Читать книгу Healing Your Emotions: Discover your five element type and change your life - Angela Hicks - Страница 8

Chinese medicine teaches that there are three main areas which cause disease. These are called External, Internal and Miscellaneous causes.³ The External causes relate to how the climate can make us ill.
