Acupuncture, APM and Stress
Although stress is our body’s natural response to everyday life situations, there is a distinction between healthy and unhealthy stress. Healthy stress includes appropriate physical exercise, good eating habits, positive thinking, adequate rest and a natural response to emergency situations. These stressors keep us alert and motivated, supporting our body’s strength and vitality.
Negative emotions, overexertion, poor eating habits, lack of sleep and environmental toxins challenge our health, compromise our immune systems and can trigger physical and emotional problems, particularly if they are repeated over a prolonged period of time. Unhealthy stress affects our nervous, lymphatic, adrenal and physical (muscular) systems.
Try Acupuncture and APM to effectively deal with stress.
Acupuncture treats the physical and emotional symptoms of stress by addressing the root cause. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), stress mostly affects the Kidney’s energy or Qi (chee) by depleting the adrenal glands. Qi nourishes and supports all the body’s systems. Over time a deficiency in Qi can result in physical problems seen with stress, namely digestive problems, poor sleep or insomnia, neck and back pain, and especially fatigue and low energy.
If you haven’t tried acupuncture for stress, what are you waiting for? Your body, mind and spirit will thank you.
