What is Elemental Healing?
5 Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Taoist Philosophy
Put simply, Elemental Healing is what happens when the laws of nature are applied to the human body. The physical body, thinking mind, and spirit are considered in their entirety and within context of the influences they are under.
According to Taoist medicine’s 5 Element Theory, everything in the natural world - including each of us - exists as an expression of the same 5 elements, and that the elements exist in perpetual relationship to one another.
By thoughtfully observing these patterns, tracing symptoms all the way to the root, and staying aware of the impact of these systems have on outcomes, Elemental Healing offers insight into the principles that govern all of existence, and practical tools to apply this understanding to your own life in meaningful and sustainable ways.
