What is Classical Five Element Acupuncture?
Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, as taught by Professor J.R. 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 entire body, mind and spirit must be taken into account in order to fully diagnose the cause of an illness. Only then can the most effective help be offered so that people can regain their balance and health on all levels.
When we speak of Acupuncture, we are referring to Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, a complex system of healing which takes a considerable number of years to learn and very many more to gain experience and wisdom.
A practitioner of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture has certain aims in mind when treating a patient. These are:
- To treat the patient as a whole
- To seek the cause of the disease
- To correct the cause of the disease
- To help the patient to get well and stay well
It is important to say that in 99% of cases the needles are not left in. We will insert the needle gently just below the skin and when it has connected with your Qi/energy the needle is taken out. This process takes about 2-3 seconds. Also in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture the treatment usually takes an hour and we stay in the room with the patient all of this time - we do not leave the needles in and leave the patient alone in the room.
Classical Five Element Acupuncture is one of the safest, most comprehensive and far-reaching systems of healing in the world.

What our clients say...
One of “ The Greatest Days Of My Life “ was going to “ Classical Five Element Acupuncture “---I had no recommendations but had observed for some time the “ Sign “ for this form of Acupuncture with no idea of what it had to offer. Feeling quite fragile and exhausted after experiencing a number of devastating family losses over a period of 5years----I decided---“ I will give this a try “---------------What a wonderful decision for me to make.I found the treatment from Declan ( who is so dedicated ) so uplifting that I had felt similar to what a “ Grand Piano “ must feel been finely tuned by a Master. I was equally fascinated by the 1hr session which was constantly focused on working with the patient.( this is very unique and unheard of in Western Medicine ).He certainly helped lift me to my feet when my wings had trouble remembering how to fly. The winter look left my face and the sun and laughter came back into my life. I could see and hear better.
I have been so enriched by meeting this man and his form of Medicine. I will continue to “Top Up “ to help maintain this great Mind, Body, Spirit Balance---If I had one wish---It would be that others could experience the profound sense of well being that this has brought into my life.

Spring is in the air! The burst of activity which surges out of the stillness of winter has no equal elsewhere in the year; new energy and dynamic growth pours out bringing life and vigour to everything. The colours of the daffodils and crocuses and the cherry blossom are a relief after the stark and bleak outlines of the winter horizon. Spring lambs are starting to emerge jumping around the fields as they do! So this is a time of growth birth hope and new life. The ancient Chinese observed that the same dynamic that is in nature is within us - we are part of nature and experience the same yearly cycle inside ourselves - spring energy manifests in us as the Wood Element.
