Emotional Disorders
The stress of a modern lifestyle makes emotional disorders an increasingly common problem. These disorders often manifest themselves as anxiety, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, bipolar disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, dementia, depression, hysteria, insomnia, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia. Such conditions are the cause of considerable distress and disability, and are costly to the individual, family and society.
Studies indicate that acupuncture can:
- Activate your self-healing capacity, enhance the life energy flow and restore the natural balance of health
- Trigger the body to produce serotonin and endorphins --- the body’s natural “feel-good” and pain-relieving chemicals
- Relax the nervous system and soothe stress, produce a calming and tranquilising effect and increase self-confidence
- Alter neurochemical pathways and reverse mood-induced changes in biochemistry and behaviour
- Reduce sympathetic nervous system activity thus helping to ensure a proper night's sleep
- Correct the body's imbalance and start a positive cycle to combat negative affective states
With over 27 years acupuncture experience, I select the most appropriate acu-points related to the symptoms and roots. After insertion, a special electromagnetic spectrum healing lamp (TDP) is incorporated to assist the needles in activating the acu-points. At the end of the session, I will apply a head massage to soothe the nerves and create a sense of relaxation. The treatment has been proven to be exceptionally effective.
