In small amounts, stress can be an important stimulant.
But when pressure becomes an integral part of our lives, we can feel sick, unhappy and anxious.
Long-term stress ends up harming and damaging the organs and weakening the immune system.
Stress is commonly treated with the use of medications, which in turn usually lead to several side effects.
But did you know that acupuncture is an effective, safe and totally drug-free treatment for stress symptoms?
In practice, few patients come to me to treat stress. What happens is that the person goes for another reason and, after a while in treatment, notices a feeling of well-being that he did not used to and concludes that he was stressed.
Acupuncture acts via the nerve path, so practically all needle applications lead to the release of substances like endorphins and serotonins, which have calming and antidepressant powers. In these cases, the stress goes away as a result of curing another problem.
And if you still think that acupuncture is painful and scary because it involves needles, know that in reality, most patients relax so much during the session that they even doze.
Each session is a stress-free program in itself!
