About Acupuncture (five element)
What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a system of complementary medicine involving the insertion of fine needles into the skin to harness 'Qi' energy (pronounced Chee) considered to be our vital life-force. The aim being, that stimulation of the body’s own natural healing system will then provide the best conditions by which wellbeing can be restored.
Why Five Element? Five element acupuncture is a more ancient form of treatment based upon harmonising the elements of Nature within us i.e. those of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
Therefore, by ensuring our bodies become in-balance, this then allows natural healing to occur.
Benefits of a Holistic Approach Five element treatments are generally not symptomatically based, but have the aim that by treating the person as a whole and the underlying cause of imbalance, all other symptoms will then in-turn become restored to their natural state.
Conditions Common conditions often initially presented for restoring include:
Physical/Emotional Wellbeing Fertility Issues
Headaches/Migraines Relief
Respiratory/Circulatory Health Digestive Wellbeing Gender Specific Health Issues Sleep Regularity Immune System Functioning Lifestyle balance e.g. to help achieve ideal weight/stop smoking
"Five Element Acupuncture doesn't differentiate and aims to restore whatever is presented, no matter how big or small... "
Additional Acupuncture Treatment
