Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, as taught by J.R. and J.B. Worsley, is unique among the various types of traditional acupuncture. It doesn’t palliate symptoms. It derives its remarkable effectiveness by treating the Causative Factor (CF) of an illness. Relying on natural laws, it recognizes that the health of a person’s body, mind and spirit must be taken into account in order to fully diagnose the cause of an illness.
