In Traditional Chinese Medicine, health is the balance of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element has its own qualities in your body. Metal is associated with the lungs and large intestines, and its characteristics are determination, precision, and organization. The “metal element” herbs in Conco® help balance your body with a combination of “warming” (cleansing, Yang energy) and “cooling” (nourishing, Yin energy) herbs.

 In Traditional Chinese Medicine, when your “metal element” is in balance, you may feel like you can do anything. Conversely, “metal imbalance” can negatively affect your respiratory, digestive, and skin health while adversely affecting your mood, causing grief or sadness.
