The 5 element theory common to Ayurveda and Yoga can be useful in determining an approach to all aspects of diet and lifestyle choices. Each individual is seen as a unique expression of nature, not separate from it. The differing qualities understood as Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space are observed in changing seasonal, social and interpersonal circumstances.

Understanding these through the 5 element theory can act as an internal compass pointing towards balance and increased efficacy in our self care.
