Yes.
Yes, very effective. The mechanism is very complicated. In Chinese Medicine emotion is not only related nerve system but also related to liver, heart and spleen, especially, liver functions etc. Each acupoint can acts on multiple organs at the same time. In modern words, acupuncture can regulate and adjust the level of multiple neurotransmitters synergistically, resulting in profound effects on nerve system and multiple other organs at the same time. Most patients experience significant relief of stress and anxiety with acupuncture management.
Absolutely.

Hello,
Acupuncture can be very helpful at helping to calm the mind amidst stressful situations. Oftentimes with stress, our bodies respond by producing too much cortisol and this can create a number of physical symptoms that acupuncture can help regulate.

Acupuncture is phenomenal for addressing stress! It’s one of the main conditions I see in clinic. Not only can acupuncture help with stress, it also helps to improve quality and length of sleep and boost immunity, both of which can be negatively effected by stress.
Thank you for your question.
Yes, acupuncture can be helpful for stress, is the short answer. The question is, whether it is a safe time for a new treatment with a new provider. Versus at home yoga, breathing, meditation, or plain old exercise or walking.
Hope you find the support you deserve and need.
Kind regards,

Acupuncture works fantastically for stress! But some stressors we can't escape from, like work. But you can do your part to help alleviate stress by doing a few things. One, you can practice some sort of internal exercise; yoga, tai chi, qi Gong, meditation, etc. That will help with the extent to which you feel the stress and how well you handle it. Two, you can avoid sugar and caffeine that may raise your blood sugar (cortisol levels) and blood pressure and make your perception of a stressful situation more intense. Three, you can have relaxation techniques on hand to help you combat the stress when it comes on. Such as squeezing a stress ball, taking 10 deep breaths, in through the nose, out through the mouth, having some soothing pictures on your desk, like a sweet family photo or a nature scene of something you find peaceful. For me, I go back in my mind to Lanakai Beach in Oahu and "smell" the beach and flowers in the air, "feel" the sand in my toes and just take it all in. Having an air freshener plugged in can also help you to "revisit" those places that make you happy and at peace. Four, if you don't already have a regular exercise routine, develop one! Even something small, like 15 minutes per day of cardio can help lower stress significantly.
With all of that being said, acupuncture works by balancing meridians, or the body's pathways and can greatly affect blood pressure, blood sugar, the stress response, hormone levels, etc. assisting in stress reduction. But you doing your part to alleviate stress is just as important. Find what relaxation technique works best for you and try to incorporate it into your daily life, not just when stress occurs. Good luck!!!
