Book Cover & Preview Text
This manual explores starting a wellness center through the lens of the Traditional Chinese Medicine's Five Element Theory. Traditional Chinese Medicine was originally an oral tradition of health and wellness, with information passed down by the ancients in parables and teaching stories. In this tradition, the body has been described as the kingdom with the heart as the emperor/empress. All the major organs are described poetically as officials with defined tasks to support the kingdom. And the major organs of the body are connected with each of the seasons, which coincide with one of the five elements. For this book, the theory has been used to explore the facets of creating a business. Utilizing this model of the qualities of the five elements can be a great metaphor for creating a wellness center that is well rounded and holistic.
