Psychosomatics and Health Impact

The Wood element represents the energy of awakening, growth, and expansion. Like a sprouting spring shoot, it possesses immense penetrative power. Wood-dominant individuals are natural visionaries, pioneers, and planners. In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Wood rules the Liver and Gallbladder, organs responsible for the smooth flow of energy and blood, as well as decision-making capabilities. Imbalance leads to psychosomatic physical issues such as migraines, high blood pressure, stiff neck, and explosive anger.
