In Traditional Chinese Medicine the Earth element is linked to the end of Summer. It is the time of the year when Yang is in its waning phase and Yin has made room within it. Nature is at the moment of greatest prosperity, the harvest is abundant and the land is rich in fruits that were filled with vital energy during the summer.

The Earth constitution belongs to a person who is generally calm and quiet, generous and conciliatory, welcoming and flexible, wise, who move with slow and somewhat heavy gestures, and they don't like change much, but they are methodical and organized and equipped with practical intelligence.

The Earth constitution is linked to the Spleen/Stomach pair, considered in Traditional Chinese Medicine the "granary" of the body, where energy and food reserves are accumulated.

The color associated with the Earth is Yellow, Ocher and in general all the colors of the Earth. The stone associated with this constitution is Tiger's Eye (here in the picture) or Amber.
