Acupuncture for Anxiety and Stress

When troubled with anxiety and stress, acupuncture can calm the body's

adrenaline and sympathetic nervous system and re-establish a sense of

harmony and balance within the body. Studies also show that acupuncture

can help by activating the vagus nerve, a part of the parasympathetic

nervous system. By stimulating the vagus nerve, patients may experience

reduced heart rates and slower breathing patterns while experiencing a

sense of calm.

Activating a persons parasympathetic system is a key component of

somatic, or body-focused, treatment for anxiety disorders impacted by

chronic stress and trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Studies have also shown that acupuncture lowers the body's cortisol, known

as "the stress hormone.

"The treatment thus impacts the biological underpinnings of the stress response both acutely and for chronic states of anxiety and hyperarousal."

While techniques vary, specific acupuncture techniques and points, such as

Yin Tang, located between the eyebrows, can often help streamline your

body' s psychic processes.

As such, regular acupuncture sessions can often help harmonize the mind and body, enabling sustained well-being.
