πͺ‘ In this week's episode What Is Five Element Acupuncture?!, the hosts elaborate further on Five Element Acupuncture, a unique approach to medicine. Ben starts by asking Gabriella about the basics of acupuncture, the insertion of needles into specific points on the body to influence the flow of Qi and restore health. Gabriella, with over 20 years of experience in Five Element Acupuncture, describes its focus on observing how nature manifests in individuals.
They touch upon the differences between Five Element Acupuncture and other acupuncture styles, noting the emphasis on treating the root cause rather than just symptoms. They discuss the multitude of acupuncture points and the idea that treating the individual's underlying imbalance can address multiple symptoms simultaneously.
In the second part, the hosts hypothesise on how the points and meridian system might have been discovered. They also touch upon the transition of Five Element Acupuncture from the East to the West, crediting JR Worsley for popularising it in Western countries. Ben, whose late grandfather was JR Worsley, and Gabriella, who has extensive training in this tradition, share anecdotes about him and the challenges he faced in promoting acupuncture during a time when it was often regarded as quackery.
