Traditional Chinese Medicine explores the connection between the body, mind, and spirit and the five natural elements. In this blog series, we’ll explore each of the elements individually and how to best use the specially crafted Fabulous Frannie essential oil blend to help balance it. Last month we discussed Fire, now it’s time to look deeper at Earth.
Earth is what connects us. It is the ground we walk on. The soil we feel with every movement we make. This is represented by the late summer. Earth exemplifies a sense of contentment and being present and grounded in the moment. It is seen as the foundation of the other four elements. When in alignment, we demonstrate our loving and supportive nature and are able to be calm in difficult situations. If this element is out of balance, there is worry, overthinking, clinginess, being overly reliant or avoidant of routine, and feeling scattered or out-of-sorts. Some physical manifestations of imbalance may be brain fog, changes in appetite (such as overeating or loss of appetite), bloating, heavy menstruation, poor energy and gastric problems.
To help you gain and retain balance of this element, we’ve specially formulated Earth Element Blend Roll-On with Juniper, Tangerine, Spearmint, Fennel and Ginger essential oils. This oil can be used in meditation, acupuncture or throughout the day. When used in acupuncture, apply along the Spleen-Stomach acupoints.
