Acupuncture Treats Depression, Anxiety & Stress Naturally
There are about 8 million Americans that are afflicted with depression. It is the main cause of suicide which claims over 30,000 lives each year in the US. Some estimates state that about 20% of people will suffer a major episode of depression during their life.
The western antidepressant drugs such as Effexor, Paxil, Elavil, Zoflot, Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Trazodone can be beneficial by focusing on maintaining the serotonin levels in the brain. But, in addition to the side effects, the patients need to take them all the time. Acupuncture, combined with Chinese herbs, can be a very effective alternative to treat depression, anxiety, stress-induced fatigue and emotions swings resulting in long-term benefits.
In a
University of Arizona study, thirty eight adult women diagnosed with mild to moderate depression were treated with acupuncture according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, each for her own specific pattern of symptoms. They were treated twice per week for one month and once per week for a second month, for a total of twelve sessions. After completion of acupuncture treatment for depression, 70% of women experienced at least a 50% reduction of symptoms, results comparable to the success rate of psychotherapy and medication.With over a quarter century experience, Dr. XiPing Zhou has successfully treated many people suffering from depression.
