Title: Zang organ 5 elements restriction

Hi

I'm enjoying the concise and informative style of Course A,.

are you able to complete the cycle of the following 5 element restriction examples for me ... an example of how fire restricts metal?

The restriction of the five elements can be used to explain the inter-restraining relations between the five Zang organs. For example, the lung (metal) purifies and descends so as to restrain the exuberance of the liver (wood), which is known as metal restricting wood. The liver (wood) that functions well smoothes and regulates the stagnation of the spleen (earth) Qi, which is called as wood restricting earth. The function of the spleen (earth) plays in transforming nutrients and promoting water metabolism and may prevent the overflow of the water of the kidney (water), which is referred to as earth restricting water. The ascending of the kidney (water) can prevent the heart (fire) from hyperactivity, which is understood as water restricting fire.

thanks,
Mark.

Dear Mark,
You are welcome to log in this forum!

Ok, let's discuss your question.

Let's think about it, if the lung breathes too fast, what will happen?

Please tell me your opinion.
