Stress, anxiety, depression and panic attacks have reached epidemic proportions in modern society, with many of us suffering from chronic levels of stress over many years – to the point that we may no longer even realise it.
Acupuncture for stress, anxiety and depression is an approach which has been proven to be effective in re-setting the body’s natural energy flow and significantly reducing the physical and emotional effects of living life on a constant psychological knife-edge.
Stress, anxiety, depression and other strong emotions interrupt the flow of energy throughout the body. Acupuncture aims to address these energy blockages and establish a smooth flow of energy, alleviating not only the symptoms of stress and anxiety but the stress and anxiety itself.
By releasing endorphins – the brain’s natural pain-killing chemicals – acupuncture improves body chemistry and has a positive effect on the circulation of blood throughout the body. This oxygenates the tissues, cycling out cortisol and other waste chemicals.
