Elements

What Element are you?

Five Element Theory is one of the major systems of thought within Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been used for more than 2,000 years as a method of diagnosis and treatment. Each Element is comprised of a number of specific correspondences such as a season, a color, a taste, an emotion, and personality traits. Although each individual possesses a little bit of each element in their emotional and physical constitution, there is usually one element that is more prevalent.
