Five Elements Theory

Essentially, Five Element theory is used to help explain the cause of particular diseases, and to associate signs or symptoms to particular organs and afflictions.

Respiratory Disease

Asthma is a disease affecting the airways that carry air to and from your lungs. People who suffer from this chronic condition (long-lasting or recurrent) are said to be asthmatic.

Functional disorders are those in which the bowel looks normal but doesn’t work properly. They are the most common problems affecting the colon and rectum, and include constipation and irritable bowel.

Endocrine Disease

The medical name for stones in the kidneys is nephrolithiasis. If the stones cause severe pain, this is known as renal colic.

Surgical Diseases

Protect the injured part from further injury. The site of the injury will determine how best to protect it.

Cancer

Bowen’s disease looks like a red, scaly patch on the skin. It is caused by the abnormal growth of cells called keratinocytes in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).

Ear Nose Throat Disease

Pharyngitis is a sore throat caused by inflammation of the back of the throat. Your throat may be scratchy and swallowing can be painful. Usually a sore throat is the sign of another illness, such as a cold or the flu.
