Boston Acupuncturist : Welcome!
Description
Historically speaking, the principles of balance, Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, came to light during the Warring States period in China between 476-221 B.C. During this time frame a school of philosophy developed which was sometimes known as the Naturalist School. Students of this philosophy studied and interpreted the interrelationship between people and their natural surroundings.
By observing the flow of nature's energy from season to season we can understand the checks and balances that are present in our own ecosystem. What is true in the environment in which we live is also true within each of us. Our interwoven body-mind-spirit follows the same principles in sickness and in health.
Oftentimes the western physician separates the various organs and functions of the body into different systems and categories. In traditional acupuncture our state is viewed from a larger perspective, as one would view an ecosystem -- no single part can be fully understood without an understanding of the whole. By hearing, seeing, smelling, and feeling, a well-trained Five Element acupuncturist can interpret which of the elements is your unique causative factor and on which level of the body-mind-spirit to focus.
