ABOUT
FIVE ELEMENT Acupuncture
THE FIVE ELEMENT SYSTEM QUESTIONS "How well do you feel in your life overall?"
Traditional Chinese Medicine takes into account the immediate physical problem in context of important factors such as diet, sleep patterns, and adapting to temperature and other life events. These aspects aid the body in finding the most effective means to adapt to its environment. The “Five Element” System poses the question “How does life feel to us?” This system delves beyond physical pain and location, and focuses on understanding a patient’s overall well-being and emotional state. These inquiries are critical in comprehending how to guide the body and mind towards long-lasting balance.
