 The Metal constitution is important for
our defense. Metal invokes images of substance, structure, and strength.
The Metal constitution provides us with strength to protect ourselves.
This constitution represents the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes (which
line the respiratory system and digestive tract) which act as a shield to
protect our body from harmful invaders.
A breakdown in the Metal constitution
would be associated with weakened immune response, an inability to stand
up and defend oneself, or an inability to express sorrow and grief.
Excessive Metal may lead to defensiveness, rebelliousness, and an
excessive need to assert one's own opinions. The emotions related to the
Metal constitution are sorrow and grief.
Conditions traditionally known to arise
from Metal imbalances include chronic infections of mucous membrane
(sinus, lungs, colon, vaginal), chronic cough or sinus congestion, nausea,
and skin cysts.
