Acupuncture can be very powerful at treating stress and emotional problems. Living with these can at times be debilitating or can lead to many physical symptoms.

Stress is often a contributing factor to why individuals become ill. Increasing people are coming to acupuncture to help with a variety of complaints and to help manage their stress levels . When people can relax , other complains often disappear or are greatly lessened.

No two people experience stress in the same way. One person may feel anxious and on edge, always on the go, finding it hard to slow down and get to sleep at night. Another person’s stress may manifest itself through a lack of energy, worrying, feeling sick, high blood pressure, angry outbursts, headaches or IBS symptoms.

Studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce cortisol, the human stress hormone, and can also increase the endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers. This relaxes us and make us feel at ease. Not only is the treatment immediately relaxing but the effects are long lasting as the individual’s energy becomes stronger and more balanced .

Every person is different and will have a unique experience. Every treatment  will be tailored to your needs. Please ring me if you want to talk more about your specific problem.
