Well the good news is that there are some safe, natural and effective solutions and techniques that have been used for thousands of years. One of the techniques I favor is Chinese medicine, which includes acupuncture, herbs, diet and stress relieving movement therapies (Tai Chi and Qi Gong).
Acupuncture has been shown reduce the signs of stress. Some of the signs and symptoms of excessive stress are poor memory, easily frustrated, muscle tension and pain and lowered immune system. While stress is a relatively modern health concern, acupuncture has been used for all the above signs and symptoms for thousands of years. In fact, many empirical studies have shown acupuncture to be effective for what we now label as stress.
Now what you may find surprising, but in fact is true, is that most people find acupuncture to be extremely relaxing. Many of my patients, after having their initial health concern relieved, now come in just for the relaxing effect and stress reduction. What they have also found is they get the most benefit when they make some modifications in the way they live their daily life, like addressing addictive behaviors, utilizing other stress reduction techniques such as meditation, and becoming more aware on a daily basis.
Chinese medicine suggests that any strong emotion, such as stress, will interrupt the flow of energy in our bodies. In Chinese medical theory, energy flows through meridians, which are just like rivers. Stress acts as dam in the river, blocking the free flow of energy.Acupuncture works to correct these energetic imbalances that give rise to the signs of stress. Whereas, most other forms of healthcare are dealing with just the physical symptoms. Acupuncture addresses the root of the problem in a natural and very effective way.
Acupuncture is safe and gentle and has been used by thousands of people all over the world. If you a seeking help with stress and have not found a solution I encourage you to try acupuncture as soon as possible!
