Recharging the batteries with the 5 elements

De vijf elementen

The five elements can be considered as a refinement of the principle of Yin and Yang. Each of the five elements belonging to a type of chi energy. The idea behind the five elements is difficult to explain, because just like yin and yang, not one but many thoughts are hidden behind these five elements.

They are like the seasons (autumn being divided into two seasons): spring, summer, early autumn, late autumn and winter. But they are also compared to the time of the day, or the direction of the sun (rising from east to south, falling, and wracked night).

The best way to sense of the elements is by the warmth of the sun reflecting (whether at a particular time of the  day, or the location in the season).

 

Wellnessinstitute Phyto 5

The Oriental concept of health and beauty originates from Ancient China and has been refined through the ages. Health and long life have always been cherished the most in the East; beauty has always been associated with health.

Beauty was considered to be the ultimate reflection of a perfect balance between physical, psychic and mental health.

Beauty develops when these three factors are in perfect harmony. Health is the source of beauty.

‘Phytobiodermics’ is a collection of skin-care products for face, head and body. The starting idea is the energetical principle of Chinese medicine, where the body is considered to be both matter and energy. The 'Yin' and 'Yang' theory and the '5 Elements' theory ( Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water ) form the basic principles of the Phytobiodermic method.

Based upon this method, Hotel manoir Ogygia opens its new and specialised beauty institute 'Phyto5'.
