Classical Five-Element Acupuncture
Oakham and Melton Mowbray
Welcome to Aelish Anderson Acupuncture
I’m a classical Five-Element Acupuncturist with a passion for helping people of all ages overcome physical and mental health challenges.
My work involves bringing people back home, out of their busy minds and into their bodies, to live a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.
Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is one of the oldest healthcare systems in the world, developed through continual practical experience over thousands of years. The core principle of treatment is that illness and pain arise when the body’s qi, or vital energy, and blood cannot flow freely. This energy flows through a network of channels, known as meridians, which run throughout the body and connect its systems.
By gently stimulating specific acupuncture points along these meridians, acupuncture helps clear energetic blockages, restoring the natural, harmonious flow of qi. As balance is restored, we regain vitality, feel more grounded, and are better equipped to navigate life’s challenges.
More about me
“When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.”
Lao Tzu
Five-Element Acupuncture is a unique system of medicine rooted in ancient classical theory.
It seeks to diagnose and treat the root cause of illness, rather than solely alleviating symptoms.
The core principles of Five Element Acupuncture are rooted in Daoism and the five fundamental elements of the natural world: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.
This practice recognises that the subtle qualities, movements and interrelationships we observe in nature also exist within us. Restoring balance in the elements promotes greater health and vitality, increased mental clarity, emotional well-being, as well as spiritual fulfillment.
My Approach
My treatments are thoughtfully tailored to the individual and take into account the complexity and uniqueness of every person. My approach is focused on supporting your potential for health, balance, and a deeper connection to self.
