What's your Five Element type?
Wood
Driven, decisive, and growth-oriented.
As a Wood type, your nature is driven, decisive, and growth-oriented — in Chinese medicine, Wood is associated with the Liver and the smooth, free flow of energy (qi) through body and mind. At your best you're visionary, purposeful, and quick to act. When Wood energy gets 'stuck' or overheated — often through frustration, long hours, and no outlet — you may notice tension headaches, tight muscles, irritability, or a sense of being blocked. The traditional aim is to keep things moving and flowing: regular movement, flexibility of both body and plans, and herbs classically linked to the Liver and smooth flow. The deeper work for Wood is learning to channel that considerable drive without letting frustration build up behind it.
Where to focus
- Movement and flexibility — physical and mental — to keep energy flowing.
- Herbs traditionally linked to the Liver and smooth flow in TCM.
- Channeling drive without burning out on frustration.
