 This is a beautiful book March 21, 1999

I gave Dianne Connelly's book on the Five Elements to my mother, an artist, because it clearly describes the art of Chinese medicine. It lifts the veil from the mysteries of a healing tradition that expresses a deep respect for nature and wellness. The British school of acupuncture often looks deeper than quick-fix Chinese medicine by reaching for the source of imbalance.. It is well worth looking in to. I recommend it to readers of ASIAN HEALTH SECRETS and anyone interested in PERSONAL RENEWAL.
A Valuable Resource for Five Element Acupuncture June 5, 2000

This book should be required reading for any acupuncture student. Ms. Connelly's thesis provides important and difficult-to-find information on Five Element Acupuncture. Her book is well-written and easy to understand. The case study and vignettes offer a unique glimpse into this type of treatment. As a student of acupuncture and chinese medicine, I found it to be a highly valuable resource.

I have found this book to be very helpful in my research as both a practitioner of acupressure and Qigong. This book will help explain a very detailed, yet simplistic view of the five element system. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the five elements as per wood, fire, earth, metal, and water were used as a model in which to diagnosis and treat illnesses and diseases. This is only part of the TCM system, but it gives a good insight for those wishing to learn many of the association related to all of the elements. There is a very small section on pulse diagnosis, but that can be picked up in the book entitled, "Pulse Diagnosis" by Li Shi Zhen. There are also a few five element charts that are useful for referencing.
 Good, basic info. on five element acupuncture practice December 3, 1998
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
There's surprisingly little info. "out there" about five element acupuncture, first taught by J.R. Worsley, originally of the U.K. This book provides some of the only written info. you'll find, and because of that, is fairly helpful. If more were written, this book might seem kind of basic/generic, but there's an absolute paucity of available info., so it's actually very helpful, by default. The author studied with J.R. Worsley in England, and breaks down what the five elements are like re: health and treatment through this unusual, rare form of acupuncture.
