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:

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
