A term many of us didn’t use or understand as viscerally until a few years ago. Anxiety can be something very physical experience with heart palpitations, heaviness in the chest, fatigue, shaking, lack of appetite, increased heart rate. It can also be very mental and emotional with overthinking, worry, fogginess, poor memory insomnia, dream disturbed sleep, fidgeting, mania, depression and irritability. We are what we THINK.
Acupuncture has been proven to have incredible benefits on helping people move through anxiety.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine anxiety comes from a deficiency in the Heart. The emotion of the heart is JOY. When we are out of balance we either have too little joy (sadness) or too much joy (mania/anxiety). The energy behind the heart is not stable and we feel it. Emotional ups + downs, lack of appetite, fatigue, physical sensations in the chest.
Through tcm, acupuncture + Chinese herbs we calm the mind, strength the heart and calm the spirit.
Essentially bring the heart back to where it functions its best - when joy, happiness and love are its pure expression and flow more organically.
