The Five Element Theory is based on the idea that different forces combine in nature to create harmony and balance. The five elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. In Chinese medicine, the Five Element Theory is an approach to understand imbalances within the body. When elements become unbalanced, symptoms and diseases start to develop.
This is another Elemental Reset developed by the BodyIntuitive modality which combines the wisdom of Chinese medicine with the knowledge of Western physiology.

- Fatigue/exhaustion
- Trouble sleeping
- Overwhelm/fear/worry
- Daily rhythms out of control
