In Traditional East Asian Medicine, the world can be viewed from the 5 Phases of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The 5 Phases (Elements) are a representation of the natural forces at work in both the macrocosm and microcosm of our lives. They are part of the whole and in relationship with one another. Each Element corresponds to a season, color, flavor, sound, scent, meridians, and organs. 

Please note that acupoints and organs listed here refer to the Energetic nature of the organ system, rather than the physical structure. These recommendations are not meant to be regarded as medical advice or diagnosis. Always consult your healthcare practitioner for diagnosis and treatment of symptoms you are experiencing. Check with a doctor or herbalist before taking any herbal supplements. All oils mentioned should be diluted in carrier oil before using on the skin, and should not be ingested.
