金弱遇火炎之地、血疾无疑。
土虚逢木旺之乡、脾伤定论。
筋疼骨痛、盖因木被金伤。
眼昏目暗、必是火遭水克。
下元冷疾、必是水值火伤。

In term of body parts, Metal represents our bones or bone marrow.
Before proceed further on the possible dieases pertaining to metal, let us find out more about the functions of Bone Marrow.
Bone marrow is the flexible tissue found in the hollow interior of bones. In adults, marrow in large bones produces new blood cells. It constitutes 4% of total body weight, i.e. approximately 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs.) in adults.
There are two types of bone marrow: red marrow (consisting mainly of hematopoietic tissue) and yellow marrow (consisting mainly of fat cells). Red blood cells, platelets and most white blood cells arise in red marrow. Both types of bone marrow contain numerous blood vessels and capillaries.
Diseases involving the bone marrow
The normal bone marrow architecture can be displaced by malignancies or infections such as tuberculosis, leading to a decrease in the production of blood cells and blood platelets. In addition, cancers of the hematologic progenitor cells in the bone marrow can arise; these are the leukemias.
When the fire is being too strong, it would bring harm to the energy of metal (namely, bone marrow). This may give rise to metal related illnesses or diseases, such as cancer.
If you are the metal person, strong fire (i.e. Authority Deities) in the chart symbolizes work pressure. Do remember to relex, eat healthy and take up regular exercises.
Remember = Preventive is definitely better than Corrective
