Does acupuncture work with non-physical problems?
Yes. As mentioned, Classical Five-Element Acupuncture views the patient as a wholebody, mind, and spirit. What happens to you physically affects your mind and spirit as well. For example, when someone has suffered severe physical injury because of an accident, we know that there are effects on a mental and spiritual level as well, as the person struggles to cope with the injury. Conversely, when a person is under extreme mental or emotional distress, they often develop physical symptoms, e.g., high blood pressure, migraine, insomnia, fatigue, and a myriad of other possibilities. Imbalance on one level means imbalance on other levels. It is the intention of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture to restore balance and harmony on all levels–body, mind, and spirit.
