#25 - The Five Element Theory with Brigita Slekys

Today I am joined by Brigita Slekys, a Licensed Acupuncturist who has studied Chinese Medicine and likes to use the Five Element Theory when treating her clients. The Five Element Theory is ancient and has been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine. The Five Elements include; FIRE, EARTH, METAL, WATER and WOOD. Each element has it's own specific characteristics and properties - and there are organized relationships between the elements, nature and the body. Brigita goes through each element with us and common attributes of each - allowing us to perhaps recognize which element(s) calls to us and how we might use this understanding to better ourselves.

Key words: 

FIRE; Joy, laughter, redness, burnt smell, heart & small intestine, bitter & cooling foods 

EARTH; yellow, sweet & singing, stomach & spleen, giving, worrisome, phlegm-transforming foods

METAL; white & grey, raspy, lungs & large intestine, grief and/or loss, clean & organized, wet & lubricating foods 

WATER; blue & black, kidneys & bladder, fear of lack, go with the flow, hydrating foods 

WOOD; blue & green, liver & gallbladder, anger & irritability, bile, acidic foods
