Updated: Dec 26, 2023


Balance the Elements with Thai Massage

Feeling out of whack? What does it look like when you have an excess of fire, water or wind?

Here are a few indicators according to Thai healing tradition:

Excess wind: Nervousness, racing thoughts, anxiety, insomnia, shaking or tremors


Excess water: Depression, worry, bloating, weight gain, lack of energy or motivation


Excess fire: Angers easily, upset stomach, rashes, high blood pressure, skin disorders

So what can we do to regain balance? Here are a few lifestyle adjustments to assist in finding your balance:

To balance wind:

  • Begin a calming exercise routine with gentle exercises such as Yoga, Thai Chi, Qi Gong, walking etc.

  • Deep breathing is very calming on the system. Focus on long deep breathing for 5 min a day or slow your breath when feeling over stimulated.

  • Run a humidifier in your home or work area.

  • Eat 4 to 5 smaller meals a day.

  • Eat oily fish, avocado and hummus to dampen the wind.

  • Mango, pear, avocado are the best fruits for windy people.

To balance water:

  • Increase exercise to burn off the excess water through sweating (running, elliptical, dancing etc.)

  • Drink warm liquid in the morning- 2 cups of hot water with lemon or lime, hot tea or broth.

  • Increase intake of hot and spicy foods.

  • Avoid dairy and raw foods (cook or warm up vegetables before eating.)

  • Drink hot tea before bed.

  • Banana, papaya and eggs are great of water people.

  • Add astringent foods like ginger, lemon and grapefruit

To balance fire:

  • Add an aggressive form of exercise to release fire (boxing, martial arts, competitive sports etc.)

  • Take long baths to introduce water.

  • Eat lots of veggies and fruits (except in the morning.)

  • Avoid spicy foods.

  • Add bitter and sweet foods to temper the fire.

  • Cucumber, yogurt, mint, Berries, apples, avocado and citrus are good for fire people.

  • Let your food cool down in temperature before eating or eat raw or cool food
