The medicine wheel has been used for centuries by Native Americans to cure specific ailments and to create physical and spiritual balance which promotes health and peace of mind. The medicine wheel is divided into four sections corresponding to certain colors, moods, phases of life and seasons of the year. The cause of illness is an imbalance among these qualities and the medicine wheel is used to restore this sense of balance. A medicine wheel is not a complicated object. It can be made of wood looks like a wagon wheel. It is divided into four sections and is easy to grasp.

The medicine wheel is used by a medicine man to diagnose an ailment and to prescribe a certain treatment. The red section corresponds to summer and is characterized by fertility issues and extreme moods. It is like the adult time of life, when there is the peak amount of vigor and vitality. The yellow section corresponds to childhood and its season is Spring. This section deals with energy levels and rejuvenation. The third section is blue and corresponds to autumn. Its element is water, and it is characterized by middle age, and the emotional faculties. This is the phase during which people reflect on their lives thus far and prepare themselves and their families for their old age. Green corresponds to earth and is characterized by the elderly. As one prepares to return to the Earth, they reflect on their lives and share their wisdom. They still have much to contribute, especially to younger members of their family. They represent stability and calmness.

To create balance all of these elements should work together to create a healthy whole. While we are more strongly characterized by one or another at different phases of life, a person must be aware that he has all of the traits discussed and needs to create a balance to live a along and healthy life. However, a person must also accept which phase of life he or she is in and to live to the fullest.
