Acupuncture for Wellness

Five Element Acupuncture is a holistic system of healing that focuses on treating the person rather than the disease. Treatment is aimed at restoring and maintaining harmony of body, mind and spirit. This style of treatment is especially effective for people with problems that may be of an emotional nature, such as stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, as well as for those with physical problems.

With Five Element Acupuncture, symptoms will always be viewed in the broader context of your constitution. Treatment will be aimed at addressing the cause rather than the symptom. This is because a symptom is like a warning light on the dashboard, alerting us that all is not well. Treating the symptom only can be likened to disconnecting the warning light without addressing the problem. With Five Element Acupuncture we look for improvement in all aspects of your life.

The Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. They represent the fundamental building blocks, or different types of energy, in nature. Each of the Five Elements has its own particular quality, both in nature and in you. Whilst we all have all five at work in us, your Constitutional Element is the one that plays the most important role in the way you experience life and your overall health and wellbeing.
