Sustainable Health: Simple Habits to Transform Your Life

Ancient healers understood the universe as an interconnected conscious relationship between natural elements. As Western medicine took hold, we lost our sense of intuitive healing and practices. Here, occupational therapist Susan L. Robertswho also has a degree from Harvard Divinity Schoolgives us tools for self-care based on the five-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine. These elementsfire, earth, wood, metal, and watercan also be linked to contemporary science and the elements of energy, matter, time, and space.
