Harmonising your Wu Xing elements
Centuries ago, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine identified the 5 Wu Xing elements whose harmony was essential for one's physical and emotional wellbeing.
Metal governs our lungs, large intestine, skin, hair and sense of smell. The emotions it conveys tend to be feelings of sadness and grief. You may prefer nights, autumn, dryness, pungent flavours and the colour white.
Wood governs our liver, gall bladder, tendons, ligaments and sense of sight. The emotions it conveys tend to be feelings of depression and anger. You may prefer mornings, spring, wind, sour flavours and the colour green.
Water governs our kidneys, bladder, bones, scalp and sense of hearing. The emotions it conveys tend to be feelings of anxiety and fear. You may prefer afternoons, winter, cold, salty flavours and the colour black.
Fire governs our heart, small intestine, tongue, bloodvessels and speech. The emotions it conveys tend to be feelings of joy and over excitement with possible mood swings. You may prefer mid-days, summer, heat, bitter flavours and the colour red.
Earth governs our spleen, stomach, muscles, mouth, lips and sense of taste. The emotions it conveys tend to be worry and over analysis. You may prefer mornings, late summer, damp, sweet flavours and the colour yellow.

My journey to TCM started in the 90s. Over 8 years' studies in different disciplines: Internal Medicine, Gynecology, Dermatology and Acupuncture had been a fascinating and flabbergasting experience. Chinese medicine is no longer mysterious and peculiar to me. The holistic philosophy of TCM : "Know Heaven above, know Earth below, know Humanity in the middle" treasuring the inter-relationship of nature, human and society. This is what people in modern world are neglecting.
Even though the network of Chinese medicine has just begun and the western medical healthcare is still a priority to the general public, I have made my mission in life to go for this ancient medical profession in Hong Kong.
My role however, is not just a doctor, but also an innovator and educator to foster the development of TCM in modern world.
Curing and preventive issues share equal weight in my work.
Blending TCM with western holistic programs is my trend.
My passion is a dynamic TCM. I want to keep the essence of TCM, with the desire to make it contemporary, diverse, accessible and flexible. My goal is to make TCM an enjoyment and a way to improve people's lives, rather than just merely a method of healing illnesses.
My commitment to TCM is not limited to people in Hong Kong, but to people worldwide.
