Asa Hershoff

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Asa is a holistic doctor, author, mentor and architect of the Elemental Psychology and 5-Element Energy Healing system of mindbody healing and transformation.

His synthesis of the best of global and trans-cultural systems of psychology, Eastern wisdom, Western science and energy healing has created an effective solution to the avalanche of problems that confront us in today's world. Integrating universal truths from G.I Gurdjieff, Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism, Daoism, Jung, Joseph Campbell and homeopathic typology, he has established The 5 Wisdoms as an accurate guide to our human journey towards wholeness.

The Mission

"Life on this planet has never been easy. But now we are facing personal and global challenges that are truly unprecedented. My life mission is to share the vision, insights and very practical tools I have discovered. There is an ocean of methods, systems, ideas and puzzle pieces out there. Yet I feel that the core truths have been missed, and in spite of the patchwork quilt of self-help available, the path to wholeness remains unclear. The 5 Wisdoms is a veritable Human Code, the fulfillment of a lifelong wish to re-empower others and help them live the vibrant, meaningful life that is their birthright. And the 5 Elements are truly the elusive and missing template of the human psyche, our biological selves and our spiritual possibilities."

Healing Career

Born in Toronto, Canada, Asa was inspired by the remarkable naturopathic physician and medical intuitive, Dr. John LaPlante to enter the healing arts. Graduating from Chiropractic College, he went on to found the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, along with his mentor, in 1978. This changed the face of Canadian health care and to date this accredited institution has graduated thousands of naturopathic doctors, who continue to help patients all over Canada and the US, to heal themselves with natural, safe and powerful holistic medicine.

Having practiced in Toronto, Los Angeles and New York for 40 years, Asa now travels extensively with a global clientele. Focusing on various forms of bioenergy healing and classical homeopathy, he continues to refine his understandings of human nature and the connection between spiritual and psychological development.

Writings & Teachings

Dr. Hershoff is author of three books on natural medicine, focusing on homeopathy and herbal medicine. Current works in progress include 5 Element Energy Healing, Elemental Psychology, and The 5 Wisdoms. He has lectured and given courses extensively, focusing on homeopathy, 5 Element Healing and Elemental Psychology

He can be reached at www.the5Wisdoms.com as a hub of his books and ideas or through his medical website www.drasahershoff.com or 5-element course website www.5eeh.com

5 out of 5 stars
Great reference guide
This is a really nice homeopathic reference book. It explains homeopathy in an understandable way. I like how the author talks about and diagrams the body systems, and then gives more detail about specific complaints/symptoms and how to pick a remedy that matches. This is useful for treating acute conditions. More complex chronic conditions are recommended to consult with an experienced homeopath. I wish he included a materia medica section describing the remedies in more detail, but this is a great intro reference guide. I also wish the index were more detailed to indicate what the pages are in reference to. But that is a minor annoyance. This book is a good addition to my small homeopathic collection.

    People are always stating things like "nonsense" or trying to preach how it is simply 'sugar pills' or 'placebo'. I can state that my family is very conservative and believes in going to doctors. They believe that medicine heals and honestly didn't so much question the medicine since it was considered 'medicine'. Alot of quotes, I know.

    Yet, despite all criticism and disbelief:

    - My wife of 12-years *now* has a working treatment for her post-menstrual migraines which occur monthly. Three globules under the tongue and within 10-minutes the headache is gone. Every month, like clockwork.
    - My children have not been in to the doctor's office due to illness in 2-years now. After beginning homeopathic treatment we removed my son from daily Omeprazole(Prilosec) - which is a common treatment for recurring ear infections and the usual stomach issues. Homeopathic treatment cured him of constant ear infections.
    - My son was also being treated for MRSA (inside the ear) which is contracted in the hospital at birth. The first two-years of his life he had been prescribed 49 rounds of antibiotics which never cured the MRSA. He had 3-sets of ear tubes, adenoids removed, and one additional 5th surgery to attempt a cleaning and clearing of the MRSA. Our ENT doctor (ear nose and throat), the pediatric doctor, family doctor, and even St. Jude's top doctors could not cure the MRSA. My poor child has lost hearing in his ear and we are simply praying that he doesn't have any long-term damage that will show up in the future - to his kidneys, liver, etc. (All due to the antibiotics)

    ** I began researching homeopathy and within two-weeks my son's MRSA was cured. His ears stopped draining, his pain stopped, and the child - for the first time in his life could hear my voice without sounding as if he was underwater. I hold homeopathy with the highest honor possible - it saved my child's life. The ENT doctor's have since began using the very treatment I used on my son and are publishing results.

