Did you know that 75-90% of visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related problems? TCM views stress as a very important health issue. The physical and mental tension that accompanies stress inhibits the flow of Qi (energy), which disrupts the proper function of bodily systems. It is thus the source of many diseases.
While completely eliminating stress in your life is easier said than done, what can be done is reducing the impact of stress on your organs using acupuncture. Acupuncture is able to move the energy within the meridians in your body to achieve balance. You may not be able to avoid stress completely, but you can minimize the damage it does to your health.
Wishing you a low stress week,
