Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires… and Disease Development

Prevention is really the root concept and main purpose underlying Five Element acupuncture. Every single disease known to mankind results from energy imbalance in one or more of your organs and functions. At the Acupuncture & Holistic Health Center, we focus on correcting this imbalance and preventing disease from developing.

The main aspects which cause the development of disease are the deficiency, excess, or stagnation of energy flow in your body, known as qi. This energy becomes blocked or otherwise imbalanced because it is susceptible to stress, strain, and trauma. There are several internal or emotional factors that can contribute to this imbalance, such as an excess of fear, grief, anxiety, worry, sadness or anger. External factors such as changes in weather and season, or larger environmental changes categorized by cold, heat, humidity, excess of pollen, etc can also play a role. When we are too exposed to either internal, external, or both factors, this qi disruption gets to be too much and illness follows in the body, the mind, and the spirit. 

What makes acupuncture special is that it balances the disruptions to qi that occur and re-educates your body on how to stay in balance. This awareness means we can see and feel how we are affected by those external and internal factors, and begin making changes to correct it so our energy remains balanced. This allows for easier prevention of disease. This change in outlook, concentration, and awareness brings about further harmony mentally and physically, affecting our physical state for the better.
