What is Five Element Acupuncture?
Classical Five Element Acupuncture is also called Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture and has its roots in the Han dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD) classics of Chinese medicine. It is an ancient form of acupuncture that views clients from a holistic perspective.
Holistic treatments aim to heal at all levels – at the body, mind, heart, and spirit levels of being. In this way, this form of acupuncture can enable an individual to move into harmony again in all aspects of their life. This harmony is achieved by an acupunturists view of the person as a whole being, operating at several different levels, as well as viewing them with understanding of the symptoms with which they struggle. A Five Element practitioner places great importance on having a thorough understanding of not only the person, but also their environment, their history and the Five Elements working in their life and in their relationships.
The Five Elements are: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Each of these help create who we are and how we function in the world. We are, as is our world, made up of each one of these elements. In Classical Five Element Acupuncture, there is thought to be one main or root cause for most of a patient’s presenting symptoms. This weakness is an element that is causing the presenting symptoms and stopping the growth of the person as a whole. This weakened element is known as the persons Causative Factor or C.F. Each person has a different causative factor and then undergoes treatments specific to their own causative factor. Please call today for your appointment and experience the difference for yourself!
