Finding your Element
We all carry every Element within us but at any given time, one tends to ask for your attention more than the rest. This quiz helps you notice which one is calling for support right now, so you can choose the oil that meets you where you are. There's no wrong answer, and you can always return to a different Element as your needs change.
Discover your dominant Element - Water, Wood, Fire, Earth or Metal - and the oil that supports it.

Your dominant Element is the one you selected most frequently throughout the quiz. If you have a tie between two, trust your intuition — which Element description feels most like you right now?
Remember: You are a blend of all Five Elements, but one is often most active or in need of support at this moment in your life.
Use the oil for your dominant Element to bring yourself back into balance — emotionally, energetically, and physically.

As well as using your Element oil daily for facial Gua Sha, or on its own, you can add the mini ritual below for extra emotional and energetic support.
🌊 Water Element
You’re intuitive, sensitive, and deeply reflective. You need periods of rest and alone time to feel balanced, but can slip into fear or overwhelm when stressed.
Mini Ritual:
Apply Water Element Oil to your lower back. Place both hands over your belly and breathe deeply.
Say: “I am safe. I trust the flow of life.”
🌱 Wood Element
You’re driven, passionate, and love growth. When out of balance, you may feel stuck, frustrated, or impatient.
Mini Ritual:
Apply Wood Element Oil to your temples. Gently tap the point between your eyebrows. Inhale slowly.
Say: “I am flexible. I move forward with ease.”
🔥 Fire Element
You’re joyful, expressive, and full of warmth. You uplift others easily, but stress can bring anxiety or emotional burnout.
Mini Ritual:
Apply Fire Oil to your heart centre. Lightly tap your chest while smiling softly.
Say: “I am joy. I radiate calm connection.”
🌍 Earth Element
You’re nurturing, grounded, and deeply caring. Stress can lead to overthinking or worry, especially about others.
Mini Ritual:
Apply Earth Oil to the centre of your chest (CV17). Breathe slowly into your belly.
Say: “I nourish and am nourished.”
🌬️ Metal Element
You’re precise, thoughtful, and love clarity. When unbalanced, you may become critical, withdrawn, or overly focused on perfection.
Mini Ritual:
Apply Metal Oil to the sides of your nose. Exhale slowly through your nose.
Say: “I let go. I create space for what matters.”
