How Does Stress Treatment with Accupuncture Work?
Acupuncturists believe that energy flows through the body system through channels called meridians. This energy is referred to as Qi or Chi. Stress causes an imbalance in the body’s energy and causes it to flow improperly. The Qi can become blocked and stagnant. It must be unblocked and flow freely in order to restore harmonious balance to the body. By stimulating the proper acupressure points, the Qi can flow freely, and thereby can reduce stress induced mental and physical symptoms.
