Acupuncture

 The Qi of the Wood element blossoms in the spring when there's new growth. Those with strong energy of the Wood element have a clear vision and are goal-oriented. They excel at planning and decision-making.  When out-of-balance Wood will be angry and deeply frustrated with life and situations not moving forward. 

 People with a strong Fire energy are charismatic. Commanding others to action comes easy to them. Talking and socializing is second-nature to their being. If you're of the fire element, you may be vulnerable in very hot weather and possibly depression or manic episodes.  

 If you have a well-developed Earth energy, then you're the one people turn to for stability and compassion. You're perceived as the harbinger of peace and responsible for keeping things together. The Qi of the earth element flourishes in Indian summer.  When out-of-balance Earth may feel like a martyr or a doormat, receiving no respect and supporting others with no appreciation. 

 A well balanced Metal energy makes you a well-organized, self-disciplined, and a conscientious person. You are bestowed with deep inner strength and are comfortable in situations where you know you can succeed by following the rules.  Out-of-balance Metal will feel rigid and unable to endure changes.  Also a deep need for being valued can cause many with a Metal constitution to feel isolated and cold. 

 A person with Water Qi is a strong and fearless. They are determined and can endure many hardships in pursuit of their goals. Your strong will power helps you to persevere even in the face of adversity. Longevity is also another trait of water energy. Out-of-balance Water will feel great fear of the future and of the unknown.
