Five Element Acupuncture, also known as Traditional Five Element Acupuncture, has roots that trace back thousands of years in Chinese medicine. 

​

Each of the 5 elements represent a season in nature. Water- Winter, Wood- Spring, Fire- Summer, Earth – Late Summer, Metal – Autumn.

 

This form of acupuncture is where each of the 5 elements within us must be in balance – if not our body starts to show symptoms (illness or physical pain). During treatment the body is treated as a whole and the symptom itself is not treated. The symptom or distress signal will ease during treatment when the body is brought back to balance. 

 

Five Element Acupuncture is known for its holistic approach, aiming not only to alleviate symptoms but also to address the underlying root causes of illness, promote overall well-being, and assist in returning the person back to balance and harmony. 

 

Treatment is tailored to address each individual's unique concerns and each patient and treatment is unique. 

 

Getting regular treatments of 5 Element Acupuncture ensures that any symptoms do not return and keeps the whole body in positive balance and energised and feeling good.
