The Five Elements
Tibetan Medicine is based on the fundamental principle that the body is composed of the five elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind (Air), and Space. Each element has a particular function:
- The Wind Element provides the ability to move and breathe and is essential for respiration, the skin, and the sense of feeling. It is also related to the Dhyani Buddha Amoghasiddhi.
- The Earth Element provides the hard and stable quality involved in the development of the flesh, bone, nose, and the sense of smell. It is also related to the Dhyani Buddha Ratnasambhava.
- The Water Element moisturises and lubricates body tissues involved in the development of blood, the tongue, the sense of taste, and the fluid portion in the body during conception. It is also related to the Dhyani Buddha Akshobhya.
- The Fire Element controls and regulates body temperature, provides maturation of the body tissue and organs, generates heat throughout the body, provides colour of skin, complexion and eyes, and contributes to the growth and development of the body. It is also related to the Dhyani Buddha Amitabha.
- The Space Element provides an empty space or place to allow things to grow, develop, mature, and is involved in movement, pores, the ears, and sound. It is also related to the Dhyani Buddha Vairocana.
When our five elements are in balance, we will have a healthy body, speech and mind. However, when any one of our elements goes out of balance - whether in excess, deficient or unstable, it affects the other elements and results in physical, mental and emotional ailments. Thus, the relationship and balance between the elements of our body is crucial for overall wellness and health.
