SUMMER: ACUPUNCTURE AND THE FIRE ELEMENT Summer is officially here.  Days are longer and typically filled with sunshine.  The season brings with it abundant energy, growth, and fun-filled activities. In traditional Chinese medicine, five element theory, acupuncture and eastern philosophy, this season is considered to be in the fire element.  It is the time of year for acupuncture treatments to focus on balancing this element. All elements in acupuncture have corresponding meridians or organs and the fire element consists of the heart and the small intestine.  The fire element is primarily governed by the heart.  In fact, in Chinese medicine, the heart is considered to be the ruler, much like a queen or king.  The heart may represent our relationship to ourselves and to others. https://vimeo.com/343954725 In western medicine,...
