FIRE ELEMENT Summer Heart & Small Intestine Speech Joy & Love; Anxiety & Despair... Mental health, Trauma, Depression & Anxiety The Fire Element correlates with the Heart. As Fire moves in an upward motion, imagine emotions of the Heart acting and moving in the same upward motion, directly affecting the Mind. Mental health is a large part of TCM in achieving harmony and balance. Mental health support is imperative to every individual, every lifestyle and at every age. A balanced Fire Element is one of love and joy. #MQM #torontoacupuncture #TCM #FiveElements #FireElement #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #anxiety #depression #trauma #joy #love #summer #fire #balance #harmony #heart #SmallIntestines #speech #despair #mind #shen #emotions #WSBMassageAndWellness #BloorDundas #ByJenniGarcia

Shen can be translated as Spirit or Mind. It is our consciousness, our mental focus, our vitality and our presence. Shen retreats to the Heart each night to sleep and recharge. If Shen is disturbed, sleeping issues, such as insomnia, may occur. And vice versa, if there are sleep troubles, it will show in the Shen. Healthy Shen will show bright and shining eyes. A clear presence. Disturbed Shen shows up with dullness, as if there is an extra layer over the eyes, as wel...l as a lack of vitality. This is often seen in individuals who have experienced trauma and/or shock. Healthy Shen relies on the strength of our Essence and Qi, which can be nourished in a number of ways - good health and healing, spirituality, expression and release, to name a few. The beauty of TCM is how it can meet each individual where they are at. Prioritizing the needs of the mind, body and spirit. #MQM #shen #eyes #TCM #TraditionalChineseMedicine #healing #trauma #shock #MindBodySpirit #presence #vitality #insomnia #consciousness #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #EyesAreTheWindowToTheSoul #joy #Heart #TCMHeart #HeartHealth #spirituality #BrightEyes #Acupuncture

EARTH ELEMENT Transition of Seasons : Stomach & Spleen-Pancreas Taste Satisfaction & Gratitude; Worry & Obsession ... Nutrition, Family Planning, Pregnancy & Postpartum The Earth element correlates to the Stomach and Spleen. TCM nutrition utilizes energetics of food to keep the body balanced and operates from a place of food as medicine. In the element life cycle, Earth is a time of transition and nurturing; much like pre-conception to pregnancy, and pregnancy to postpartum. It is a sacred time of healing and rebuilding to ensure a healthy recovery and continuous self-care for a growing baby and family. #MQM #EarthElement #stomach #spleen #FiveElements #TCM #TraditionalChineseMedicine #nutrition #EasternNutrition #FamilyPlanning #Fertility #conceiving #pregnancy #PostPartum #GoldenMonth #family #babies #children #paediatrics #FoodAsMedicine ##transition #healing #PregnancySupport #GrowingBaby #WSBMassageAndWellness #BloorDundas #ByJenniGarcia See more

METAL ELEMENT Autumn Lungs & Large Intestine Smell Inspiration & Hope; Sadness & Grief... Dermatology, Cosmetic Acupuncture and Grief The Metal Element correlates to the tissues, skin and the emotion of grief. When the Lungs are compromised, it shows through the skin and vice versa.

Whether you part of your regular self-care regime for dermatological issues or prep for a big event, cosmetic acu treatments will leave you glowing from inside out! #MQM #FiveElements #TCM #CollagenProduction #Lungs #Autumn #Fall ##acupuncture #TorontoAcupuncture #CosmeticAcupuncture #MetalElement #SkinCare #dermatology #vitiligo #eczema #psoriasis #rosacea #acne #TraditionalChineseMedicine #WSBMassageAndWellness #BloorDundas #HolisticHealth #HolisticSkinCare #ByJenniGarcia See more
