The five elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine and culture are Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.
The Five Elements theory is a comprehensive approach to general health and well-being. For millennia, it has been a component of many alternative medicine practices, such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Just as with everything in nature the elements are interconnected. There are many branches of acupuncture and Five Elements is one of them. In ancient China, the elements were viewed as forces of nature whose energies pass through our bodies.
Each element corresponds with different seasons, emotions, biological functions, organs, directions of energy and meridians (energetic channels). It can be used to explain and treat symptoms and illnesses when the relationships between the elements break down.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective system of healing which has been practised for thousands of years. It treats the whole person; addressing underlying issues, which in turn strengthens the person from the inside.
It can alleviate symptoms by stimulating the body’s own healing response, which helps to restore its natural balance.
Acupuncture can be used to restore health not only from physical illness, but also when our minds and spirits are in need.
