Chinese Medicine for Stress Management
If you feel overwhelmed and anxious, you are not alone! We are surrounded by things in our lives that cause us to feel stress. Feeling stress often accompanies depression and can range from mild discomfort to uncontrollable panic, many times with physical symptoms. Stress, anxiety and depression are some of the more common ailments that we see at Find Your Balance.
If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, you are very familiar with these physical symptoms: heart palpitations, chest tightness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feel, feeling light-headed, feeling like you can't get a deep breath, and a general feeling of fear. Prescription medications used to ease these symptoms may have undesirable effects. Chinese medicine is a great alternative to prescription medication and generally has no side effects. It is effective at alleviating your symptoms, making stress more manageable.
Chinese medicine recognizes the powerful connection between the body and emotions. When we become emotionally upset, our internal body also becomes disrupted, leading to the physical symptoms of anxiety and depression. Chinese medicine and acupuncture offers a number of strategies to help people suffering from stress or anxiety. Treatments for stress, anxiety and depression use a combination of acupuncture and herbal therapy.
Treatment for stress, anxiety and depression begin with a full health intake. A Chinese medical diagnosis is then formed and an acupuncture treatment plan is developed. Typically, weekly acupuncture treatments are recommended for the first 3 months. Once symptoms have dissipated, a biweekly or monthly maintenance treatment schedule will be established to prevent your symptoms from returning. Acupuncture treatments are effective at calming the mind, which is a helpful first-step in treating stress and anxiety. Research has documented the positive effects of acupuncture on brain chemistry, including its ability to increase the secretion of endorphins.
Herbal formulas may also be used to address your stress, anxiety, depression or insomnia. A Chinese herbal formula will assist in balancing your neurotransmitters. Your herbal formula will be designed based on your symptoms. Formulas are customized for your body using a blend of powdered herbs. This powder is dissolved in water and taken orally. Typically, 10-15 different herbs are combined into a formula.
