Sotai Therapies adopts the incredible meridian-based healing arts of Japan and China along with the Five Element theory – Elements relating to the seasons and then corresponding to the relevant organs.
- The Five Element theory is a practical system which demonstrates how we engage with the cycles of nature. Each element corresponds to the qualities and energy of that particular season.
- There is also a relationship between these seasons, with the elements and how they relate to the organs in our body.
- The energy is unique in each season and all of the Five Elements interact with and depend upon each other.
The elements and their related season and organs are:
| ELEMENT | SEASON | ORGAN |
|---|---|---|
| FIRE | Summer | Heart and Small Intestine (Heart Protector and triple heater) |
| EARTH | Late Summer | Spleen And Stomach |
| METAL | Autumn | Lungs and Large Intestine |
| WATER | Winter | Kidneys and Bladder |
| WOOD | Spring | Liver and Gall Bladder |
