The Five Elements of TCM

I love the 5 elements, it is simple, and it feels like common sense to me….it is a way to explain diagnosis or patterns of disharmony to clients. Especially when we talk in strange diagnostic terms such as Liver Qi stasis or Spleen Qi deficiency, it is hard to grasp the concepts so having a system to explain this in visual sense is priceless. I realise that initially I get strange looks, however once I have clients on board they get excited about understanding the concept and how I work and problem solve as an Acupuncturist.
