The degree brings together two schools of practice: Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Elda's approach to help and healing places a strong emphasis on understanding the root cause of each patient's imbalances, allowing her to treat a wide variety of conditions by:
- diagnosing both the person and the complaint
- determining lifestyle factors that may contribute to the imbalance
- creating and implementing an effective course of treatment.
A course of acupuncture may be accompanied by:
- cupping
- remedial massage
- moxibustion
- gua-sha
- infrared heat lamp.
