Five Elements (which form human body)


FIVE ELEMENTS

According to Sikhism, human body is made of five elements (Punj Tatt).

These five are: air, water, fire, earth, and ether.

After the death of a human being all these five elements re-join their roots.

According to Islam four elements form human body. They don’t include ether in it.

According to modern science 99% of body is made of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus; and, only 0.85% body is made of potassium, sulphur, sodium, chlorine and magnesium. However all 11 elements are necessary for life.
