Amatsu Medicine and the Godai When translated, Amatsu literally means "To restore balance naturally" The Godai - The five factors for health and harmony, are important in Amatsu. According to the Godai, health can only exist when there is a balance between the five factors that make up our person. Physical -Muscles, bones and all the rest of our physical bodyEmotional - Our mind and mental processesNutritional - Intake and Excretion of our foodEnergy - How our Qi/Ki/Chi, our Life Force, flowsEnvironmental - Our interaction within everything around us
In Amatsu medicine it is important to balance the Godai of a person, rather than focus on symptoms, which are a manifestation of our loss in balance. For example, any physical injury places greater demands on our nutrition of the person. A change in temperature makes our muscles more or less relaxed. Continual noise increases our stress levels.
