The Body Balance Chart

Video Transcript

The ancient herbalists and the ancient philosophers divided the world into four categories. They said that everything went from cold to hot and from wet to dry. Now cold, is you think about a body, the coldest it gets is death and the hottest it gets is energy and fire and excitement. And when you combine wet and hot you get an air element. When you combine dry and hot you get a fire element. When you combine cold and wet you get a water element. And when you combine cold and dry you get an earth element. Well, in the middle is balance and when you're out of balance, that's when a problem occurs. So like if you have too much fire, too much hot, too much dry then you've got fever, that's not good. When you've got too much hot and wet you might have vericose veins, hemorrhoids, something similar to that. When you have too much wet and too much cold you have something like asthma. Too much cold too much dry, arthritis. These are the more chronic things on this side, the cold side. The hot side is more acute problems.
