Seattle & Eastside Acupuncture

Is acupuncture for you?

Many people only start thinking about their health after something goes wrong. If you are wondering if acupuncture can help you with a particular health issue, the answer is yes.

Five Element Acupuncture works by healing your body, mind and spirit. You are also treated as an individual, and not as a symptom or disease.

Whereas acupuncture can help your symptoms, what is really going on is that your natural healing mechanism is being nourished and restored. Therefore, your symptoms have an excellent chance of being relieved and healed.

Five Element Acupuncture is not a silver bullet cure. In fact, there is no such thing as a silver bullet cure. Five Element Acupuncture is a healing process. When one is ready to commit to getting well, no matter what your chronic or acute symptoms may be, Five Element Acupuncture can help.

It is true that many of our ailments can be caused by external forces, such as trauma or a virus. However, most ailments in our culture result from internal causes. Five Element Acupuncture not only works on a physical level, but also on an emotional level. When your spirit is treated, your physical symptoms have a greater chance of recovery.

No matter what your situation, whether you have a chronic illness or even depression, your overall quality of life will be improved with Five Element Acupuncture.

Don’t I need to be sick in order to go to an acupuncturist?

NO.

Sure it will address just about any distress from acute to chronic illnesses, but it is VERY POWERFUL as preventative medicine.

Dr. Gary Dolowich, M.D., a five-element acupuncturist, writes in his book Archetypal Acupuncture…

“Symptoms are seen as manifestations of a disharmony in the internal energy, while treatment is directed at restoring its smooth flow, bringing balance and health. Addressing disturbances at this formative level, before they manifest in organic disease, allows acupuncture to work effectively at preventing illness.”
