What is Classical Five-Element Acupuncture

Classical Five-Element Acupuncture (CFEA) is truly a sustainable form of healthcare based on the laws of nature—accessing the patient’s own resources to restore balance on all levels of body, mind and spirit—thus enabling one to achieve their fullest potential.

Symptoms vs. Cause

It is important to immediately point out that CFEA does not treat symptoms. It treats the core imbalance that cause’s symptoms to arise.

Symptoms are the body’s way of emitting a signal or warning when something is in distress or not functioning properly. For example, if the check engine light in your car turns on, it is an indication that something is wrong. That symptom can be easily remedied by either removing the light bulb or clipping the wires to the light itself—thus eliminating it. However, that will most likely not solve the problem. Treating the symptom may terminate the warning signal your body is putting out, but ultimately does not resolve the problem.

CFEA has a diagnostic process that evaluates certain constitutional factors, enabling the practitioner to focus on treating the core imbalance of the individual.

Who Can Benefit

Virtually anybody who is interested in taking an active role in their health and well-being, can benefit from Classical Five-Element Acupuncture.
