What does music have to do with the health aspect of 5 Elements?
According to the five basic tones, one can detect different influences in the human body. For instance, Keng-based melodies are classified as noble, Earth-related, and affect the spleen. Often listening to such music makes one tolerant and kind.
Chueh-based music heralds the arrival of spring and awakens all life anew. This kind of music affects the liver. Listening to it makes one kindhearted and conciliatory.
