The American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine is leveraging the power of collective health data to create an innovative way to predict a users organ's strengths and weaknesses.
The Five Element Theory is a system that organizes all natural phenomena into five major groups or patterns in nature. Each of the five groups—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—include categories such as a season, direction, stage of growth and development, internal organ, body tissue, emotion, taste, color, sound, and much more. In regards to organs and their relationship to health, each element is “responsible” for the functions of the body. This means that if an organ is unhealthy, it is common to see all of its responsibilities suffer at the same time or in sequence. For example, people are often siblings to others, employees to companies, parents to their children, and children to their parents. If they get severely sick, all of those relationships will be impacted at the same time.
Acupuncture has been utilized as a treatment for over 5,000 years. Modern science has just begun to unlock some of the wisdom and treatments with the support of new studies. ACAOM is combining Eastern Traditional Medicine with the modern practices of western medicine and technologies to tackle some of the most common ailments.
