Good Shen is here to help.

Emotional pain is seen in Chinese Medicine as a stagnation within the body. When we experience trauma, grief, chronic stress, anxiety, or depression, the internal energy systems (qi) in our bodies get stuck. This “back up” or “clog” wreaks havoc on our bodies and tampers with our digestion, sleep quality, cognitive functioning, and much more.

For people struggling with anxiety, acupuncture can be a game-changer. Research has shown that just eight weeks of acupuncture treatments can significantly reduce symptoms of GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) by:

• Reducing stress hormones (cortisol)

• Increasing levels of serotonin and dopamine (the happy hormones)

• Regulating the autonomic nervous system

• Calming the mind and promoting relaxation
