Five Elements Acupuncture
27&28 September
Mei Long
Five Element Acupuncture is a self-contained, independent classical school of acupuncture.
Core theoretical principle: Every person possesses all Five Elements, but one element is inherently dominant. This inborn and lifelong dominance is the primary factor governing health and disease.
Diagnosis and treatment revolve around the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
Unique diagnostic skill (Element assessment): Relies entirely on sensory cues rather than symptoms.
Treatment is simple, with gentle stimulation, yet yields profound results. It addresses both body and mind through a holistic approach, and places particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship – valuing the attitude, awareness and perceptiveness of practitioners as well as patients.
- Mei LongMei Long studied in China and has about 30 years’ clinical experience in traditional Chinese medicine. Trained by Nora Franglen, she has specialized in Five Element Acupuncture (5EA) and was the first person to take it back to China, where it had been lost.
As vice president of the China Five Element Acupuncture Society, Mei Long has been engaged in running seminars and training acupuncturists in China over the last ten years.
Since 2003 Mei Long has run her own practice in classical Chinese medicine in Leusden in the Netherlands, where she receives patients from all over the world.

Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA)
Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA) is an acupuncture technique invented in 1975 by Professor Zhang Xinshu. WAA involves the stimulation of 12 acupuncture points located in the wrist and ankle through the insertion of subcutaneous needles that are left in place and crusted over. It is a completely painless technique and is widely used in clinical practice, particularly for musculoskeletal disorders, but also for internal medicine in combination with somatic acupuncture. During the seminar, the main applications of this method will be illustrated, and a lot of attention and space will be given to the practical part and the methodology of needle insertion.
