Acupuncture For Mental Wellness

Most people associate acupuncture to alleviating pain, but did you know acupuncture can promote mental and emotion wellbeing?

A person is a whole-being with a mind/body connection. Think of the expression of feeling sick to your stomach when you are upset; you can see the physical response to when you are emotionally not feeling well.

Acupuncture can help with stress relief, depression, anxiety, mood fluctuations, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

An acupuncturist will take a comprehensive intake and assess were the blockage or imbalance of Qi (chi) is occurring. Qi is the vital energy that flows throughout the body and protects it from illness or pain.

When chi becomes stagnant or depressed, physical or mental imbalances result. It the practitioner’s job to support and restore the integrity of the organs effected by chi imbalance.

Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free, and natural approach to addressing mental imbalances. The focus of treatment is to restore balance through a continuous flow of Qi throughout the body and mind.

Acupuncture is not a quick-fix; typically, treatments are recommended one to two times per week with a gradual decrease in frequency over time.

For lasting results, most individuals need around ten treatments. Acupuncture is helpful in treating adults as well as children and is safe for all ages.
