Stress & Acupuncture

If you're struggling with sleep, tossing and turning throughout the night, or experiencing mood swings, irritability, and a sense of being out of sorts, stress could be the underlying cause. These feelings can be triggered by a combination of factors, such as physical strain from heavy work or exercise, hormonal imbalances (like PMS or menopause), or low blood sugar from dieting or poor nutrition. Stress can also affect digestive health, weaken immune function, and contribute to recurring allergies or sensitivities. When stress disrupts the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in regulating the body’s autonomic functions, it can lead to emotional instability, poor digestion, and difficulty managing stress.

Acupuncture helps restore balance to the body by reactivating the vagus nerve and promoting the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports relaxation and overall well-being. This therapy can calm the mind, improve sleep, and restore harmony to both physical and emotional functions. Many patients report feeling more relaxed and in tune with their bodies after acupuncture treatments. It provides a drug-free alternative that has been effective over thousands of years. The frequency and duration of treatment will depend on the severity and duration of your condition, with longer-standing issues typically requiring more time to address.