    It treats colds, flu, allergies, congestion, MRSA, bacterial infections, and I even saved my newest dog of Parvo with it. (Not because we didn't vaccinate - this is another story...)

    *** A pug was dropped off at the local shelter and the family simply didn't want it they said... We adopted the dog 3-days later and he was vaccinated again for everything (since noone was sure if he was ever vaccinated in his lifetime). The pug is 8-months old. We brought him home and within 24-hours he was vomiting profusely, terrible diarrhea, and lethargy. A visit to the vet resulted in them finding worms in the fecal sample - likely caught from the animal shelter. They dewormed the dog and we brought it back home with the idea he would be much better the next day.
    * Day 2: The dog is in worse shape than the day before. Called the vet and they want the dog brought in again as he should have been recovering and back to his old self at least 50% of the way after the shot of de-wormer and anti-nausea provided. They realize something else is wrong and run a distemper/parvo test. Distemper was negative but parvo was positive. How can this be? Apparently, parvovirus takes 4-5 days to incubate and show symptoms. Additionally, it may not show up on tests until that time.

    Our guess is the previous owners never vaccinated the dog and he was exposed to parvo upon being dropped at the shelter. The timeline fits, now we have a new pup with parvo. The vet offers 3 options: Euthanize, provide just support (fluids) hope he gets better, or throw everything at it and treat him with Tamiflu and other meds.

    We opted for the third but 36-hours later he was just as bad, if not worse. Between the worms and parvo - his intestinal tract was in terrible shape and simply wasn't going to make it....

    Day 4 (PM): So I begin researching and beg the vet to let me visit him and give it another 48-hours. My family visited the dog and to the veterinarian's (near-laughing response to homeopathic suggestion) I gave the dog a high dose of homeopathic treatment for the bacterial infection (possible sepsis) and for the parvovirus (flu treatment) - as well as a third-dose for the diarrhea and vomiting.

    Day 5 (AM): Veterinarian calls and states that his diarrhea has stopped, still has not eaten but was keeping down water. Appeared to be in better spirits and despite all odds - honestly looks like he's recovering. I come in and repeat the doses once again.

    Day 6 (AM): Veterinarian releases the dog to us after he had eaten and had a bowel movement. That was two-weeks ago and our healthy little pug is happy to be here with us. Homeopathy saved his life.

    Now those are two ridiculously long stories but they all come to a point. Homeopathic medicine works and people honestly don't have to believe it. I just ask they try it - try it and see. Then make your judgement.

    On to this book: This book is excellent! I am always referring to this book and Andrew Lockie's Family Guide - these are two of the best homeopathic books out there. If you own a homeopathic book - this is the one for you.

    ***Another note: It's not necessarily homeopathic but we have also treated multiple staph infections within family or recommended to friends - all with 100% effective results - with Manuka Honey (16+) - for external staph infections on the skin - Manuka honey can provide a cure within 48-hours. (Sadly this didn't work with my son since his was deep within his neck - but on the skin, don't use antibiotics as a first treatment. Use Manuka Honey first - if it doesn't work, then use antibiotics.
    I hope someone finds this information useful and I wish you all the best of luck.

    Hands down, this is my absolute FAVORITE homeopathy book: Homeopathic Remedies: A Quick and Easy Guide to Common Disorders. It is so easy and descriptive that a 10 year-old AND husband can look and find a remedy that matches their symptoms. My husband was not interested until I wasn't home to help him one day. Even he, with real close to zero knowledge of homeopathy, was able to find correct remedies within the first one or two remedies that he found. Now he opens the book himself. PROOF, this is a great book! For those new to homeopathy, this is a PHENOMENAL book with so much information in the front of the book to LEARN how to understand dosing and so much more. I love the diagrams and quick information pages. This book should be in every home!

  • Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2010
    This book is an exceptional introduction to the world of homeopathy.
    It begins with a detailed explanation of the concepts behind this form of medicine, including the systems of the body, definitions of disease and injury, types of pain and much more. It also include basic information that correlates to all homeopathic remedies, including dosing information and contraindications. The system of dosing homeopathics can be a little confusing at first, as it comes across as a bit "backwards" (a lower number being a more concentrated tincture), and this book does an excellent job of explaining this system in a reader-friendly way.

    After the numerous introductory articles, this book contains an "A-Z Prescriber" that is indispensable as a household reference. It covers mental, emotional and physical diseases, from stress to bleeding to infections and SO much more. Under each disease section, it covers a list of all the different potential remedies, with detailed explanations of the variations in symptoms that indicate one may work better than another- there are no "one size fits all" diagnoses or remedies in homeopathy.

    As a parent, I can sleep better knowing I have this book on hand. I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where these substances are relatively easy to come by, so I have the peace of mind knowing that if my daughter has a problem, I can quickly identify the best way to help her. There is a whole section on children's diseases, from colic to chickenpox, ear infections and more.

    My experiences thusfar with homeopathy have been incredible. In one instance, I slammed my finger in a sliding door so hard that it started bleeding underneath my nail, and there was a clear dark line across the entire nail. I was almost certain I was going to lose the nail, and my finger swelled up a good 5x its normal size. Enter Arnica... I applied Arnica gel to my entire finger twice that day. The swelling was completely eliminated in less than an hour, and the trapped blood began to shift and partially clear within a day. Within 2 days, the dark line has disappeared and there was just one small pocket of blood, which grew out with my nail and left no trace of the injury. I was quite impressed.

    My second confirmation of homeopathy's authenticity came in the form of teething medicine. My daughter was cutting 5 teeth at the same time, and, understandably, quite miserable. I purchased a homeopathic teething gel from my local Whole Foods, which contained a combination of pain relieving and calming plant extracts. I happened to be cutting a wisdom tooth myself, so I tried it out on my tooth to see if it was any good. I was amazed that it offered faster and better relief than Orajel or similar allopathic products. It didn't completely numb my gums, just took the pain away, completely! So of course I offered it to the baby, who was instantly soothed and slept, well, like a baby :)

    And my third testament to homeopathy is my experience with baby's first ear infection. I'm rather wary of antibiotics, as I have done a vast amount of research on antibiotic resistance and childhood ear infections, and recognize that 1. antibiotics increase the reccurance of ear infections because they suppress the immune system; 2. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 80% of ear infections will clear up with no treatment; and 3. in studies, antibiotics only shortened the length of the infection by one day.
    So I purchased a bottle of Dr. Sears recommended homeopathic ear drops, and I was blown away by the results. She had been completely inconsolable, screaming, kicking, running away and pulling on her ears. Within a minute of putting the drops in her ears, she stopped crying, smiled and gave me a big hug! We used the drops every 8 hours for 2 days- and that quick, the infection was gone. I remember taking a 2 week course of amoxycillin for an ear infection at the age of 11, and that didn't even work. 2 days instead of 2 weeks? No side effects? Yes please.

    All of the above remedies are congruent with the prescriber in this book.
    I will also add that this book covers some topics you might not expect- vaccine detoxification (helping eliminate the mercury and formaldehyde used as preservatives in vaccines from your body), reproductive issues like ovarian cysts, uterine hemorrhage... a lot of things you wouldn't expect.

    This book is excellent, the only thing it lacks is detailed explanations of what each remedy is, where it comes from and how it works. I understand this book is about the ailment of your body, not the herbs itself, and would be 3x the size and 3x the price if it also included detailed information on the substances themselves. I'm currently looking for the perfect "counterpart" to this book, a book about the tinctures themselves. In the meantime, the internet does suffice :) I will update my review with a product link when I find the right one.

    So in a nutshell, I absolutely recommend this book and it should be on every family's bookshelf- or medicine cabinet!
