Depression and anxiety

Depression and anxiety can have a major impact on your daily life, energy levels, and enjoyment of life. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these complaints are viewed as a disruption of the body’s energy balance (Qi), often caused by prolonged stress, emotional strain, or physical exhaustion. Acupuncture offers a natural and holistic way to bring body and mind back into harmony.

How acupuncture helps with depression and anxiety

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points that influence the nervous system, hormonal balance, and the flow of energy. This encourages the body’s natural self-healing ability.

Treatment helps to:

  • Increase the production of endorphins and serotonin (the “feel-good” hormones)
  • Calm the nervous system and promote a sense of inner peace
  • Improve sleep quality and reduce inner tension
  • Restore energy circulation, reducing fatigue and low mood
  • Decrease stress and persistent worrying thoughts

A natural and personalized approach

Unlike medication, acupuncture does not focus solely on suppressing symptoms but on restoring the underlying imbalance. Each treatment is tailored to your unique situation, emotions, and physical condition.

Benefits of acupuncture for emotional complaints

  • Natural support without side effects
  • Improves mood, resilience, and concentration
  • Promotes relaxation and emotional stability
  • Can be safely combined with therapy or conventional treatments

Acupuncture offers a gentle, effective, and natural way to restore balance between body and mind. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or depressive feelings, acupuncture can help you experience greater calm, energy, and emotional stability—allowing you to move through life with renewed confidence and clarity.
