Five Element Acupuncture

Five Element acupuncture places particular importance upon a person's body, mind and spirit which are considered to be inseparable. It is concerned with treating a person as a whole. Again this system is over 2000 years old and is rooted in Daoism and Naturalism, believing humans to be an integral part of Nature, each one of us a tiny manifestation of the Universe as a whole and, as such, subject to the interplay of the Elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

These are representations of the ways in which energy interplays within each of us, and each one of us will have an energetic resonance to one Element in particular, which gives us our special gifts and abilities in life, but also leaves us vulnerable to particular imbalances such as relationships, or our ability to cope with emotions such as grief or fear.

Of course we are all made up of all of the Elements, but by identifying that which is special within each one of us, we can tailor treatment to support the Element within us that is most in need.

In directing treatment to our core in this way, we enable the body to heal itself.

By integrating these two philosophies, Marcus provides a completely holistic form of therapy for physical, emotional and mental health.
