A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
Supporters of acupuncture claim that placing needles in certain points on the body can stimulate the central nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.
Acupuncture, an ancient practice that involves inserting needles into pressure points on your body, is becoming a popular alternative treatment for stress and anxiety. There’s some scientific evidence that acupuncture helps with certain symptoms. There have been several studies done about the effects of acupuncture on anxiety.
These studies have focused mostly on generalized anxiety disorder and suggest that acupuncture is helpful in treating general anxiety. More and more people are turning to acupuncture as a likely safe and possibly effective therapy for various health concerns, from insomnia to stress, menstrual cramps to low back pain.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy for balancing the body’s energy, known as qi, which travels through various energetic pathways, known as meridians, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In TCM’s conceptualization of health and disease, the balance of qi supports overall wellness, and any disruption to it may cause health concerns, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine holds that inserting tiny stainless steel needles into specific points called acupoints along the meridians that may help rebalance the flow of qi, ultimately working to restore your overall health. There are several acupuncture points that could help relieve anxiety. This article focuses on four of them:
Yintang (EXHN3)
Yintang is an acupuncture point between the eyebrows. Several small preliminary studies have found that people consistently report feeling less anxious before an operation after receiving acupuncture on Yintang. Practitioners refer to Yintang as the “third eye” and believe it has a mentally stabilizing effect.
Heart 7 (HT7)
Heart 7 is an acupuncture point on the crease of the wrist. Study shows that Heart 7 reduces stress and anxiety related to alcohol exposure.
Baihui (GV 20)
Bauhui is an acupuncture point at the top of the head. Because the location of Bauhui is at the highest point of the head, acupuncturists claim it can clear the mind and uplift spirits. Its therapeutic applications can include the treatment of anxiety, dizziness, headache, and stroke.
Hegu (LI4)
Hegu is an acupuncture point between the base of the thumb and the index finger. Acupuncture research shows that in addition to dietary and lifestyle changes, this type of treatment also helps improve mood in people with PCOS. They also found that individuals who received acupuncture experienced a greater reduction in anxiety.
