Tens of millions of Americans struggle with some form of mental health condition. And while some people suffer more than others, all types of anxiety, stress, and depression can be overcome. At Lora Family Acupuncture, we employ a proven holistic approach to help you achieve mental wellness and a general state of tranquility and balance.
Anxiety, Stress, and Depression
Treating the Underlying Emotions
No matter what form of mental stress you are going through, there are one or more dominant emotions at its roots, enabling your negative feelings to control and overwhelm you. Maybe you are experiencing a sense of guilt or self-contempt. Or perhaps an event in your life has left you filled with anger. By targeting the nourishing acupoints and channels correlating to your specific emotions, we can treat the issue at its source, invigorating and balancing your Qi. And if you are receiving outside treatment from a medical professional, Acupuncture therapy works synergistically, further navigating you toward mental well-being.
Hesitant About Acupuncture?
If you have not previously received Acupuncture treatment, it is common to be hesitant about trying it for the first time. This is why we take the time to educate each one of our patients on Acupuncture and how it works. Unlike the high-gauge, hollow needles used at the doctor’s office, Acupuncture needles are solid with a diameter comparable to a single strand of hair. Following an Acupuncture treatment session, our patients often remark on the calm, positive feelings they experience. Along with realigning your body’s vital energy force, Acupuncture stimulates the release of serotonin; serotonin is the primary hormone which balances your mood while promoting positive emotions like happiness. Serotonin also influences the entirety of your body, aiding the healthy communication between cells and sensory receptors throughout the nervous system, benefitting processes and functions including:
Sleep Cycle
Digestion
