Apart from being potentially the oldest personality test known to man, the 5 Element Theory of acupuncture helps you understand yourself at a much deeper level by offering not only a comprehensive analysis of your mind-body-soul identity, but also by providing a complete system to follow to live your life in better alignment.

Yin and Yang provide a framework for understanding nature at both a micro and macro level. On a more philosophical level, this theory shows us that at a larger scale, everything is always balancing and changing to create a perfect state of harmony, and despite constant movement and fluctuation we are always living in that harmony. For TCM, this helps practitioners understand health and diagnose illnesses, as well as provide treatments.
