Acupuncture for Stress Management
Acupuncture for Stress
Acupuncture can help to relieve stress by regulating the nervous system, releasing endorphins, and improving blood circulation. Stimulating the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers and mood boosters helps to alleviate tension, improve mood, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Acupuncture has been shown to alleviate stress by simply encouraging the body to relax by balancing the stress response and the relaxation response. It is believed that when the body is in a deeply relaxed state, it can more efficiently facilitate its own healing. By regularly experiencing this relaxation response, we can better handle those stress triggering moments. Acupuncture trains the mind and body to respond in ways that are beneficial for reducing stress and calming the mind and body.
