Fire Element Meridians: Heart, Pericardium (yin), Small Intestines, Triple Warmer (yang)

Your meridians are the channels through which your emotions flow. The natural and free flow of life force energy (your e-motions - energy in motion) coursing through your meridians ensures your health and longevity. While blocked or suppressed emotions result in clogged meridian channels and imbalances of health.

In classic, Oriental, or Chinese, Medicine all disease is seen as disordered elements. Restoring balance of the five elements and the harmonious flow of Chi is at the heart of Chinese medicine.

Essential oils can help balance the five elements and restore the flow of chi through your meridians. The results of using aromatherapy to restore energetic balance and flow of chi may be enhanced through a regular practice of diaphragmatic breathing.
