Acupuncture for Stress Relief

Stress

At one time or another, most of us experience stress. Feeling stress is a healthy response to events in our lives that are beyond our control. The stress response stems from the physical “fight or flight” syndrome that all animals experience when in dangerous or life-threatening situations. If this stress is chronic and consistent there can be long term physical and mental effects. Traditional Chinese medicine has been used to relieve stress for centuries.

Anxiety

Anxiety may occur with long-term or chronic stressful situations. Chronic overthinking, overworry, or racing thoughts can lead to a panic disorder or anxiety attack. Similar to stress reactions, they can cause physical symptoms that over time can create imbalance and ultimately disease. There are treatments that quiet the mind and calm the Shen. These points work immediately, and can have a calming effect for several days.   More about

Cosmetic Accupuncture 

What is cosmetic acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial or facial rejuvenation acupuncture, uses acupuncture needles and other tools of Chinese medicine to improve the skin and assist the aging process. It is a natural, minimally invasive alternative to treatments such as Botox, chemical peels and face-lift surgeries. 

How does it work?

This treatment works as an anti-aging treatment in that insertion of needles into specific areas can help to promote collagen production, in part by increasing blood flow to the area and stimulating the body’s repair system. As a result, a multitude of symptoms and conditions can be improved: wrinkles and fine lines, sagging skin, puffy and/or sunken eyes, age spots and other discoloration, and lift droopy eyes and mouth corners. It should be noted that facial acupuncture can also be a great treatment for those facing acne or other skin conditions of the face for the same reasons above; facial acupuncture can help reduce active inflammation of the face as well as fade scars. 

This treatment uses points 

This treatment uses points over the entire body to help to directly aid in the improvement of the appearance of the face as well as increase overall well-being and internal health, much like a regular acupuncture session would. Each treatment is individualized for the patient and their specific concerns and health.
