The Four Great Elements are qualities used to describe physical things; they are not a primitive chemistry objects like atom. They are energy form the physical elements. These elements can also be used to categories parts of the body and bodies of all beings.
1. element of matter - solidity, heaviness are characteristics of matter element. Therefore, hair bones flesh like solid elements in our body made by most of the matter element.
2. element of water - liquidity and cohesion are characteristics of water element. Therefore, blood sputum sweat like liquid elements in our body made by most of the water element.
3. element of heat - Temperature is the characteristics of heat element. Fire has most of the heat element.
4. element of gas - Rapid movement is the characteristic of gas element. Inhale exhale gas has most of the heat element.
Every object has these four elements. Some elements are significant in some objects but others are less. Then that object have the characteristics of that particular element.The Earth elements of the body are the organs, tissues, and bones. The Water elements are the bodily fluids − blood, urine, semen. The heat element is the body's temperature. The Air (or Wind) elements are, for example, the air in the lungs, stomach and bowel gasses.
When seeing the body as the four elements, you may see it as essentially the same the elements in the physical world. For example, the bones are likened to any solid thing, like a stone. The body is not the self, or mine. It is the same as the other physical objects. So the organs are the same, physically, as clay or any other example of the earth element.
