Traditional Chinese Medicine

A P P L I C AT I O N A N D VA L U E F O R P E T S
TCM uses many “clues” to help us figure out the
imbalance(s). Traditional Chinese Medicine describes
5 elements (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire)
and relates them to the body’s organ systems. The
5 elements represent a dynamic, ever changing
relationship of flow. As fire burns wood, it creates more
earth. Earth gives rise to mountains, and combined
with pressure and time creates metal ores. The metals
separate, creating cracks for water to flow. The water
feeds the trees creating more wood to feed the fire, and
so the cycle continues. When there is an imbalance (such
as a flood or wild fires) it affects the other elements.

These elements represent a complex system of checks
