About Pilar Valencia
Traditional Five Element Acupuncture is a powerful system of medicine designed to address patients on a body, mind and spirit level. Practiced for over 3000 years in China, the benefit of acupuncture treatment is now clearly recognized and well documented in western medical journals and in medical institutions across the United States.
Because of its relatively low cost and its noninvasive nature, acupuncture has become a highly popular form of complementary health care. In this gentle form of medicine, each treatment is designed uniquely to address imbalance as it is specifically experienced by each individual. Symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person in order to explore the root cause of an illness or imbalance.
ABOUT DR. VALENCIA
Pilar is a Medical Doctor graduated in 1985, in Colombia, South America. Former NIH Fellow Researcher at The National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 7 years. She received her Master’s of Acupuncture degree at The Traditional Acupuncture Institute , TAI SOPHIA, in Columbia, MD. She is certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist through the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association.
Pilar began acupuncture as a patient when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while pursuing her doctorate degree in her homeland; "the experience of being ill and having the opportunity to received acupuncture treatments changed my relationship to the medical field in which I was working, and I became more interested in alternative approaches to healing, such as how energy plays a role in health and wellness. "
After her recovery she decided to do research in the field of medical entomology. Soon after she came to the United States to do a post doctorate fellowship at the National Institutes of Health.
While at NIH she started treatments with a Five Element Acupuncture practitioner; 'Watching my acupuncturist work on me rekindled my interest in alternative approaches to health. I was fascinated by how such minute instruments could create such great changes in the body. I saw an impeccable technique with Five Element acupuncture, and I was attracted to the holistic aspect of my treatment. I decided I wanted to continue school this time pursuing a Master’s degree in acupuncture'.
