So what is “5 Element Acupuncture”
Acupuncture has been around for at least 2000 years with 5 Element hinging on the daoist idea that we humans and everything in nature too is composed of the 5 Elements and we need to live by natures laws and cycles to live a long, Healthy and happy life!
Just like the natural world, if something within us is out of balance then the entire system begins to break down because everything is connected. Five-Element theory enables us to identify the cause of our struggles, be they physical, mental or existential, and illuminates the path to healing.
Maintaining balance today when we all live busy, modern lives can be tough and we can often experience both physical and emotional trauma. We often only notice a problem when we become unwell, depressed, anxious or experience physical pain and can suffer from physical and mental exhaustion meaning something has upset the balance of the elements within us
As a 5 element acupuncturist I aim to address that imbalance and bring my patient back into alignment with nature’s ebbs and flows. So rather than treat a specific condition which may be a symptom of your imbalance I look for the root cause of the problem and use my needles to access energy and the flow which allows the body to regain balance and aid the natural healing process
