Use in Clinical Practice

There are various ways of using these special treatment blends in practice. Firstly, they work well when diffused in the background during treatment with a diffuser. They are especially effective for addressing the mental-emotional (Shen) aspect of treatment. They work equally well on short-term conditions as well as on the individual constitution. In fact, they are very complementary to Five-Element Constitutional Acupuncture.

The Five Element Blends can also be used directly on the Five Element antique points and on the back shu points with matching functions and indications, as well as when using energy-transfer and four-needle techniques.

These blends can also benefit clients and patients who wish to use them at home or at work, thereby extending the benefits of weekly treatment in the clinic. Inhalation of the blend will usually create a renewed experience of the positive benefits of the clinic treatment and will therefore reinforce those benefits until the next session
