What are the "5 Elements" of Chinese Medicine —and how do they apply to health?
Apr 18, 2024 Season 1 Episode 66
Nick McGurk & Dr. Ron Dummar

The 5 Elements theory in Chinese Medicine conceptualizes the universe and the human body as interconnected through five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. It is systems biology. The system is that which we observe in nature in the elements and the biology is the application of strategic therapeutic choices as a result of those observations. Each element corresponds to specific organs, seasons, emotions and qualities. Imbalances among these elements are correlated to cause illness, and
restoring balance through acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments promotes health and wellbeing.
