Our Philosophy

About Kura Elements

Kura Elements’s mission is to provide holistic therapy to restore balance on physical, emotional, and spiritual level. We do this through a multi-modality approach that integrates western and eastern philosophies and techniques to diagnose and effectively treat various conditions according to Nature.

The underlying premise and foundational belief of Kura Elements is that the human body has its own “innate intelligence”. This is the core of the self-healing mechanism each of us have from Day 1. As such, our work is focused and dedicated to restoring and developing access to this “innate intelligence” in order to “reprogram” it to achieve optimal health.

Kura Elements provides natural solutions focusing on alleviating symptoms, strengthening the whole body whilst calming the nervous system and mind. The treatment strategy may consist of different techniques, from Chinese medicine including, but not limited to acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal formulas and tuina, to kinesiology, as well as targeted Qigong exercises for any condition. Moreover, addressing the root cause of dis-ease is a unique aspect of Japanese acupuncture.

Our Story

Origin of Kura Elements

Kura

The word “Kura” can be translated and interpreted in different ways; one common interpretation in Chinese and Japanese is that it translates to a ‘Treasure House’, or treasury. As part of the Daoist philosophy, it is about the  lifestyle and cultivation of the three treasures – the basic virtues of compassion, moderation and humility. With regards to a more Chinese Medicine perspective, the three treasures are translated as Jing, Qi and Shen.

Jing

Jing is the root of essence and life, the vitality

Qi

Qi is the life energy, physical movement, activity and transformation

Shen

Shen is the spirit, the light in the eyes, the thought in the heart

The “three treasures” is the base concept in the transformation of the
human body, here which I refer to a stanza from the Daoist ancient literature: 

“from one begins two, from two begins three and from three
begins the myriad of things”.

Whilst the rest of the myriad things are everything else expressed in life.

Cura

“Cura” –  with the same pronunciation but different spelling, means in my mother tongue Italian –  ‘to cure’.
This is what Kura Elements is about, curing is the practice through targeted treatments, allowing innate
intelligence to activate and heal the whole human system from the root of it all,
and not just alleviating symptoms temporarily.

Our Medicine

Japanese Acupuncture

Japanese acupuncture style, also called Meridian Therapy, is based on the same theories and fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is renowned for its gentle needling techniques, emphasizes pleasant and subtle treatments whilst providing healing and relaxation at the same time.

Diagnosis and assessment are based on palpation of the wrist pulse, on the abdominal palpation (Hara diagnosis), and the meridian examination along arms and legs. Each treatment is therefore individualised based upon diagnosis, signs and symptoms. 

Why Would You Choose Japanese Acupuncture?

Japanese acupuncture treatments include what is known as the “root and branch treatment”. This addresses not only the presented symptoms, but rather the whole body constitution, the original pattern of dis-ease and its related body structures and its core circulation systems, for a long lasting effect.

It is more gentle compared to other acupuncture styles, allowing the whole system to relax and achieve great results, The needles used are extremely fine, usually inserted quite shallowly, resulting in little to no pain sensations.

Often treatments are combined with moxibustion, a technique used that involves burning dried herb (mugwort) on specific points of the body to enhance the therapeutic effect. At Kura Elements, moxibustion is an art that is specialised and often a critical part of treatment.

The potency of skillfully combining acupuncture and moxibustion strengthens the whole constitution. This enhances qi and blood circulation, maintains general health and long lasting effects from the benefits achieved.
