What is Acupuncture?
An effective treatment for a wide range of physical, emotional and psychosomatic symptoms. Viviane uses an integrated approach:
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture.
This process is also alchemical because it reunites Yang and Yin, spirit and matter, mind and body and reorganises these split parts to form a new, and more efficient whole.
​
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Is a traditional system of healing presented in Taoist alchemical texts and early classical Chinese medical texts and practiced in ancient China. The original teachings includes Yin/Yang Theory, the Law of the Five Elements and the understanding of energy, called Qi. When Yin & Yang become imbalanced and Qi does not flow smoothly, illness may result. There may be many reasons for this imbalance: physical and emotional stress, poor nutrition or injury are among the most common. TCM focuses on addressing the physical symptoms as well as the root cause of the health imbalance.
Five Elements
Five Element acupuncture is more focused on treating the emotional aspect of the patient, where mood imbalances are the patient's main complaint. This approach helps patients recover their sense of well being by lifting the level of conscious insight and imaginative vision that changes the way in which they relate with the world around them.
What can acupuncture do for me?
​Many people seek acupuncture treatment for the relief of aches and pains and to remove blockages to general well-being. Among the most common are back pain, headaches, osteoarthritis, digestive complaints, insomnia, menopausal symptoms, infertility and emotional discomfort.
Many come to prevent themselves from getting ill.
