Acupuncture
One of the major systems of thought within Traditional Chinese Medicine is 5 Element Acupuncture. Based on the five elements of nature: fire, earth, metal, water and wood, 5 Element Acupuncture has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a method of diagnosis and treatment for over two thousand years. Sometimes referred to as the “Five Phase” theory, it is believed the five elements represent our controlling and creative energies. Ideally, all five of these elements should be in balance.
“In theory, we develop symptoms/diseases when these elements become unbalanced. Treatment involves transferring energy from one element to another creating balance again. Classical 5 Element Acupuncture can be a very effective system to use in conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Determining a patient’s constitutional factor can be helpful with treatment by understanding why certain symptoms affect you and how to create better balance for a healthier future.”

Acupuncture Consultation
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote natural healing. It works by stimulating energy flow, known as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”), through pathways called meridians, helping to address a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional concerns.
Acupuncture can be tailored to treat various conditions, including (but not limited too):
Pain Relief: Acupuncture is highly effective for managing chronic pain, such as back pain, arthritis, migraines, and neck or shoulder tension. By promoting blood flow and releasing endorphins, it helps to reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort naturally.
Stress and Anxiety: Acupuncture can help calm the nervous system and reduce stress and anxiety by targeting specific points that promote relaxation and balance. Many people find it to be a deeply calming experience that leaves them feeling rejuvenated and centred.
Digestive Health: Acupuncture can support digestive issues such as bloating, IBS, and acid reflux by improving energy flow in the digestive system, promoting balance, and helping to regulate bodily functions.
Women’s Health & Fertility: Acupuncture is often used to support reproductive health, addressing menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, and enhancing fertility. It can be a supportive therapy for those undergoing fertility treatments or looking to improve overall reproductive wellness.
Sleep Disorders: For those suffering from insomnia or poor sleep quality, acupuncture can help to regulate the body’s natural rhythms, promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
During an acupuncture session, the practitioner will conduct an initial assessment to understand your concerns and overall health, creating a personalised treatment plan. The needles are then gently inserted into specific points, and you will relax in a quiet, calming environment while the needles work to rebalance your body’s energy. Many clients find the experience to be soothing, often feeling a sense of relaxation both during and after the session.
Acupuncture is a safe, natural approach to healing that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other therapies, making it an ideal option for those looking to achieve overall well-being and address specific health concerns.

Acupuncture TD & 1st Treatment
5 Element Acupuncture is a specialised form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that focuses on treating the individual as a whole by balancing the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—that are believed to govern all natural processes, including those within the body. This ancient system recognises that each element corresponds to different organs, emotions, and aspects of the mind-body connection. By identifying imbalances in these elements, a practitioner can address both physical symptoms and underlying emotional or spiritual issues, promoting harmony and health.
How 5 Element Acupuncture Works:
The five elements correspond to specific organs, body functions, and emotional states:
Wood (Liver and Gallbladder): Associated with growth, vision, planning, and emotions like anger and frustration.
Fire (Heart and Small Intestine): Governs joy, warmth, connection, and the clarity of thought.
Earth (Spleen and Stomach): Relates to nourishment, digestion, and the ability to nurture others and oneself, as well as worry or overthinking.
Metal (Lung and Large Intestine): Connected to grief, self-worth, and the ability to let go.
Water (Kidneys and Bladder): Associated with courage, willpower, and the ability to adapt to change, as well as fear and anxiety.
A 5 Element Acupuncture treatment aims to restore balance among these elements, addressing imbalances that may manifest as physical symptoms, emotional distress, or disruptions in overall well-being.
Traditional Diagnosis in 5 Element Acupuncture:
A traditional diagnosis in 5 Element Acupuncture is an in-depth process that involves observing and understanding various signs and symptoms that indicate which elements may be out of balance. This diagnostic process goes beyond just the physical; it delves into the emotional and spiritual aspects of the patient as well.
Key Diagnostic Methods Include:
Pulse Diagnosis: The practitioner assesses the pulse at three positions on each wrist, each representing different organs and their corresponding elements. The strength, rhythm, and quality of the pulse provide insights into which elements are imbalanced and how energy (Qi) is flowing throughout the body.
Tongue Diagnosis: The appearance of the tongue, including its shape, color, coating, and any specific markings or cracks, can reveal internal imbalances and the state of Qi in the different organ systems.
Colour, Sound, Odour, and Emotion (CSOE): Unique to 5 Element Acupuncture, the practitioner uses these four diagnostic tools:
Colour: Subtle changes in skin tone around the face can indicate elemental imbalances (e.g., greenish undertones may be associated with Wood).
Sound: The quality of a person’s voice can provide clues, such as a sing-song tone suggesting Earth or a sighing tone pointing to Wood.
Odour: Each element is associated with a specific scent that may become more pronounced when it is out of balance.
Emotion: The predominant emotion a person displays or struggles with (such as excessive worry, fear, joy, grief, or anger) can help identify which element may be in need of support.
Listening and Observing: A practitioner will listen carefully to the patient’s story, paying attention to not only what is said but also how it is expressed. Observing posture, facial expressions, and general demeanour provides additional clues about the state of each element.
What to Expect from a 5 Element Acupuncture Session:
A typical first session lasts about 90-120 minutes. After the initial diagnosis, the acupuncturist will insert fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points along the body’s meridians that correspond to the elements in need of balance. The session is often deeply relaxing, allowing the patient to rest while the needles work to restore the flow of energy (Qi).
5 Element Acupuncture is especially beneficial for those dealing with stress, emotional imbalances, chronic pain, or a sense of being out of sync with their body or surroundings. It is a holistic approach that seeks to treat the root cause of discomfort, helping patients achieve a greater sense of harmony, vitality, and overall well-being. With regular sessions, it can help create lasting change, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself and maintain balance.
