About Elements and Seasons:In addition while the characteristics of the water element (Cool and Wet) are prevalent in Winter, the opposite is true in summer, when the Characteristics of Fire (Hot and Dry) prevail. Thus if we lack the water element in our chart, we would want to increase the water Element in the Summer, when the Hot and Dry prevail, and warm the water Element in the Winter, when Cool and Wet prevail. Likewise, we would choose our Menu from those foods which are warming (mostly Yang), in order to stimulate the Element, and cooling Foods (mostly Yin) to Calm any Element. |
