How acupuncture fixed my insomnia and overthinking.

Living with depression and anxiety can be a challenging and exhausting experience. You may constantly feel on edge, worried, and overwhelmed. You might also find it difficult to sleep or turn off your thoughts, leaving you feeling tired and wired. Despite seeking help from your doctor, you may not have found relief from these symptoms. If this sounds familiar, acupuncture may help.

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that has been used for centuries to help alleviate a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy or Qi. Research has shown that acupuncture can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

One way that acupuncture helps is by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest side of the nervous system), which is responsible for the body’s relaxation response. This can help reduce feelings of anxiety and promote restful sleep. Acupuncture can also help regulate the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play a role in regulating mood and emotions.

Another way that acupuncture helps is by reducing inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to a wide range of health conditions, including depression and anxiety. Acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, which improves overall health and well-being.
