Michael Tierra O.M.D., L.A.C. and Lesley Tierra L.A.C. The Five Stagnations are Qi, Blood, Fluid, Cold and Food. These are determined according to their location in the Triple Warmer or Three Jiao's. Even though the triple warmer in TCM has its own meridian and is regarded as an organ function, it refers to the coordination of several organs and physiological functions with each other. According to TCM theory, any substance that is in excess or not moving is potentially toxic and injurious. Abstinence of light fasting from food for many types of Stagnations as well as appropriate exercise, must always be considered an option.

Les wuxing (chinois simplifié : 五行 ; pinyin : wǔxíng) ou Cinq Phases[1] — bois, feu, terre, métal et eau — constituent un concept important de la cosmologie chinoise traditionnelle. Le terme xíng (行, marche), habituellement traduit par « élément », évoque plutôt un mode d’action qu’une matière ; il est d’ailleurs remplacé par le terme de (德, vertu ou effet) chez Zou Yan.
