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 Water, now it’s time to look deeper at Wood.
We’ve been through the winter, now it’s time for the hope that comes with the growth and fresh starts that spring bring. The element of Wood represents the duality of being both flexible and our desire for order and control. When we’re in balance, we’re confident and listen to our intuition, moving through the world in a way that feels relaxed and natural. On the other hand, when out of alignment, we can be angry, resentful, agitated, indecisive and controlling. Our lives can feel both overly ordered or chaotic. Unsurprisingly, this can manifest physically in pain in our head, neck, shoulders and muscles, as well as increased menstrual discomfort.
To help you find a state of being where you feel more patient and compassionate, we’ve formulated our Wood Element Blend Roll-On with Lavender, Rosemary, Cedarwood and Lemongrass essential oils. If being used during acupuncture practice, apply this blend to the liver and gallbladder acupoints. Water Blend Roll-On can also be applied in times of meditation.
