Double Year FIRE YANG
This phenomenon occurs only once every 60 years. Today, we enter the year of the YANG fire horse. In energetics, seasons are characterized by 2 elements called heavenly stems and earthly branches. Each of them is associated with one of the 5 elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) and a polarity (YIN or YANG).
PHYTO 5 professionals work with the theory of the 5 elements, particularly the generation and control cycle, to anticipate the visible signs of aging and adapt routines and lifestyles preventively to support the skin's appearance in challenging situations.
Therefore, today, we enter a year where the heavenly stem is YANG and Fire, and the earthly branch is also YANG and Fire. What does this mean for your skin?
The Current Season
The energetic year, which begins today, February 4, 2026, always starts with the Wood season. When Fire is very present, and that Fire is YANG, it is possible for people whose wood is not sufficiently abundant that the excess Fire exhausts the wood. If you are in this case, the following skin phenomena may appear: extremely rough and undernourished-looking skin, redness, or the appearance of red patches.
What to Do to Prevent These Manifestations?
To help prevent these manifestations linked to a YANG Fire that draws on the Wood's energy, it is helpful to limit the consumption of foods that feed the fire, such as red and acidic fruits, spices, or red vegetables.
If these manifestations appear, the Wood Phyt'Ether, applied one drop 3 times a day on the backs of the hands (apply and rub the hands back to back), will support the Wood's energy and help limit these skin appearances.
Undernourished and Rough Skin
When the skin looks undernourished due to external aggression or an energetic imbalance, it benefits from nourishment. Use a nourishing cream daily and alternate the nourishing cream with the cream of the season, currently the Wood day cream, to help limit these appearances.
Red Patches and Redness
In this specific case, the Fire energy is so Yang that the skin reacts intensely by producing red-colored pimples. Even in Wood season, Phyt'Ether Fire is used, 3 times a day on the hands (one drop on the back of the hands, and rub back to back) to help calm the fire energy. Fire products, such as lotions or creams, are also included in the routine to help calm the fire energy.
During such a strong energetic year, as it rests only on one element and that element is YANG in both cases, it is helpful to use the products of the current season to limit the appearance of unwanted skin signs.
