    From the Health Perspective

    In Tibetan health perspectives, the element Wood is associated with the wind direction. Wood is particularly connected to the intern element, which governs nerves and muscles. It is also linked to the Zang-fu organs, where Wood is paired with the Liver and Gallbladder, and is associated with the function of thermoregulation, metabolism, and liver function through the concept of Tree-pa, which is characterized by heat. In pulse diagnosis, the Wood element corresponds to the springtime season, and the pulse is described as thin and tight during this period.

    The Wood element is also connected to the broader system of five elements used in Tibetan medicine, where it is considered equivalent to air (wind) in the Indian-derived elemental system, reflecting a dual use of both Chinese and Indian elemental frameworks. This element plays a role in maintaining balance, as disturbances in the elements are believed to lead to diseases and suffering.
