‘Can You Help With My Depression and Anxiety?’
How Acupuncture Can Help Depression and Anxiety by Martin Dean
Anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, fear, lack of motivation, lethargy, palpitations, shakiness, nerves, nervous stomach, seasonal affective disorder.
Five element acupuncture is based on the principle that true health and well-being involves the a balance between five fundamental aspects of ourselves. In terms of our emotions, the basic building blocks are :-
Joy (fun), Fear, Sympathy (mothering) , Anger (assertiveness), Grief (tears).
These feelings are an essential part of our human nature - the real problem occurs when we become stuck in one or other of these emotions. We are perhaps unable to express joy, or we burst into tears at the slightest provocation. Five element acupuncture aims to identify and correct this imbalance, and to give you your life back.
So what happens when you visit a professional acupuncturist?
During your first visit, you will be asked about your physical condition, lifestyle, reactions to different climatic conditions, and so on. Your pulse and tongue will be examined, and from all these the nature of your disharmony can be deduced, and corrective treatment prescribed.
With moxa therapy, the moxa herb is lit and is allowed to gently smoulder in order to provide therapeutic warmth.
This can be especially useful if you suffer from the cold, or your symptoms are worse in Winter.
Acupuncture treatment may be covered by your private health insurance
