Energy Medicine Tips to Balance the Five Elements – here are some excellent short “Energy Minutes” videos to balance each element:

Nutrition Tips to Reduce or Eliminate Cravings

Cravings and how to find foods that create balance – the five elements can help you create balance in your diet. One of the ways it does this is through the 5 tastes in Chinese medicine. The principle is that if we eat meals that are balanced across all 5 tastes, it sends a signal of satisfaction to our brain (via the taste buds on the tongue) and to the organs through the meridians, energetic flows that go through the body. Each element is associated with one of the 5 tastes:

  • Water – Salty taste (e.g., sea salt, sea urchin, walnuts)
  • Wood – Sour taste (e.g., brussels sprouts, limes, lemons, fermented foods)
  • Fire – Bitter taste (e.g., beets, dandelion greens)
  • Earth – Sweet taste (e.g., corn, pumpkin)
  • Metal – Spicy taste (e.g., onion, scallions)

Using herbs and spices to kick cravings & create balance – In our book, The Bone Broth Secret: A Culinary Adventure in Health, Beauty and Longevity, Louise Hay and I have a whole section in the appendix that teaches you how to work with herbs and spices for the flavor, balance and antioxidant benefits. Herbs and spices are one of our favorite ways to kick cravings and bring satisfaction to body and mind. Here’s an excerpt from our book on how to balance the tastes. We focus here on the 6 tastes in Ayurvedic medicine, which is similar to the 5 tastes in Chinese medicine:
