From the Health Perspective
Water governs fluidity and cohesion: blood, body fluids, the tongue and the sense of taste. It plays a role in digestion, nutrient transport and waste elimination, as food is broken down and nutrients are carried through the bloodstream.
Water also supports the body’s natural detoxification and is associated with tears, sweat and other protective fluids. A well-balanced Water element supports physical and mental health; an imbalance can contribute to conditions such as edema or dehydration, and in emotional terms is linked to laziness, dullness or a lack of clarity.
