 The Wood constitution
is symbolized by a tree because it not only yields to the wind, but is
strong, durable, and flexible. A healthy tree possesses a well-developed
root system; a healthy person is well-grounded in his personality; strong,
but also flexible.
The Chinese
associate decision-making and the abilities of planning and judgment with
the digestive system. The body part or organ associated with the Wood
constitution is the liver and gall bladder. Anger and resentment are said
to damage the liver and gall bladder.
Conditions
traditionally known to arise from Wood imbalances include hypoglycemic
syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, structural weakness, allergies, Raynaud's
syndrome, and depression.
