Overall Mental Wellbeing
Acupuncture has been found to be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety, thus promoting overall mental wellbeing. Acupuncture can help by:
Stress Reduction: Acupuncture can help reduce stress by promoting relaxation and reducing the body's "fight or flight" response. Acupuncture can rebalance the nervous system and release endorphins, helping to calm and quiet the mind
Anxiety Relief: Acupuncture can regulate neurotransmitters associated with anxiety, creating a sense of calm and emotional stability. After a treatment, most patients feel a sense of calm and reduction in anxiety, which can increase with continued treatment
Improved Sleep: Chronic stress and anxiety can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and other sleep-related issues. See more info here on improving sleep
Address Compulsive Behaviour: Acupuncture has successfully been used to treat addictions and compulsive behaviour
Balanced Mood: Acupuncture aims to balance the body's energy flow, which can help regulate mood and emotions. By addressing imbalances in the body, acupuncture may contribute to a more stable and positive outlook
Complementary Therapy: Acupuncture can be used alongside medication, counselling and psychotherapy and other holistic treatment options
