Everyone experiences stress, anxiety, or a period of emotional imbalance at times. Human emotions, which can be quite logical in (difficult) situations. But what if this occurs very often, if your fears increasingly limit you, or if you feel disproportionately and for a longer period of time downcast, anxious, angry, or stressed?

A healthy emotional balance
Although we recommend consulting with regular doctors and therapists for severe mental problems, acupuncture can contribute to positive support in regulating emotions. Acupuncture focuses on restoring balance in the body and can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and mood swings. Stimulation of acupuncture points shows a response in regulating neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins*. Important substances that influence our mood. In this way, acupuncture can contribute to better emotional balance and relaxation during periods of stress. It often complements other (conventional) treatment plans well.
