Traditional Chinese Medicine CM regards the human body’s internal universe as a whole composed of the five elements —Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

The spleen functions to transport and transform so it pertains to earth, The lung functions to descend, so it pertains to metal. The kidney functions to store essence so it pertains to water. The operating principles of the five elements in the internal universe are identical to those in the external universe.
