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 Earth, now it’s time to look deeper at Metal.
It is time to let go of who we think we are and become our true selves. Fall is a season of change and encapsulates this element well. Metal connects all of the other elements and shows us that within ourselves already lies the person we are trying to become. When this element is in balance, we are able to take full breathes easily, trusting nature and our bodies to do what they were designed to do. Likewise, we trust the processes of everyday life and grief, learning from them as we go. We understand that it is all part of life’s nature cycle. When unbalanced, we feel grief or an inability to let go. This can show itself emotionally in feelings of depression, sadness, pessimism, cynicism, or of being stuck in one place. Physically, there may be a difficulty in taking complete breathes, asthma, tension in the upper spine, digestive issues, and sinus issues.
To help you find balance, we’ve specially designed Metal Element Roll-On with Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Oregano, Cypress and Cinnamon essential oils. When using in acupuncture, apply along the Lung-Large Intestine acupoints.
