Stress & anxiety

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for centuries to address stress and anxiety. TCM practitioners view these conditions as an indication of imbalances within the body, and aim to restore balance and harmony to promote healing. TCM treatments for stress and anxiety can include: Acupuncture: This involves the insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of qi (vital energy) and blood, and promote relaxation and a sense of calm. Herbal remedies: TCM uses a wide range of herbs to address stress and anxiety. Herbal remedies can be used to promote relaxation, improve sleep quality, and support the nervous system. Cupping: This involves the use of suction cups on the skin to promote circulation and relaxation. Qigong and Tai Chi: These are gentle movement practices that can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Dietary therapy: TCM dietary therapy can be used to support the body's natural healing processes, and promote relaxation and a sense of calm. TCM treatments for stress and anxiety can be used in conjunction with Western medical treatments, such as counseling and medication. As with any medical treatment, it's important to work with a licensed TCM practitioner to develop a treatment plan that is appropriate for your specific needs.
