An to the Five Elements and Organ Meridians

The concept of five elements and organ meridians originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is a comprehensive system of healing that has been practiced for thousands of years, emphasizing the balance and harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. According to TCM, the human body is composed of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element corresponds to a specific organ meridian, a pathway through which energy (qi) flows throughout the body.
