Assessment & Pulse Reading
Every session begins with a detailed pulse reading to identify which elements are out of balance.
Classical Five Element Therapy
Pulse Balancing — Classical Five Element Therapy
Pulse Balancing is a classical, single-needle technique rooted in the belief that the human body — like the universe itself — is made up of five elements. When these elements fall out of balance, the body responds with fatigue and discomfort. Pulse Balancing works to gently restore that balance at its root.
What Is Pulse Balancing?
One needle, placed precisely
The universe and the human body are both built from the five elements, or Pancha Boothas — Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Wood. Every organ in the body is governed by one of these elements.
Pulse Balancing uses a single, precisely placed needle to correct imbalances along the body’s energy pathways, restoring the natural flow of these elements.
Virtually pain-free
Gentle enough for patients of every age
Pancha Boothas
The Five Elements that govern your organs
Hover or tap any element to see what it governs. Each one maps to organs and functions the therapy works with directly.
Fire — governs metabolism and transformation
Earth — governs stability, digestion and grounding
Air — governs movement and circulation
Water — governs fluid balance and emotional flow
Wood — governs growth, flexibility and renewal
Characteristics
Read the signs before disease
Nature does not give us disease on day one. It first shows up as symptoms, in the body or in the mind. Interestingly, you can check for an imbalance on your own, without a pulse diagnosis, just by using the chart.
A person who has an imbalance in a particular element will show the characteristics listed inside that element’s circle, and may in future develop diseases related to its organs. If a person shows characteristics from more than one element, they have an imbalance in each of those elements.
So the chart is an indicator of the diseases that might occur in future. For example, fire always flames upward. A person with a fire imbalance always wants to rise in life, and when they don’t achieve it, it leads to frustration and, over time, depression. The organs affected are the heart and small intestine.
Soon the earth element is affected too, as earth is formed from fire. The person becomes content with whatever they have, as the nature of earth is contentment — they never take risks in life, stay the same, and always doubt whether they will succeed. The organs affected are the stomach and spleen. The cycle continues: the greater the imbalance, the more negative qualities appear, since each element has its own qualities.
