The book explores the five element system, the unique classification & diagnostic system that is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. It teaches readers how to identify which of the 5 elements i.e. wood, fire, earth, metal & water most directly influences their physical, emotional and spiritual beings and which imbalances in these energies can lead to particular physical, emotional & spiritual disorders. The authors give detailed suggestions for restoring mind-body harmony and maintaining immunity and wellness, including stress reduction techniques, dietary and exercise regimens, and the use of Chinese and Western herbs, nutritional supplements, and acupressure.
