so don’t let your stress levels get out of hand. Acupuncture reduces your stress, lowers anxiety and creates calmness.
How does it work?
Deactivating the analytical brain which is responsible for anxiety and worries, and acting on the primary somatosensory cortex which is the area in the middle of the brain which is known to reduce sensitivity to stress and pain.
Down regulating the body’s stress response by balancing neurotransmitters and hormones. Stress triggers the production of certain hormones, cortisone and adrenaline.
Stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to initiate the relaxation response. The parasympathetic nervous system acts like a brake and will calm your nervous system down to help you relax.
Regulate the release of inflammatory markers and chemicals which are associated with anxiety. Emotional disturbances and anxiety can lead to lowered immune system function and increased inflammation in the body.
Shift the effects of stress induced biochemical and behavioural changes that are triggered when someone experiences anxiety.
