Classical Five Element Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of medicine originating in Asia over 2000 years ago. It is based on principles that relate to the observation and knowledge of the order of nature and how the universe works.
The Chinese observed that the universe is expressed in two polarities, Yin and Yang, and Five Elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. They also observed that human beings are a microcosm or reflection of nature and have both the polarities and the elements within them. Each Element is represented by both a Yin and a Yang organ that work together as a team to make the Body, Mind and Spirit healthy. Illness or disease happens when all or one of the elements are weak or out of balance causing the energy to not flow properly.
Traditional Chinese Medicine states that Qi, sometimes called vital force or life force, moves throughout the body along 12 pathways, or channels, called meridians. Qi feeds and controls the main organs and systems of the body.
Acupuncture is performed by inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body to influence the Qi to flow properly and feed the organs, re-establishing the body's rhythm with the natural cycles of day and night, the seasons, and the time of day. Once the energy is returned to its natural flow and balance in a person, the Body, Mind and Spirit then return to health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Acupuncture Treat?
The practitioner considers each person’s Body, Mind and Spirit as a whole, having its own unique individual relationship with the environment. Each symptom is seen as a distress signal of the underlying disease. When the cause of the disease is treated, the symptoms will start to disappear. Benefits of the treatment can be felt immediately, but are usually felt within four or five sessions. Often after the first couple of treatments the patient feels more able to relax and be at peace, increased vitality, and more enjoyment of life. This is followed by improvement of symptoms.

How Many Treatments Do You Need?
The number of treatments will vary depending on the person and the severity of the disease. On average, treatments are given once or twice a week for the first month, and then reduced to every two weeks, then every month, then traditionally at the season change. This all depends on the patient’s lifestyle and environment.

How Do You Use The Needles?
The needles are disposable solid stainless steel, not hollow like needles used in injections. Some people may feel hardly anything at all and are unaware of the needle penetrating their skin, while others may feel a sensation of numbness, mild sharpness, aching, heat or cold, or an “aliveness.” Most people are surprised at how comfortable they feel when getting treated with acupuncture.
