Five Element Acupuncture sees every person as whole, and seeks to understand the inherent nature of each individual - their innate strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies. This deeper understanding of the patient allows the practitioner to leverage the existing gifts within, strengthen weaknesses from a place of understanding their origin, and to support the patient in their ever growing self awareness and authenticity. This constitutional approach to medicine goes beyond symptomatic relief, supporting patients in achieving fundamental wellness in their body, heart, and mind.
TREATMENTS
ACUPUNCTURE
We use sterile, single-use, ultra thin needles to tonify points on the body, and remove stagnation. Acupuncture needles can treat local dysfunction, as well as systemic conditions via the meridians and associated organs.
MOXIBUSTION
Small hand rolled cones of Mugwort are placed on acupuncture points, and ignited with an incense stick. As the herb smolders, heat penetrates the skin, stimulating circulation and promoting the flow of Qi
FIRE CUPPING
A flame is used to create a suction between a glass cup and the patient's skin. As the skin and superficial muscle are drawn into the cup, blood flow is promoted and pain and tension are relieved. Cupping may cause temporary discoloration or bruising.
GUA SHA
A smooth-edged tool such as jade or a porcelain spoon are used to gently scrape an area of the skin. This scraping action helps release tension, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Gua Sha may cause temporary discoloration or bruising.
