What is Classical Five-Element Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing modalities known to humankind. It originated in China over five thousand years ago. Very fine needles are inserted in points that lie along energy pathways in the body and small cones of the herb moxa are burned on these points. It follows the natural law and thus the five elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood which correspond to the seasons of Summer, Late Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring which govern the health and well being of all the organs and systems within the person in their body, mind and spirit. It is elegant and effective.
