According to Chinese theory, we are each made up of 5 elements : Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

Each element has its own strengths and associations and should ideally be in balance.

Whether through nature or nurture, we all have one element which is constitutionally out of balance. This is known as the Causative Factor (CF).

As a 5 element practitioner, I am trained to observe the 5 elements in each person. Through evaluating facial colour, sounds of the voice and the emotions, I am able to put together a treatment plan that will treat your causative factor/ element.

This ancient principle is essential because it means that the underlying cause of disease is being treated and not just the manifesting symptoms.

Five element acupuncture is holistic and may, therefore help an extensive range of issues along the mind/body/spirit spectrum
