Acupuncture and Anxiety

Originating in China Acupuncture rivals Ayurveda in terms of history as both have been in common practice for thousands of years. In terms of popularity both Acupuncture and Ayurveda have only recently been introduced and accepted into western culture. Both treatment methods rely on bringing balance back into your system as a whole, to cure your conditions. Where they differ is in the actual treatment methods.

Where Ayurveda heals you by applying oils and poultices, and use of herbs and teas, Acupuncture involves the delicate art of tapping needles into certain specific pressure points in your body.

If you have no fear of needles and don't mind trying something new which might actually make your anxiety attacks lessen if not disappear altogether, then trying Acupuncture might be right for you.

Acupuncture works by balancing the opposing forces of Yin and Yang within us. This is accomplished by inserting thin needles into specific pressure points that can be located along 14 meridians located throughout our body. Vital life force energy, or Chi (Qi), flows through these pathways and when a person is ill a blockage occurs and needs to be cleared. This is the purpose of tapping the needles into you.

For a full cure to be had from Acupuncture you will probably need to have more than one session. Depending upon the severity of your Chi blockage the sessions can go on for a few days or a few months after which your anxiety shouldn't become a problem anymore.

There are many licensed practitioners in the west now and if you're interested you should see one as soon as possible. An internet search or phone directory search should hopefully yield positive results for you to be able to find an Acupuncture practitioner nearby.
