Mei Long studied in China and has around 30 years of TCM experience. After training with Nora Franglen, Mei Long specialized in Five Elements Acupuncture and helps to reintroduce this knowledge in China, where it has been lost. She is involved in teaching acupuncturists in China as a senior consultant of the China Five Element Acupuncture Society.
Five Elements Acupuncture for Well-being and Physical and Mental Health
The classical teachings of Five Elements Acupuncture have their own principles, with a constant focus on identifying and treating the Element, thus addressing the causes rather than symptoms.
Each person is seen as the result of the fusion of different elements, with the dominant element considered as the causal factor (CF). This CF appears to remain constant throughout life.
Instead of an intellectual analysis, the diagnosis is made by identifying sensory signals, such as smell, sound, color, and emotion. Those who apply this method must have powerful senses.
The treatment is tailor-made, step by step, straightforward according to a clear pattern. By focusing on the CF, the balance can be restored, which is necessary for the well-being of body, mind, and soul.
A strong therapist-patient relationship is essential for Five Elements Acupuncture.
This traditional healing method is so beautiful because of the simplicity, depth, and elusiveness of the Elements.
