🌿 BEYOND THE BOTTLE — DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know your Spleen has a sweet tooth? 🍠
Not necessarily for cookies, cakes, and candy!
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the EARTH element is associated with the Spleen and Stomach systems, digestion, nourishment, stability, and even our tendency to worry or overthink.
And here's something interesting!
In TCM, the sweet flavor is traditionally associated with nourishment. But we're not just talking about sugar!
Naturally sweet foods like pumpkin, carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes are traditionally considered supportive of Earth.
Too much refined sugar, on the other hand, is associated with a traditional TCM pattern called dampness, which can involve feelings of heaviness, sluggishness, and digestive discomfort.
But Earth isn't just about what we eat!
💛 It's also about how we nourish ourselves emotionally.
Think about the person who takes care of everyone.
They're always checking on someone, worrying about what needs to be done, and making sure everyone else has what they need.
But who's taking care of THEM?
That's one of the fascinating connections we're exploring in our Beyond the Bottle series!
🌿 SO WHAT ARE WE DOING INSIDE MY HEALTH & OILS SUBSCRIPTION GROUP?
We're working our way through a 30-day journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Five Elements, learning how this ancient system connects the body, emotions, lifestyle, and essential oils.
And we're going much deeper than simply matching an oil to an emotion!
Inside the group, we're exploring:
🌿 The Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, and what each traditionally represents.
🌿 Emotional Patterns — Why TCM associates frustration with Wood, worry with Earth, and other emotions with different elements.
🌿 Body Connections — Traditional relationships between the elements, digestion, tension, movement, sleep, and other everyday experiences.
🌿 Essential Oils — Which aromas complement each lesson, why I've chosen them, and practical ways to enjoy them.
🌿 Exclusive Diffuser Blends — Recipes created around each element's emotional and aromatic themes.
🌿 Acupressure & Simple Practices — Traditional points, gentle exercises, reflection questions, and everyday ways to apply what we're learning.
🌿 Understanding Yourself Better — Recognizing patterns, exploring boundaries, and discovering where you might need more nourishment, flexibility, or balance.
And we're only on Day 10 of 30!
