METAL...Quiet, confident, analytical, philosophical, stubborn, seems arrogant, but just needs life to make sense and gets flustered when their perspective might be wrong. These are the qualities, or general personality traits, of the element of Metal, according to TCM. Learn what it may look like when Metal is blocking another element or when Metal is the one being blocked, when Metal is opened, and the physical connections within the body.
Herbal extracts are not the only way to deliver medicinal herbs to your body...cookies can, too, and who doesn't love them? When I think of a good cookie, I instantly visualize a chunky chocolate chipper with a glass of ice-cold milk. But using our imagination and thinking outside the box, how about a refreshing lemonade cookie infused with summertime cooling herbs such as Linden, Yarrow, and Anise Hyssop? Enjoy this out-of-the-box cookie recipe inspired by our delicious SUMMER HEAT Tea blend...perfect for hot weather and for a little fun in the kitchen!
We recently posted the blog entitled, "A Simple Introduction to the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine". We have now been exploring characteristics of each of the Five Elements and how they relate to emotion. We have already considered the elements of Water, Wood, and Fire, and will now discuss the Earth element. This blog will explore such questions as: What may happen...when Earth is blocking another element?...when Earth is the one being blocked?...when Earth is opened? A future blog will explore how these questions relate to the final element, Metal. We hope that you find this information useful.
