We all have each one of the five elements within us. When there is harmony, all five elements, flow from one to the next in a supportive, nourishing cycle. The harmony of the five elements and indeed the whole body, is disrupted when one or more of the elements becomes weakened. The flow around the cycle becomes strained, and disharmony can be seen in physical, emotional or spiritual difficulties. The aim of five element acupuncture is to treat the imbalance and restore the harmony.
