Functions of Lungs (Metal)
Controls Skin and Hair
Lung nourishes skin and hair by spreading Fluids to skin. Impaired Lung function can result in malnourished body hair and skin. Lungs influence Wei Qi, which circulates in skin.
Opens into the Nose
Nose is the opening of the Lungs. Lungs govern sense of smell.
Houses the Po (Corporeal Soul)
Corporeal soul attached to body. Closely linked to breathing. Directly affected by sadness/grief which constrain its movement and affect breathing.
Lungs Govern Voice
Strength, tone and clarity of voice depend on Lung Qi (in health: like a bell). Weak Lung Qi = low voice.
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
