Here's an article from the New York times about the healing properties of knitting. From the article:

All the members had their own stories illustrating the therapeutic power of textile arts and how knitting granted them the time and space to process grief, frustration or health struggles."
Chinese medicine practitioners can relate to the author's connection to the Earth Element, due to the supportive and nurturing nature of the practice. But each of the Five Elements is addressed to some degree.
