Looking for a deeper level of healing?
For those of
you looking for a deeper level of healing, to uncover and
eliminate the true cause of your pain there is another
way, 5-element acupuncture.
All
acupuncture is not alike
Acupuncture can
be used to disable the body’s pain alarm. That’s why
acupuncture can be used as anesthesia during surgery to
block pain. Because many clients are satisfied with just
stopping the pain, that’s how many acupuncturists
treat.
Let
me tell you an acupuncture story
One of my
acupuncture teachers, Dr. Haig Ignatius, was a ear, nose
and throat M.D. At that time in San Francisco only M.D.'s
could do acupuncture. In the clinic where he worked, he
would consult with a client, then go into a back room and
talk to the Chinese acupuncturist to find out what to do,
then went back to the client to do the treatment.
Dr. Ignatius started getting very curious about
acupuncture because it could treat some things that
western medicine couldn’t. He started asking a lot of
questions. After treating one client who had been coming
back to the clinic for a long time, Dr. Ignatius asked
the Chinese doctor if there wasn’t something else that
could be done for the woman.
The Chinese doctor’s eyes lit up. “I thought you wanted
her to come back for ever so the clinic could get rich. I
didn’t know you wanted to unblock her energy and cure
her. That requires different treatments”
How
5-element acupuncture is different
5-element
acupuncture, practiced correctly according to natural
laws, is a beautiful system of medicine. Its fundamental
principle is the constant attention to diagnosis and
treatment of the causes rather than the symptoms of
disease. As a 5-element acupuncturist I am carefully
trained to understand the laws of nature, to diagnose in
acknowledgment of them and to work therapeutically to
restore their effectiveness. In doing so, your qi is able
to cure the causative factor of the disease and not just
silence the syptoms. The continuing unblocked flow of
energy is the prerequisite of good health.
