The 5 elements : Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
Another important energy concept is that of influences. This screen, called "influences", visualizes the relationships between the five elements, as assessed by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These relationships can be of creation, destruction, insult or overheating.
For example, wood can influence metal by exerting pressure on it, while water can weigh down fire. On the other hand, wood helps to create fire. These relationships are deduced according to TCM rules and meridian evaluation.
The 5 elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are :
- Wood: associated with the liver and gallbladder.
- Fire: associated with the heart and small intestine.
- Earth: associated with the spleen and stomach.
- Metal: associated with the lungs and large intestine.
- Water: associated with kidneys and bladder.
The main relationships between these elements are :
- Generation cycle (Sheng): Wood > Fire > Earth > Metal > Water > Wood.
- Control cycle (Ke): Wood > Earth > Water > Fire > Metal > Wood.
These cycles ensure balance and harmony in the body.
