The Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhuta)

The five great elements that compose all of creation — from the densest earth to the most subtle ether. Every plant, dosha, and sign in the garden expresses a unique elemental blend.

The five elements compose every plant, dosha, and sign. Eat and grow for the element you need more of.

Balance your plate by color and element — a little fire, earth, air, water, and ether.
