The Five Elements: Wood

The Wood Element relates to how one can grow and adapt to change.

The emotion associated with Wood is anger. Normally, anger can be used to create change in life or society. When the Wood Element is imbalanced, anger is repressed, leading to frustration and disharmonious qi movements.

The term "resonance" is used to refer to something sharing the same nature of qi as an Element. Manifestations of resonances can allow practitioners to diagnose imbalances. The Liver/Gallbladder System is also associated with the Wood element. The Wood Element resonates with the Liver and Gallbladder Organ systems.
