Five element acupuncture is the classical method of acupuncture handed down orally from master to student, from antiquity. It reflects the tradition of acupuncture as practiced in China before China's government became communist. Japanese medicine also has a strong five element tradition, and this is what I generally practice. decatur ga acupuncture decatur ga

When a woman is trying to get pregnant, many intense and difficult emotions can arise. She can feel like she's no good enough, like something is intrinsically wrong with her, she can get very frustrated, sad or hopeless. Five element acupuncture focuses as much on the emotional as it does on the physical, and it is wonderful for helping to transform these kinds of feelings and beliefs into the Truth, which is that you are a holy, divine person who contains God in your heart, and there is truly nothing that cannot heal. decatur ga acupuncture decatur ga

How Does It Work? decatur ga acupuncture decatur ga

Ancient sages recognized a vital life force permeating everything in our world. They called this life force Qi (pronounced chee).decatur ga acupuncture decatur ga

There is an ancient Chinese saying that essentially says, "Qi is the mother of blood and qi follows where blood leads." Like rivers that run through the earth, qi runs through your body in channels, nourishing and cleansing your cells. Acupuncture brings qi to areas that need energy to sustain life, and it moves stagnant or constrained qi from areas where it is stuck. By accessing your qi through the points where it is most accesible acupuncture harmonizes and balances the basic energy on which your entire body and mind live. decatur ga acupuncture decatur ga
