The Foundation of Happiness is Found in Good Health

Trouble sleeping? Back or other chronic pain? Anxiety or depression? Fertility issues? Tired of taking a pill (or more) for every symptom? Classical Five Element Acupuncture could hold the answer to your renewed health, energy, and well being, no matter what your concern is.

The key to the success of this medicine lies in its focus on healing the core of each individual. This healing leads to health throughout the “mind body spirit”, and symptoms will just go away! Of course, each person is different, so each person will have different concerns and health issues. That is why it is important for me to spend time, the first time I see you, just figuring out what has gone on before, and what hasn’t worked for you in the past. This important first meeting gives me the information I need to help you get better fast.

Holistic Healing, Not Just the Suppression of Symptoms

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the oldest medical system in the world, originating in China thousands of years ago. It is based on the understanding that the inherent energies in our bodies can heal us and help us feel in harmony with life. One third of the world’s population uses acupuncture as a primary health care system, many more use it to complement western medicine. The World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health endorse this powerful healing discipline.

Five Element Acupuncture was used by the mandarin classes as a way to maintain health, correcting small imbalances before they progressed into a serious disease. Patients paid their acupuncturist when they were well, and not when they were sick!

How does acupuncture work?

Chinese medicine teaches us that life energy called Qi (chi) flows through the body in channels. Just as our blood delivers nourishment from the food we eat and the air we breathe, Qi is obtained and delivered to nourish our life energy. When your body’s energy or Qi is abundant and flowing freely, you are healthy. When your Qi is weak or obstructed, you are susceptible to disease; you may have physical symptoms, mental symptoms, or you may simply lack a zest for life. Acupuncture heals by opening up obstructions and releasing the flow of the Qi through the body.

What is a typical treatment?

A typical treatment starts with the patient communicating his/her concerns. The acupuncturist takes the patient’s pulses to ascertain the flow and balance of Qi, and about four to eight points are chosen based on this and treatment objectives. Commonly an herb called moxa is placed on these points, lit, and removed when the patient feels warmth. Then small sterile needles are inserted in the acupuncture points. These needles may create short sensations ranging from a pinprick to a slight ache.

How frequently will I need treatments?

Weekly treatments are usually recommended for the first six to ten weeks. After resolution of the initial problem(s), patients typically continue on a maintenance schedule, which varies from every few weeks to every few months.

Balancing Mind, Body, and Spirit.

People choose acupuncture for various physical and emotional concerns, and often continue for the sense of increased vitality, well being, and health they experience. Because Five Element Acupuncture aims to balance and restore Qi, or core energy, problems are solved at the root and symptoms disappear. It is truly holistic healing, not just the suppression of symptoms.
