So how can acupuncture help?
Acupuncture places tiny needles into certain points of the body to help ease certain issues. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine that is believed to help release tension or blockages in someone’s energy. Those energy blockages are believed to cause illnesses in the body and acupuncture can release them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4358″ img_size=”400×400″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In relation to anxiety, acupuncture is used to release the tension which is built up by those feelings. The point in which the acupuncture needles are placed could be the breastbone, between your eyebrow, or the insides of your wrists.
A study in 2015 showed that acupuncture lessened the symptoms of anxiety overall and even after stopping treatments. They also did brain scans on the individuals who tried acupuncture to relieve their anxiety symptoms and found that it normalized signals in the limbic system. If you don’t know what the limbic system is, it is the body’s fight-or-flight response.
