Acupuncture may be a helpful complementary therapy for managing anxiety symptoms. Studies suggest it can reduce anxiety levels by stimulating the release of feel-good hormones and potentially lowering stress hormones like cortisol. While more research is ongoing, acupuncture has shown promise as an effective and safe alternative or adjunct to conventional anxiety treatments, with fewer side effects.
How Acupuncture May Help:
Hormone Regulation:
Acupuncture may stimulate the body's natural release of endorphins and other neurochemicals that promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Nervous System Reset:
By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture may help regulate the nervous system, potentially shifting it from a state of "fight-or-flight" to one of relaxation.
Mind-Body Connection:
Acupuncture emphasizes the connection between mind and body, potentially helping individuals to become more aware of their physical and emotional responses to stress.
