Acupuncture for Holiday Stress
The holidays can be wonderful, but not so much if you’re under a lot of stress or suffering from depression or anxiety. Most Americans are already experiencing unhealthy levels of stress, so with the travel, family gatherings, and parties that accompany the holiday season, our stressors tend to increase significantly. Acupuncture is a safe and natural treatment that can help with these residual effects of holiday stress:
✨ Sleep
↪ How does it help? Acupuncture increases the body’s ability to produce melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. The increase in melatonin restores your natural ability to fall asleep (and stay asleep!)
✨ Energy
↪ How does it help? Acupuncture combats exhaustion by helping to balance the body’s energetic field, and eliminating “brain fog”. The result is a state of ease, increased physical stamina, and mental clarity.
✨ Headaches
↪ How does it help? Acupuncture produces a pain-reducing effect as a result of needles being placed near specific nerves. This releases endorphins that help relieve pressure and alleviate the discomfort of recurring headaches and migraines.
✨ Mood Swings
↪ How does it help? Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, which releases mood-elevating endorphins and other chemicals, leading to less anxiety and a more positive mindset.
