Precision Self-care for Nurses
The Elements of Care® Program for
Beating Burnout!
The Elements of Care® Program Is a Precision Self-care Program
The EOC® Program health culture diplomacy philosophy and the five elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Ether) guide the work of the Self-care League. We give equal consideration and specialize in the integration of energetic, traditional, physiological, and biomedical evidence and resources in Self-care decision making and actions.
The Self-care League consists of professional and lay instructors trained to teach the EOC® Program.
The Self-care League Medical Science Liaison team are licensed RNs and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses who train and support the Self-care League.
The Elements of Care®: What It Is and What It Is Not
-
Rooted in ancient Hermeticism, EOC is a Gentle Medicine philosophy of Five Elements that is universal and foundational to all healing traditions. Hermetic philosophy suits every creed and health belief and clashes with none.
-
The five elements make up all creation including the Self with a capital "S". The elements are fire, air, water, earth, and ether, which was known as “pneuma” or essence by the ancient Greeks.
-
We incorporate the five elements in a Self-care plan that addresses the energetic patterns unique to the person and their relationship to the environment in which they live and serve humanity.
-
The EOC program is a precision Self-care education rather than a biomedical treatment system.
-
Plants are not “prescribed” in the EOC system. Participants are trained to recognize their own health patterns and make informed choices about the plant partners and other non-drug solutions rooted in the five elements that are best applied in the care of Self and family.
-
Based on the historical and clinical research and more than 30 years of clinical nursing practice of Dr. Martha Libster and other health scientists, Self-care is complementary to any biomedical treatment. Self-care is foundational to any healthcare system.
