Classical Five Element Acupuncture >> Overview

Each of us holds within us the potential for genuine well-being, and the inner resources we need to heal. By harmonizing and restoring the flow of energy which is our vital life force, Classical Five Element Acupuncture (CFEA) allows us to access our natural healing abilities, so that we may heal deeply and be truly well.

CFEA is a holistic and core-level approach with wide-reaching effects. It can be used to treat a wide variety of ailments. Some of the reasons people seek out treatment include: chronic conditions (e.g., fatigue, irritable bowel, high blood pressure) , pain (e.g., migraine headaches, back pain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica), psychological and emotional conditions (depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, stress, addictions, PTSD), allergies and autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), skin conditions (e.g., acne, eczema, psoriasis), and women’s health concerns (e.g., PMS, hot flashes, infertility). In addition, many people use CFEA for general-well being and as part of their preventive health care routine.

CFEA works with nature, to restore our in-born ability to heal. The Five Elements represent ancient Chinese understanding of the natural laws which govern the cycle of the seasons and the forces of the cosmos. The ancient Chinese understood that these laws are also at work within our body, mind and spirit. True healing occurs when we live our lives in harmony with our inner nature and the world around us.

Classical Five Element Acupuncture is an ancient and powerful system of healing, based on these natural laws. It has been handed down from master to student for countless generations, and is still taught in the traditional way.
