Chinese medicine excels at treating emotional issues. All emotions are associated with an organ. Stress and irritability affect the liver. The liver energy is stuck, and it makes the stress worse, then the stress starts to cause other health issues like:
- PMS
- Depression
- High Blood Pressure
- Digestive Problems
- Insomnia
- Fertility
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs treat the underlying root. Stress can be reduced by treating the liver energy. Sometimes people accuse me of making them tired when they get acupuncture. They feel tired, because they are used to be stressed and wound up all the time. When they start to relax, they are not used to that feeling.
Treating stress is very simple. If someone in your life is all stressed out, it affects everyone. Then you are stressed, and you have to break the cycle.
You can get stress treatments and herbs at the same time you are being treated for other ailments. Chinese medicine treats the whole person, not isolated symptoms.
Many people feel so relaxed after acupuncture, that they think they are tired. They have not relaxed in so long, they do not know what it feels like.
