5 Element Nutrition
Based on the ancient Asian knowledge of feeding your body’s constitutional needs. Physiologically what every organ and tissue system needs in nutrients are directly connected nature’s main five elements. These elements are known as fire, earth, metal, water and wood. Each of these elements are directly connected to the energetics of the human body specifically to organ systems.
Fire for example is connected to the heart and small intestine, Earth is connected to the stomach and spleen, Metal is connected to the lung and large intestine, Water is connected to the kidney and bladder and finally Wood is connected to the liver and gall bladder organ systems.
