There are several points especially in the ear, which can reduce anxiety…Best to get to the root of your anxiety in order to heal it….Eliminating sugary foods and sweets, walking daily, getting at least 7 hours of restful sleep, deep breathing, gentle Yoga, meditation all can help too…

Good afternoon,

There are couple set of acupuncture points for anxiety. For example, SP6, SP9, STO 36, STO 35. Because anxiety may be caused by different problems, therefore, the point is different. Please also ask your acupuncturist.

There isn’t one easy point for anxiety, other than pressing the third eye between the eyebrows. But a good technique for calming yourself is to rub your palms together until they create some heat and put one palm over the heart and one palm underneath the navel. Close your eyes and tune into the heat created under the palms, connecting them in your mind’s eye.

Warmly,

Natalie Ramsey, MS LAc

Anxiety may be due to various causes and the treatment will depend on the cause. One general anxiety point (Yin yang) is on the glabella, AKA the "third eye." It is located between the eyebrows in the depression on the forehead’s skull & the eyebrow bones. One can depress it for several minutes, they say 300-500 stimulations per minute.

Live Happy,

Michael

Try one above your nose, in between your two eyes.

There is no individual pressure point to relieve shoulder pain. Acupuncture is a holistic medicine that looks at the whole body, and any individual issue in relation to the whole picture. The pressure points unique to your anxiety would be different than those for someone else - it would take an appointment with a provider to diagnose you specifically and give you a plan.

You can use Yin Tang and P6. Look those up on Google for location. Also go to YouTube and look up meditation for anxiety. Practice.

In the sense that you are really asking me to diagnose and prescribe a point to fix your symptoms without knowing anything about you, no. In the sense that can this medicine, and a fully trained person applying it to you, help you, then yes.

I don't know of any pressure point for anxiety. Acupuncture is much more complicated than finding the buttons on the body that do this or that.

There is no one single acupressure point for anxiety. There are many points all over the body for anxiety. No one acupressure point is going to take away anxiety.
