Stress Anxiety Depression

Numerous studies have demonstrated the substantial benefits of acupuncture in the treatment of stress, anxiety & depression.


Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can significantly alleviate and even eliminate:
·        Anxiety and anxiety attacks
·        Depression
·        Emotional distress
·         A wide range of physical symptoms caused by stress

Stress is experienced by everyone in a variety of ways.  The bottom line is that with stress, our body’s chemistry and hormones are set to fight and or run.  For many of us this never lets up which is when all kinds of emotional, mental, and physical problems start occurring. 

How does Acupuncture and Herbal medicine reduce Stress symptoms? Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system which changes the chemistry of the body.  Studies have shown that with needle placement in certain areas, (even just the ears!) that the ‘fight or Flight’ action of our sympathetic nervous system will essentially back off. 

 When that happens, the chemistry of our parasympathetic nervous system kicks in.  That chemistry provides a sense of release, resolve, and calm.  Pain is often resolved or significantly reduced and Healing and balance is taking on all levels; physically, mentally and
emotionally.
