The Five Elements
Being in good health requires harmony between all 5 elements. When we are feeling at our best we will shine with the positive attributes of each one. When we are run down, emotionally drained, tired or have poor nutrition we can feel the negative side of at least one element.
For example, if you have too much energy in an element you may see an excess of a condition -perhaps too much oil in your skin. However if you are lacking energy in an element you may not have enough energy and find you do not have enough oil in your skin, leaving your skin very dry.
We can choose your treatment according to how you are feeling or we can tell you which element you fall under due to the year you were born in (your own personal biorhythm), helping the energies most likely to need balancing during your lifetime.
The categories below may help you to choose which treatment or products you need to balance your emotions or skin condition at this moment in time. You may find you fall into more than one category, choose the one that you have the most affinity to right now.
Our beautiful gifts set give you the chance to give yourself a little pampering at home. You can mix together a mask for your element using the Elemental Clay Powder, Organic Rose Hydrosol and Elemental Elixir drops. Then complete your facial treat with some Rice Balm Face Cream. Gift Set includes: 25g pot Elemental Clay Powder, 5ml Elemental Elixir, 15ml Rice Balm Face Cream and 100ml Organic Rose Hydrosol.
