About Acupuncture
Taoist 5-Element Acupuncture is a living tradition of medicine that works at the root of life. It comes from a time when it was understood that humans are not separate from nature and the seasons, and that our health as well as our illness is reflected in the natural world around us. 5-Element Acupuncture reaches to the root of each individual and the causes of disease by treating constitutionally instead of symptomatically.
How it Works
There are over 360 acupuncture points on 12 main meridian pathways along the body, each corresponding to different organ systems. Fine needles are inserted at specific points to allow the inherent wisdom of the body, held in the map of the points, to restore health. Acupuncture is safe, effective, free of side-effects, and can be used as a stand-alone modality or in conjunction with other therapies.
