You have seen the crystal color meanings according to Edgar Cayce's psychic reading. Now, learn about the 5 elements Chinese crystal meaning.

According to the study of 5 elements, the whole universe is divided into 5 elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. And everything in the universe thus has these elements too. And us humans are a small universe within the big universe. We too, then, have these 5 elements. You will see how the organs in our body belong to these elements.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) system employs this theory in treating patients. For example, by improving the health of the lungs (metal element), a person's skin condition (also metal element) will improve. Sinus, a common illness today can be treated successfully when the condition of the lungs are improved. Sinus is caused by too much mucus forming in the lungs. The outlet for the sinus is through nose (also belonging to metal element). And we can improved the health of our lungs by herbal soup or food that strengthen the lungs.

Wood element governs these parts in our body - eyes, liver and gall bladder. In Spring time, wood element energy is in abundance and strong in the environment.

A person weak in wood element will suffer eyes, liver and gall bladder related illnesses. A person who gets angry (anger is associated with wood element) easily shows that he is having weakness in the liver or gall bladder. On the other hand, a person who always gets angry will cause his liver to become weak. In severe cases, he may suffers liver cancer.

Too much consumption of sour (flavor of wood element) food can also deteriorates the above body parts.

Since green color belongs to wood element, in Chinese crystal meaning, we can use a malachite crystal to enhance this element. Other green color crystals are emerald or peridot. These crystals can help to calm a person down.

Fire element governs these parts in our body - tongue, small intestines and heart. Summer is the season of fire element.

Weakness in fire element will cause illness in the tongue, small intestines and heart. A person's tongue who has a thick whitish coat may suggests a weak small intestines. This is caused by eating a lot of unhealthy processed food. Too much bitter (the flavor of fire element) food is also a cause.

Red is the color of fire element. Wearing red color crystals such as ruby, carnelian and sardonyx can enhance a person's mood. A person will feel happier. Happiness is the emotion associated to fire element.

Earth element governs these parts in our body - muscles, mouth, stomach and spleen.

Yellow is the color associated with earth element. Therefore, according to Chinese crystal meaning, yellow crystals such as citrine and amber can improve health in stomach and spleen. It can also help our focus and sharpen our thought. The mind's thought is related to earth element.

Metal element governs the skin, nose, big intestines and lungs. Fall season (autumn) is the season of metal element.

Weakness in the body's metal element will affect the above body parts. A person will also feel sad or depress when the big intestines and lungs are not in good order. Overeating of fried food (dryness is related to metal element) may hurt those body parts. It is not an accident that people who suffer severe acne problem (skin - metal element) is caused by constant dehydration of the body. Consuming more water in a day will improve the skin condition.

White is the color associated with metal element. Thus we can use clear quartz crystal to improve the above body parts. Also to cure a depressive mood.

Water element governs the bones, ears and kidneys in our body.

A person weak in the water element may suffer kidney problems, bones and ears related illnesses. Too much salty (the flavor of water element) food can cause weakness in the above body parts.

In Chinese crystal meaning, obsidian stones or any black color crystal can be worn if we want to improve the above body parts. These crystals can also reduce our worries (worry and fear are the feelings associated with water element).

A person having a weak heart (fire element) condition may be caused by two reasons. We have to understand how these 5 elements relate to each other.

1. Element A enhancing another element B can make element A weaker and element B stronger. From the weak heart example, a person may be already weak in the earth element. And the fire element is 'borrowed' in the body to help the earth element body parts such as stomach. This slowly weakens the fire element body part - the heart. This is the 5 elements productive cycle.
2. Element C is too strong in the body and needs to be balanced out. Thus it flows out to harm another element A. Again, using the weak heart example. The person may be having a strong water element in the body. (Our body, according to our date and time of birth, has a certain strong element or a weak element.) The strong water element needs to be balanced out. It therefore flows over to destroy the fire element. This causes the heart to be weak. This is the 5 elements destructive cycle.
