five element theory
The five element theory is based on the observation of the natural cycles of the World around us and within us.
The foundation of Ayurveda and Yoga's five element theory is to use the relationship between the elements and the phenomenon of opposite qualities bringing balance to each other - warming therapies to remove stiffness, congestion and coldness and cooling treatments to avoid inflammation, irritation and overheating.
