People can be placed into one of two categories based on their personality and how they display stress and anxiety.

The first is the explosive personality and the second a more withdrawn, anxious person.

Stress in today's lifestyle can be an almost daily occurrence for some people. You can go to bed stressed and wake up stressed whether it is from personal relationships, working conditions or lack of work.  Stress can be placed upon you from others, or pressures you place on yourself, or just the everyday stresses of living in our modern society.

Stress is made worse by a poor diet with a high intake of refined sugars, a lack of exercise and insomnia.

How Can TCM help?
Empirical evidence spanning the last 2000 years, as well as more recent clinical studies show  acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can effectively relieve anxiety, stress, depression, sleep difficulties, and trauma. Acupuncture in particular is also widely used in addiction recovery.

Physical health and mental health mutually affect each other. A core principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine is that the body and mind are inseparable, and treatment is aimed at balancing the whole system.

Emotional stress takes a toll on the body's organs, resulting imbalances can bring about physical or emotional symptoms. TCM directly affects the organ systems to balance hypo or hyper arousal states, and thereby help restore equilibrium.

It is widely known that the type of diet we have and the amount of exercise affects our moods. Beyond this, Chinese medicine can influence your overall health by recognising and addressing your physical or emotional imbalances. The more you are in balance, the better resourced you are to manage whatever your predisposition may be. Chinese medicine also effectively treats specific psycho-emotional symptoms.

Research has indicated that acupuncture positively modifies the discharge of neurohormones and neurotransmitters; helps your body to self-regulate by arousing the central nervous system; and emits opioids (the body's natural pain-killers) to the brain which reduces pain and improves sleep.

With little or no side-effects, acupuncture can be used safely in together with drug therapy and psychotherapy. Acupuncture helps integrate the therapeutic components of psychotherapy by helping to regulate the emotional brain.
