Stress and Anxiety

How Acupuncture Helps with Stress and Anxiety?

1. Balances the Nervous System

•  Acupuncture helps shift the body from “fight-or-flight” (sympathetic) to “restand-digest” (parasympathetic) mode.
• This calms heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces cortisol (the main stress hormone).

2. Regulates Neurotransmitters

• It can increase levels of serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins — all linked to mood regulation and relaxation.

3. Improves Sleep and Physical Tension

•  Many people report better sleep, muscle relaxation, and a greater sense of calm after sessions.
• Reducing physical tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw also decreases the body’s stress feedback loop.
