Treating Stress
Acupuncture uses little needles placed at specific pressure points in your body to activate the natural healing processes of your body to permit “Qi” energy to transfer unhampered. One of the conditions that traditional Chinese healing art has been helpful for is stress relief.
Our world today is packed with factors that can create stress, from our jobs up to our home life. No matter what the stressors, they generally revealed themselves in various symptoms. The most frequent including pain and tension on our spine, shoulders and neck. There are also individuals who get headaches and high blood pressure.
Acupuncture for anxiety and stress can alleviate the stress, making you restful and less tight. In addition it can assist in the enhancement of blood flow all over your body, adding to your stress relief.
Over time there have been a variety of variations of pressure application for stress and anxiety relief that have developed. A few of them are:
Ear Acupuncture
This is from a French practice in which they think that the ear is linked up to numerous parts of the body. So whenever a component of the ear is triggered (or stuck with a needle, in this case), a portion of a brain that takes care of that specific body area is triggered. Also referred to as ear auricular therapy, it has the ability to efficiently address stress and emotional disorders. Ear acupuncture experts usually tape ear seeds (which can be left for three days) on your ear so you can merely press on these points when you are in need of stress relief.
Scalp Acupuncture
This is a contemporary acupuncture strategy where the needles are inserted underneath the scalp. Patients are going to experience a powerful sensation but it should not be painful. This will activate specific parts of the brain to give relief from stress, specifically when it is integrated with conventional acupuncture on the limbs and body.
Esoteric Acupuncture
This is a newer system of acupressure that will open up, straighten and stabilize your “chakras” (if you have taken or even know yoga, you should know what this means). It may be far from conventional, but has the ability to offer very effective results with releasing emotional stress. It can also assist you develop spiritually and personally so you can deal with the reasons for your stress and do away with it for good.
The idea of getting many needles throughout the body might itself be stressful. So we encourage you to make an appointment for a free consultation so you can ask questions and better understand acupuncture to ally your fears and anxiety.
