One strong quality of the Wood element is leadership. It is the leader within us, that can take charge and determine a plan of action. The wood is one that seeks always to grow and expand. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality, and fecundity.
Wood type people are often aggressive or assertive, direct, and can have a strong temper and a lot of drive. They are usually outgoing and socially conscious and can be insensitive. The Wood element is associated with negative feelings of anger, and positive feelings of patience and altruism.
The element of Wood relates to the person’s benevolence and gratitude.

Those who lack kindness or compassion, and who are unable to make progress in life, invariably have poor quality Wood elements.
Wood & Health
Liver and gallbladder organs are connected with the element of wood. Thus, when the liver is out of balance, the person can be very resistant and become a ‘stick in the mud’ type of person, who finds it hard to uproot themselves and adapt to changes of any kind. Thus they can be inflexible, irritable and nervous and even become angry.
When someone has liver blockages and or weakness, they can get eye problems, nail problems, sinew, and ligament problems, as well as liver diseases like Jaundice, twitching, and sharp headaches. Issues with their bodies are often primarily on the right side, and problems and pains will move around the body like the wind moves, and they will generally be experiencing a lack of flow and smoothness in their lives.
Anger and frustration accompany the Wood type whenever they feel blocked or their plans thwarted. If the liver Qi becomes stagnant it may manifest as pain or distention in the flanks, swollen or painful breasts and genitals, or lower-abdominal pain. If the liver loses its harmonious movement it can move in the wrong direction and invade the Stomach and Spleen. This may be accompanied by such digestive problems as abdominal pain, nausea, belching, intestinal rumbling and diarrhea.
Bile is necessary for the digestion of foods and fluids. If the liver cannot perform its spreading and flowing activities, bile production may be disrupted, causing symptoms such as jaundice, bitter taste in the mouth, vomiting of yellow fluid, distention of the flanks, or loss of appetite.
