Healing the lungs

When in harmony, metal energy fills you with forgiveness, courage, stability, generosity and righteousness. Each breath you take is even, full and measured, fostering health, clarity and grounding in body and mind.

The lungs are the primary organ of the Metal Element. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the lungs govern the large intestine, skin, nose and sinuses.

If you have problems with your large intestine, skin, nose or sinuses, follow the recommendations for the lungs closely.
