Description

Richard Utt, the ideator of Applied Physiology developed an expansion of the 5 Elements Theory that encompasses also the energy of Extraordinary Meridians after a discussion with a Tibetan Monk. The elements added to the classical 5 Elements Theory are:

Ministerial Fire: TH (Triple Heater Channel - Shou Shao Yang) and PC (Pericardium Channel - Shou Jue Yin) meridians;
Air: GV (Governing Vessel - Du Mai) and CV (Conception Vessel - Ren Mai), that are the 2 extraordinary vessels that do not depend on the 12 main meridians.

HT (Heart Channel - Shou Shao Yin) and SI (Small Intestine Channel - Shou Tai Yang) meridians become Imperial Fire. This theory is one of the basic concepts of Applied Physiology.
