Each of the Five Elements in Chinese Medicine has a corresponding organ system. Each of the Elements and their organs are connected very closely with all four of the other Elements. Together, they make up the ecosystem of the body, mind and spirit. These Five Elements are what Zen5’s Chinese Medicine practitioners use to make a diagnosis of our clients. We then use the information to make a treatment plan that helps get the client’s body, mind and spirit back to optimum balance and health. By creating internal balance using the Five Elements, we help to establish harmony in body, mind and spirit.
In Chinese medicine, the Heart is considered to be “The Emperor” of the body’s organ systems. It is an organ that prefers calm, blissful, warm Summer days. It is the primary organ in the Fire Element. Think of it as the organ that would prefer to loll about in a park amongst the trees, without a care in the world: an organ that gets its energy from the Wood Element (associated with the Chinese view of the Liver), and unites with the Earth to provide energy (the Spleen). The Chinese medicine Heart’s emotion is Joy, so laughter and happiness nourish the Heart and keep the body’s Fire healthy.
