Acupuncture for Stress, Anxiety & Depression
Acupuncture has been used to treat emotional conditions for thousands of years, and many acupuncture points are indicated for emotional as well as physical health.
In a recent study at the Univeristy of York researchers found that acupuncture significantly reduced the severity of depression, and that these benefits were largely sustained for up to 12 months after treatment.
