The Four Elements in Relation with our Biodent Practice
In classical Greek science and medicine, the Four Elements are the basic constituents of all matter and significantly includes- The Human Body. The elemental composition of every substance in our body determines it’s particular nature and attributes, properties and actions thus providing the primary components of the body as a whole.
Each of the constituent parts of the human body is composed of the Four Elements, in varying proportions. The movement, of these Four Elements, is continually taking place, so that change is a continuous process within the human body. This change can either be cyclical, as in the cycle of intake and elimination of food, or progressive like the growth of a cancerous tumor.
The Four Elements are primarily & magnificently found in different parts of the human body in the following ways: Fire, Air, Water and Earth.
Simplicity
Back to basic yet powerful, non-invasive, non-corrosive, immune-friendly biological dentistry.
Wellness
Body. Mind. Spirit. Biocompatibility. Tooth and body connection.
Mindfullness
Listening to your body. Living the moment. Breathing and relaxation.
Willingness
Cultivate the truth. Diminish ignorance. Unbiased research. Root cause.
Fire
The digestive enzymes and secretions, and all enzymes. Yellow Bile. The Innate Heat of Metabolism and the Digestive Fire. The heart, liver and stomach. All active, muscular heat generating tissues: the muscles. The Fire of spirit and intelligence, and the sparkle in the eyes.
In the aspects of Human Physiology, fire is attributed to tendency (rising), bodily system (liver), excretion (sweat and tears), sense (smell), bodily function (digestion, voluntary), mentality (emotional) and mental state (weeping and anger).
Air
The lungs, chest and thorax. All the cavities and open spaces, which allow for movements and function. The blood and the vital force it carries. The arteries, which pulsate with air. or pneuma. All hollow or porous tissues and structures, which are lightened, rarefied and refined by Air: the bones, connective tissues and membranous structures. Points of exchange and contact: the lungs, kidneys and digestive mucosa.
In the aspects of Human Physiology, air is attributed to tendency (to and fro), bodily system (circulation), excretion (saliva), sense (hearing), bodily function (respiration), mentality (cheerful) and mental state (humor).
Water
All the vital fluids of the body, especially the clear fluids: phlegm, mucus, plasma, lymph and serous & interstitial fluids. The kidney, bladder and urinary tract, which pass superfluous water from the body. The mucosa of the digestive, respiratory and genitourinary tracts. The lymphatic system. The brain and spinal cord.
In the aspects of human Physiology, water is attributed to tendency (drooping), bodily system (muscles), excretion (urine), sense ( taste), bodily function (nutrition), mentality (phlegmatic) and mental state (submission and affection).
Earth
All the dense, solid, deeper, more permanent parts of the body. Bones, joints and structural connective tissue. Nerves, bone marrow and nervous tissue. Teeth and gums. The hair and nails.
In the aspects of Human Physiology, earth is attributed to tendency (spreading), bodily function (skeleton), excretion (feces), sense (touch), bodily function (form), mentality (torpid), and mental state (obstinacy and fearfulness).
