Acupuncture for
Anxiety & Stress in York
At Moorlands Acupuncture, we understand how overwhelming anxiety and stress can feel. Whether it shows up as constant worry, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, or physical tension, these challenges can affect every part of life. Acupuncture offers a gentle, natural approach to calming the mind, easing stress, and restoring balance.
How Acupuncture Helps
with Anxiety and Stress
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to support emotional and physical wellbeing. Modern research suggests that acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress hormones, and encourage the body’s natural relaxation response. For many people, this results in:
- A greater sense of calm and ease
- Improved sleep quality
- Reduced physical symptoms such as muscle tension, headaches, or digestive upset
- Better resilience in stressful situations
By gently stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can help the body return to a more balanced and relaxed state.
How Acupuncture Helps with Anxiety and Stress
Auricular acupuncture focuses on points located on the ear, which are closely linked to the nervous system. This approach is often used to reduce stress, calm the mind, and ease emotional tension. Many people find auricular acupuncture particularly effective in moments of heightened anxiety or stress, as it can quickly encourage deep relaxation and support a more balanced emotional state. It can also be combined with body acupuncture for a more comprehensive treatment.
Supporting Your
Whole Wellbeing
We believe in a holistic approach. Alongside acupuncture, we may suggest gentle lifestyle advice—such as breathing techniques, relaxation practices, or dietary adjustments—to support your overall health and help you manage stress and anxiety day to day.
