Assisting Metal to Level Wood
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
In the Five Elements, Metal controls Wood. When Liver Fire (Wood) is excessive, one can suppress Liver Qi by descending Lung Qi (Metal).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
High-pressure suppression. When Liver Qi rebels upward (anger/hypertension), the Liver is like a wildly growing tree. At this time, use Lung Qi (the axe/Metal) to prune it. Breathing techniques (Lung) can calm anger (Liver), which is the principle.
