Acupuncture: More Then Just Fixing Your Symptoms

Hello Havre de Grace (and Bel Air)!  Did you know that acupuncture is a form of medicine that has been practiced successfully for thousands of years as a healing modality? While Western Medicine is non replaceable when it comes to acute medical concerns, acupuncture is a wonderful compliment in assisting the body’s own innate ability to heal.  This is due to Five Element Acupuncture’s (the type of Acupuncture I practice) ability to not only attended the physical body, but the other two components that make up our unique selves..  the mind and emotions.  

Have you ever wondered why you may be having back pain, headaches,  anxiety, or infertility challenges?  Acupuncture works with the energy (known as “qi”) of the body.  Qi is what animates us and allows our organ systems, emotions, and mind to function properly.  When we have physical trauma or emotional grievances in our life our qi becomes stuck or stagnant.  This is the precursor to what we recognize as physical and emotional distresses such as acne, neuropathy, neck pain, inability to sleep, hormonal issues, and depression (just to name a few more cases!).  Placing needles, thiner then your hair, into points along your body’s energy grid (the Meridian System) allows for the qi to become unblocked and flow more smoothly throughout your body.  So not only do your physical complaints begin to mend - your whole self begins to heal.  

This extra attention to tending the emotions and mind is what Five Element Acupuncture is known for.  Not only do you get the benefits of having your physical symptoms addressed, but because the emotions and mental state are also attended to you recover in a way that allows you to move more easily forward towards your optimal wellness. 

Come and explore how Acupuncture can help you move beyond the distresses you may be experiencing.  Remember, Acupuncture is also Preventative Medicine since it stimulates your body’s own healing capabilities and can assist you in remaining healthy.  It is also affordable, effective, and a safe, natural form of medicine.
