We are made up of the 5 Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water

They are our creative and controlling energies and ideally should all be in balance. 

The Elements out of balance are known as the causative factor and become apparent in many ways. The causative factor is a POSITIVE thing. When a patient comes for treatment and is out of balance, then these problems will become evident to the trained practitioner. They will be able to diagnose problems within the patient by evaluating their colour, sound, odour or emotion. The practitioner can then put together a treatment plan that will treat the patient's causative factor or what Element they represent.  

 

Which Element are you?

We are all made up of the 5 Elements, but there is always one predominant Element within all of us. As a 5 Element Acupuncturist Paul is trained to determine which one we are. It is when this Element becomes sick or out of balance that we feel ill and require assistance. If you click on a Chinese symbol below, it will give you some more details of each Element.
