In the Chinese system, the Metal element is associated with the lungs and large intestine, and the autumn season. This is a good time to work at keeping these organs strong and healthy.

Hello friends, welcome to autumn.  This is the season of the harvest, the fruition of all the growth of spring and summer. This is true for us as well, as we receive the benefits from our work and projects, our relationships, and our health from all the energy we put into these areas during the last six months. The seeds we have sown, now shall we reap.

Shih Fu Eileen writes, "Embody the awareness of the human relationship to the presence of the five elements and the role they play within the four seasons and the seasonal transitions. Learn and experience the tools to influence energetic components of the nature of our beings and moving toward maintaining equilibrium between our internal and external environment. In essence, here we develop a mutually beneficial relationship between our inner and our outer world (surrounding environment)."

From the Haas Health Online website: "A classic in integrated medicine, now in its 30th printing! This book demonstrates a balanced blend of Eastern and Western medicines, nutrition, herbology, exercise and a wealth of other health topics. It makes this book one the strongest texts on health and preventive medicine ever written, with a clear and concise introduction to the applications of traditional Chinese medical theory and the five elements."
