Do you suffer from Anxiety or Depression?

Here at Beautiful You our specialist nurse Kim offers Acupuncture for mental health with over 25 years of experience in acupuncture and 40 years nursing experience.

Acupuncture can benefit these conditions by :-
+ acting on areas of the brain known to reduce sensitivity to pain
+ promoting relaxation and de-activating the ‘analytical’ brain, which is responsible for anxiety and worry (Hui 2010)
+ regulating levels of neurotransmitters and hormones such as serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine thereby altering the brains mood chemistry (Lee 2009 Samuels 2008 and Yuan 2007)
+ stimulating production of our own natural opioids (pain killers) helping to initiate the relaxation response (Arranz 2007)
