Characteristics of element points

As a 5 element practitioner, perhaps I can help you understand.

In 5E, we don&#39t use concepts such as &#39damp&#39, &#39heat&#39 etc. We work on the premise that treating the Constitutional Element brings balance to the entire system, so the fundamental basis is diagnosing that element. However, within that, we treat any blocks between the elemental flow, as well as improving correspondence between the elements. It may look simple on paper but, is complex in practice, and I respectfully suggest if you are interested in 5E (which is a remarkable system) then you embark on some study of it before applying it to practice.

I studied TCM after my 5E training, and being able to use the two systems as complementary to each other is a powerful way to work . I think it is easier to focus on one modality to become familiar with Chinese Medicine as a paradigm, and explore others after then. I hope you can find out all you need to know and enjoy your practice even more!

Thank you very much Dr.. still a long way for me to go in acupuncture. Hope I can understand much better when I start clinical practice..
