Acupunture works based on 5 pranas.Indian ancient medicine also works based on these 5
pranas.
Are there any discussions about these 5 pranas and its function from Pali tradition?
Are there any discussions as well about medical/medicine from Buddha in Pali tradition?
I am not here nor there.
I am not right nor wrong.
I do not exist neither non-exist.
I am not I nor non-I.
I am not in samsara nor nirvana.
To All Buddhas, I bow down for the teaching of emptiness. Thank You!

Not in terms of the five elements. However, the internal winds are listed as aspects of the the
wind element. MN 62 Mahrhulovda Sutta:
What is the internal air element? Whatever internally, within oneself, that is air, airy,
and clung-to, that is, upward moving winds, downward moving winds, winds in the
stomach, winds in the bowels, winds that course through the limbs, in-breath and outbreath, or whatever else internally, within oneself, that is air, airy, and clung-to: this is
called the internal air element.

I think there are Pli medical texts, but I have no idea about the contents. There are a number
of texts listed in Ven. Nyanatusita's Reference Table of Pli Literature under Anthologies from
the Suttantas and the Commentaries, Paritta, Cosmology, Medicine, and Lexicography.

Thank you. This Sutta indicates that internal energy is mentioned briefly in Pali. However, how
to utilize this wind energy (prana) is not discussed. From of all this energy, Buddha in Pali
tradition seems only elaborate one, which is in-breath and out-breath (anapanasati)
The rest of the energy are mentioned, but how to utilize or practice them is not mentioned.

to connect with what's right and what's good in us."
