Acupuncture for Stress

​

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to address a range of physical and emotional concerns, including stress. Modern studies have explored how acupuncture may help reduce stress levels and promote overall well-being. It can also work alongside other therapies to support your health.

​

Understanding Stress

​

Stress can manifest in several ways. You might experience tension, irritability, fatigue, headaches, or difficulty sleeping. Concentration at work may become challenging, and you might feel overwhelmed much of the time. This stress could be linked to a specific event or may have built up over time due to long-term pressure, trauma, or significant life changes.

​

How Does Acupuncture for Stress Work?

​

Acupuncture seeks to understand the root cause of your stress, including your triggers and where it manifests in your body. During your session, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted, involving a full medical history to understand your unique situation. Diagnostic techniques such as observing your tongue and feeling your pulses help reach a personalised diagnosis. Based on this, a customised set of acupuncture points will be created to address your specific needs. The treatment itself is a calming experience that aims to restore balance to your body and mind.

​

Integrating Mushroom Nutrition

​

In addition to acupuncture, incorporating certain medicinal mushrooms into your treatment plan may support your body's response to stress:

  • Adaptogenic Properties: Mushrooms like Reishi, Lion's Mane, and Cordyceps are considered adaptogens—substances that may help the body adapt to stress and restore balance.

  • Immune Support: These mushrooms might also support immune function, which can be affected by chronic stress.

 

Supporting Your Wellness

​

To enhance the benefits of your treatments, suggestions for changes in diet and lifestyle may be offered. This holistic approach can support your overall well-being and help manage stress more effectively.
