The 4 Element Theory in Thai Traditional Medicine

📌 Traditional medicine systems around the world are all characterised by one thing: the Elementh Theory. The idea is that all things are made of earth, water,
fire and wind. By all things we mean everything frommeta, bones, dreams, desires; so not only human flesh and blood are made by these elements but also human characther,
tendecies and dispositions towards certain diseases. It is the baance and imbalance of the elements within us tat affects our emetonal and physical well-being.

📌 In Thailand, element theory is a unifying factor for the five branches of traditional Thai medicine:

1) Internal medicine (treatment of the internal body);
2) External medicine
(External application of herbs, Thai massage);
3) Spiriti Medicine (Shamanistic healing with spirits, incantations, magical amulets);
4) Divinatory sciences (Numerology, astrology, and palmistry);
5) Buddhism (which might be viewed as the mental health branch of Thai medicine. All five of these branhes incorporates Buddhist principles and element theory.

📌 In our bodies earth and water make up the flesh and the blood (Anatomy), and fire and wind are the animating forces that bring us to life (Physiology).

1️⃣ Din (Earth): Earth element dominates physical structures (bones, skin, nails, teeth and organs.
2️⃣ Naam (Water): Water element dominates all fluids, from tears to blood.
3️⃣ Fai (Fire): Fire heaths our bodies, breaks down our food, encourages transformation, and is the impetous of change.
4️⃣ Iom (Wind): The function of wind is to provide growth and vibration, and it has the experience of movement.

📌 Space, in addition, is th canvas upon which they all exist. Quantum physics has shown us what the ancients knew: that there is more space than there is matter. In Traditional medicine, space is often linked to consciousness and in Thai medicine to the study of Buddhas 5 Skhandas: form, sensation, perception, mental formation,
and consciousness.

❗️Om Namo.. The Thai Massage Wai Khru❗️

📌 Every serious practitioner of traditional Thai Massage is familiar with the Wai Khru - the prayer which invokes Jivaka, the Ayurvedic doctor who is revered in Thailand as an ancestral teacher. It is performed to pay homage and respect to the Buddha and the teacher.

📌 For practitioners of Thai healing arts, performing Wai Khru is an integral part of the practice. It helps to calm the body and mind; it established a respectful, humble atmosphere within which to live and work, and reinforced the practice of Thai Massage. Usually candles are lit during this ceremony, and they may be extinguished with the fingers, but not with the breath. Blowing out a candle is believed to disperse the offer.

📌 Thai traditional healing arts are inextricably connected to the life concepts and teachings of the Buddha, and that to practice Thai healing without embracing these basics concepts is not in keeping with tradition.

❗❗´Thai Massage and Buddhism` ❗❗

📌Massage was always considered to be a spiritual practice closely connected with the teachings of the Buddha. Until fairly recently it was the Buddhist temple, where massage was taught and practiced. The establishment of legitimate massage facilities outside of the temples is a recent development.

📌The giving of massage was understood to be a physical application of Metta, the Pali (and Thai) word used in Theravada Buddhism to denote 'loving kindness' and devoted masseurs still work in such a spirit today. A truly good masseur performs his art in a meditative mood. He starts with a Puja, a meditative prayer, to fully center himself on the work, on the healing he is about to perform. And he works with full awareness, mindfulness and concentration. There is a world of a difference between a massage performed in a meditative mood and a massage just done as a job. Only a masseur working in a meditative mood can develop an intuition for the energy flow in the body and for the Prana lines.

❓How does massage therapy relieve headaches ❓

Massage therapy helps to relieve headaches by easing muscle tension, relieving muscle spasms, releasing shortened muscles and relaxing tension held in the muscles of the head, shoulders and neck.

When muscle tension eases, there is less pressure on the nerves and blood vessel that supply them. Oxygen-rich blood circulation improves, which also relieves pain.

Massage therapy not only helps the muscle of the body t relax but also effectively reduces the anxiety and mental stress that can cause exacerbate headaches.

Regular, ongoing massage therapy can also help to prevent headaches by helping to reduce overall stress and the muscle tension that can trigger headache pain and by helping to maintain emotional balance.

❗Energy healing is often discussed as a new, somewhat unexplainable therapy. Truth is, energy work is an effective bodywork that is as ancient as healing itself.

❗ The body is, after all, bioenergetic and seeks to maintain balance. Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, called the body's natural capacity to heal itself vis medicatrix naturae--the healing power of nature. We are not separate from nature; in fact, we are intrinsically a part of the energetic web of all life and all things. Modern science is slowly catching up with this basic understanding, historically common to cultures the world over.

❗ Almost all cultures share a fundamental belief that life is more than just physical processes in a body; life is a unity of the physical, mental and spiritual, and is infused with a special energy or force that gives it vitality. Energy healing, or energy work, seeks to restore, promote, and maintain health and wellness to all those elements by influencing and supporting the body's bioenergies. These energies are variously referred to as qi (pronounced "chee"), prana, vital force, life force, 'lan vital, mana and more. When disease hits, it's understood as a disruption or distortion of these energies.
