resting place or 'home.'
As a fire spirit, your primary purpose is to nourish your nervous system. Start by actively managing your stress levels with meditation and relaxation exercises. Red foods are traditionally considered beneficial to a fire constitution, so eat tomatoes, capsicum, raspberries, and strawberries which can help you in keeping yourself healthy.
Earth Rules The Stomach And Spleen In Traditional Chinese Medicine
Earth is thought to govern the stomach and spleen organ-meridian systems. TCM says that when you're worried, taking care of your earth element, stomach, and spleen is vital to ensure proper digestion.
Move and meditate to clear your mind. Walking is an excellent exercise because it is both energizing and perfect for relieving your mind. Give yourself bonus points for walking barefoot on the grass or at the beach to reconnect with nature.
Metal Rules The Lungs In The Traditional Chinese Medicine
The nose, throat, skin, and all aspects of breathing are included in this organ-meridian and the lungs.
Deep breathing techniques are your best friend in this situation since they help your lungs circulate qi throughout your body. Personal connections are vital for your well-being, so keep an active social life and try to participate in community-based activities.
Water Rules The Kidneys In Traditional Chinese Medicine
Your primary health goal is to protect your kidney system and keep your Jing, which may otherwise deplete as you age. That means prioritizing a healthy lifestyle that includes good food, regular exercise, and time outside in the fresh air.
Make sure you drink plenty of water. You'll feel your best when in or near water, so swimming in the ocean or even walking on the beach are excellent exercise options for you to incorporate into your wellness routine.
