With tension building and your to-do list overflowing, you feel like you’re one burned pie crust away from losing it. How can you keep holiday cheer from turning into holiday fear?
Recent research supports acupuncture’s role in modifying our body’s stress response on a biological level by influencing regulatory hormones, inflammatory markers, neurotransmitters and more. Acupuncture can shift the body from a stressful “fight or flight” state into “rest and digest” mode. Your whole body receives signals to unwind. Your breathing and heart rate slow, blood pressure decreases, and feel-good endorphins flood through you.
The effects create a profound sense of calm in the mind and body.
Acupuncture offers drug-free relief from anxiety without undesirable side effects. Most people describe the painless experience as calming, soothing, even blissful. When’s the last time the holidays felt like that? Make this ancient ritual a cornerstone of self-care this season for merrier memories with less stress.
After all, ‘tis the season for peace and harmony from within—and acupuncture may help you achieve it! Now, who wants gingerbread?
