In Chinese medicine each organ has a related emotion and the liver’s emotions are anger and depression. Often with depression / anxiety and even stress the liver energy becomes restricted or stagnant. Since the liver’s function involves ensuring the free flow of Qi in the body this can have various knock on effects such as digestive / menstrual problems, headaches etc. Acupuncture treatment aims to restore the free flow of the livers energy to resolve the various symptoms experienced by individuals who are feeling depressed. This can be achieved using acupuncture, herbs lifestyle and dietary changes. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy can also provide a great means of changing the impact of anxiety and /or depression. I can teach you simple methods to change these states, and can work with you to neutralise specific triggers for your anxiety or depression. There is an elevated level of anxiety currently as we emerge from the pandemic, at Dantien acupuncture we can help.
Around 40% of those suffering with Depression have digestive problems, I believe that both can be directly impacted by the condition of the Gut Microbiome and for this reason I feel that abdominal acupuncture has an advantage over many other systems, and it is a much gentler method of acupuncture too. Results can be seen within a number of treatments and a course of treatment usually depends on the length and severity of the condition.
Studies in the U.S. have shown that in the treatment of 33 seriously depressed women with acupuncture over 50% recovered.
