Summary

Harness the ancient Five Elements of Chinese Medicine to unlock your unique Adaptation Type, transforming stress into resilience and mastering cortisol management for holistic health.

Power of the Five Elements is your evidence-based, comprehensive guide to better health and wellness. Dr. Charles Moss melds three decades of acupuncture expertise with the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine and delivers actionable insights, including the impact of cortisol—a key stress hormone linked to various health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

What You'll Discover:

  • Cortisol & Adaptation Science: Understand how cortisol affects your stress levels—and how discovering your unique Adaptation Type is a game-changer for managing cortisol naturally.
  • Emotional Transformation: Dive deep into the Five Adaptation Types—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—and transform emotions like anger, worry, and fear into patience, empathy, and trust.
  • Holistic Strategies: Use the included questionnaires to pinpoint your specific Adaptation Type. Benefit from individualized lifestyle modifications, meditations, and exercises for a more resilient and stress-free life.
  • Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science: Immerse yourself in a synergistic blend of time-tested Taoist teachings and contemporary mind-body research.
  • Real-life Case Studies: Be inspired by compelling transformations made possible by optimizing one's Adaptation Type.

The book is organized into two parts. It opens with essential theories of adaptation and health. Part II offers in-depth explorations of each Adaptation Type, each offering transformative emotional shifts and evidence-based wellness strategies to help you achieve whole-body health the natural way.

Whether you're passionate about wellness, a student of Chinese medicine, or seeking scientifically supported stress management, you’ll discover why audiences have hailed Power of the Five Elements as an "indispensable," "enlightening," and "actionable" resource.

Critic reviews

“In this enlightening book, Dr. Charles Moss offers us the opportunity to heal our modern world through the wisdom of the ages.”—David Simon, MD, cofounder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing and author of Free to Love, Free to Heal

“Dr. Charles Moss catapults the discipline of Five Element acupuncture into the contemporary framework of an individual’s response to life’s stressors. His Five Adaptation Types each embody the qualities of an element, and he lucidly animates them with snapshot stories from his clinical practice. This is the inevitable next step of integrating the classical Five Element model into modern medicine’s understanding of mind-body dynamics.”—Joseph M. Helms, MD, president of Helms Medical Institute and founding president of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture

“Dr. Charles Moss, a masterful physician and acupuncturist, penetrates the mysteries of classical Chinese medical thinking to give us a truly useful guide to meeting life’s challenges. He demystifies this deeply thoughtful approach to health while honoring its physical, emotional, and spiritual insights. Dr. Moss makes ancient wisdom immediately applicable to dealing with modern stress, giving us clear, specific instruction for using our adaptive strengths to live a healthy, more conscious life.”—Martin L. Rossman, MD, Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM), author of Guided Imagery for Self-Healing
