Wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Ancient Chinese philosophy tells us that everything in life is composed of and influenced by these five natural elements. They influence who we are and what we feel and they can be affected by many different factors such as our lifestyle, diet, stress levels, routine and the seasons.

At Elemental Herbology, we embrace the elemental way of life. With five unique product ranges spanning skincare, bodycare and home fragrance – alongside a carefully curated treatment menu designed to balance both body and mind – our therapeutic aromatherapy blends, performance-driven ingredients and skilful techniques offer spas, salons and customers alike the ultimate Five Element experience.

To begin each Elemental Herbology spa treatment, we determine the client’s dominant element using our Five Element Face & Body Profile consultation. Then we help them select one of five elemental body oils for a truly bespoke and experience; Wood to rejuvenate; Fire to energise; Earth for harmony; Metal to detox; and Water to soothe and relax.

The Elemental experience goes one step further than products and treatments. We work with our ever-growing collection of luxury spas and salons across the globe (including Four Seasons Park Lane, Nobu Shoreditch and Waldorf Astoria Maldives) to weave our ethos throughout the spa journey. This ranges from bespoke F&B offerings – including a juice menu based on our key five element botanicals – to incorporating the spa facilities into the Five Element journey. From fire pits, to steamrooms and saunas, each spa facility can be tailored to the five elements, allowing your guests to become fully immersed in the elemental way of life.

Elemental Herbology’s head of education, Antonia David, said: “In an ideal world, all five elements would exist in a state of perfect balance and harmony, leading us to experience good physical, mental and emotional health.

“However, the pressures of modern living often knock our balance of the five elements off-kilter. At Elemental Herbology, we’ll help you discover your individual balance of the five elements on the day of your spa experience and will then bring about a better state of balance to the elements through our products, aromas and spa treatments.”
