With more than 50% of Americans coping with some sort of treatment for anxiety, more and more are seeking out alternative treatment methods. In some cases, Western pharmaceuticals cannot be avoided, but, more often than not, the root of the problem is some imbalance within ourselves.
While most acupuncture research is controversial (a topic for another day), one thing that most people can agree on, is that acupuncture releases endorphins (happy hormones) into the bloodstream. Happy people are calmer people, see how that might help?? While the immediate effect of acupuncture can be very calming and relaxing, the lasting effect is where anxiety sufferers can really find solace.
Acupuncture is like stretching. You can do it once and feel great, but if you do it on a regular basis the effects are longer lasting. This could not be more true for anxiety sufferers. With regular treatments, patients can expect a balancing of their qi which will leave them calmer, more even tempered, and with a better ability to manage stressors and anxiety triggers.
Once symptoms are managed, patients can begin to space out their treatments (bi-weekly, monthly, etc) and move to a maintenance schedule. Some people can achieve total relief, while others are prone to certain imbalances. We all know that one person who always gets a cold, or who is always nervous, or gets headaches, we all have our "thing", which is what makes maintenance treatments necessary.
Being able to take back control of your body without regular medication is the goal, and it is my belief most, if not all, people can achieve this.
