I have severe daily anxiety, they will provide herbs and acupuncture for a large amount of money. I’ve had anxiety for 4 years now.
I do not want to take medication, it is too self-harming, and not natural.i’d rather take something natural to cure my anxiety.
Is it worth it to give it a try? I am tired of being anxious everyday, I cant relax for a second, not even when I sleep.
also, is acupuncture hurtful?

If youve tried herbs or acupuncture has it worked for you?

Chinese medicine is responsible for a number of natural therapies, and acupuncture is probably the best known of them. Basically, acupuncture works on the theory that your body contains energy centers at specific, strategic points. These energy centers are then linked to a particular part of the body. If you have a sore knee, for example, then the acupuncturist would locate the energy center links to that knee. This could well be located in a completely different part of the body. That’s the point where very thin needles are then inserted to stimulate the energy center. The result? The pain in your knee is reduced or removed entirely, by accessing the central nervous system through the acupuncture point.

Acupuncture is used to treat many conditions, but pain relief is the most common. It’s an odd concept – inserting needles into your body to reduce pain! But plenty of people find acupuncture. It’s believed that as well as stimulating energy centers, acupuncture stimulates the production of endorphins, known as “feel good” chemicals, which also helps reduce the pain.

my mum’s thinking about it but does it work?

Acupuncture has always been part of ancient Chinese medicine.  The principles of acupuncture are very similar to acupressure.

Fine needles are inserted to stimulate specific points in the skin called meridians which are considered to be energy paths to treat illness and ensure general good health.

When someone becomes sick or is injured, the chi (pronounced either ‘chee’ or ‘kie’, like pie) gets blocked and positive energy is prevented for getting through.
