Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is good for many disharmonies and illnesses. It is also very supportive of emotional difficulties and mental illnesses like anxiety and depression. There are no limits to the health issues that Five-Element Acupuncture can support and either treat or improve. The body is the healer, if we bring it back to a state of balance.
Acupuncture is widely known to relieve pain, and the effects of acupuncture include improved health for those suffering with chronic illness whether physical or mental. When the Acupuncturist attends to underlying problems, symptoms often disappear. To use a simple example, aspirin addresses a mild headache by masking the pain. Over time, the headache abates by itself, regardless of the aspirin. Acupuncture, by contrast, addresses the blocked Chi that caused the headache. With the source of the headache removed, the pain vanishes.
The best way to receive the benefits of acupuncture is to use it preventively. By keeping your energy in balance, your body can remain vital and healthy BEFORE the dis-harmony settles in and causes other problems. Getting started now, no matter the health state you are experiencing, is a great positive step towards prevention and health.
