Five Element Acupuncture

is a classical style of Acupuncture, based on the theory that all the elements or forces at work in nature are also at work within our bodies, creating our interior landscapes. It is believed that we must have balance among these elements within us, in order to achieve health and longevity.

The Ancient Chinese observed these elements within nature and were able to relate them to the physical, mental and spiritual levels within a human being. When an organ becomes imbalanced, a certain color, sound, odor and emotion will dominate to reflect that imbalance.

These elements and a few of their associations are as follows:

	WOOD	FIRE	EARTH	METAL	WATER
YIN ORGAN	LIVER	HEART/ PERICARDIUM	SPLEEN	LUNG	KIDNEY
YANG ORGAN	GALLBLADDER	TRIPLE HEATER/    SMALL INTESTINE	STOMACH	LARGE            INTESTINE	BLADDER
