Five Element Acupuncture
Originating in China, over 2,000 years ago, the core insight of Five Element Acupuncture upholds the theory that the mind, body and spirit are made up of five elements found in nature: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. When all five energies manifest within us in balance and harmony, we experience the enhanced joy of being alive.
When we are in good health, the flow of energy is smooth and uninterrupted. When illness strikes, this flow is disturbed. By isolating the source and finding the root cause of imbalance and then removing energetic blockages, a natural balance between the physical and emotional self is recovered and the body and mind are reconnected, thus supporting an individual to discover a greater sense of themselves and move towards their utmost health and thrive.
Five Element Acupuncture is a preventative and empowering system of medicine which treats the essence and the whole of the unique individual – their situation, lifestyle and needs - rather than simply managing symptoms. The aim is to restore equilibrium and harmony, primarily on a somatic level, so a person can seek to return to their innate nature: A place where they are better able to cope with whatever life brings and where they can implement any necessary changes to live life as fully and as consciously as possible. As this happens, symptoms should ease.
