Water Element | The Law of Five Elements | Traditional Chinese Medicine

Water Element - Kidney (TCM)

In Balance:

You are clever, articulate, and evasive! You are introspective and your thoughts run deep. You have a calm energy that calms everyone around you. Your mind is lucid and you take in knowledge as you observe life, making you wiser than your years would suggest. You are resilient and constant. You have great integrity and are not one to compromise your principles.

Water Element is is all about collective intelligence and DNA.

Water is of the Winter, when we pull back to our hibernation dens and rest and renew our reserves. In your life, the power of the Water Element represents birth, and death, and allows us to leave our unique mark on humanity.

Out of Balance:

If the Water Element is out of balance, or is blocked from fully expressing itself, you may lack the qualities above, or have lost them over time as the imbalance has grown more severe. Cleverness turns to absentmindedness; evasiveness turns to isolation; introspection turns to phobic fears; calmness turns to detachment; lucidity turns to catatonic despondency; resilience turns to exhaustion; integrity turns to rigid belief patterns.

In Chinese medicine, as in reality, there is no way to separate the mind and the body. By treating the Kidney energy, you correct emotional imbalances associated with the Water Element; by addressing emotional issues associated with Water Element, you enhance the Kidney energy. Physical & Emotional Symptoms that occur with a Water Element Imbalance include:

Hair thinning or loss

Dark circles under the eyes or puffiness

Chronic urinary tract problems

Easy exhaustion

Need stimulants in afternoon

Pain or numbness along associated channels
