There are many styles of Acupuncture. Whatsets Five-Element Acupuncture apart is its focus on healing the root cause of any imbalance rather than merely masking symptoms. This is achieved by treating each patient with a unique and individual treatment plan, and not just using a predetermined prescription of points based on symptoms. This medicine works in harmony with Nature, and strives to return the body of each individual to their natural state of balance and health. This involves creating balance amongst the Five Elements and energies of the body.
