22*「北方、寒を生ず 」

22北方、寒を生ず (1)

22*「北方、寒を生ず 」−『素問』陰陽應象大論篇第五。

 最後は北方です。陰の極まりを表す方位となります。陰が極まって寒くなり、そして寒さは水を生じます。味は鹹(読み:かん、意味:しおからい)、五蔵は腎、色は黒。冬に限らず体が冷えると感じる人は、下半身が冷えていることが多く、ラーメンやポテトチップスなどの塩味のきつい味を好みます。

22* “The north produces cold”– “Somon” Yin-Yang-Osho-Taron Volume 5.

The last direction is the north. It is the direction that represents the extreme of yin. When yin reaches its extreme, it becomes cold, and cold produces water. Its taste is salty , its five organs are the kidneys, and its color is black. People who feel cold, not just in winter, often have cold lower bodies, and they prefer salty foods such as ramen and potato chips.
