Scientific Proof to How your Body react to Acupuncture - Anxiety

Regular sessions of Acupuncture can reduce the flare up of Anxiety.


Anxiety disorder is a psychiatric disorder that is most commonly encountered accompanying depression.

A high prevalence of anxiety disorder is observed in the current society population, which is directly, or indirectly, exposed to rapid, and chronic stress. Anxiety disorders lead to increased morbidity rates for other mental, and physical disorders, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, increased costs for health care services, and psychosocial impairment. Therefore, there is a continuing need to diagnose anxiety disorder early, and treat it without delay.

Patients with anxiety disorders have higher psychological attributes than do those with other conditions. Acupuncture is now commonly used in clinical practice, and is advantageous because it is less convenient, and less dependence-inducing and thereby safer than standard psychoactive drugs.
