Yorkville (IL) Stress, Anxiety & Depression

In theory, the idea of being able to do more in less time – especially with the aid of technology – would mean we create more time for ourselves. For instance, we no longer always have to drive to the bank to make a deposit or head to the mall to purchase a book. We can even skip the fast-food drive-thru and have it delivered to our door.

But most people in Yorkville know the opposite proves to be true – the more time we free, the more we fill it, often until we begin to burn out. When we add other stressors such as too much information and screen time, raising a family and the always rising costs of living, our mental health can really start to strain.

If you have been dealing with stress, anxiety or depression, A Touch of Ginger helps Yorkville (IL) residents relieve symptoms and restore inner peace through holistic, natural healthcare that applies Chinese medicine for a sense of greater wellness.

What Is Acupuncture for Yorkville (IL)?

Acupuncture by A Touch of Ginger enhances quality of life for anyone in Yorkville: infants, toddlers, kids, teens, adults and seniors alike. It achieves this by focusing on the flow of your qi (pronounced chee) in your body.

Qi is the Chinese concept of the life force or energy that powers the body to perform. This essence courses through the body’s pathways with start and end points on the head, hands and feet. When qi is abundant and moving correctly in concert with properly functioning organs, there is greater well-being.

Factors such as stress, anxiety and depression can disrupt the flow of qi. When your qi is blocked and your organs are out of balance, your body sends distress signals that require attention.

To release your qi, acupuncture uses very fine needles on the skin’s surface to stimulate particular points on the body. The targeted starting points will depend on your particular ailment. In this way, acupuncture frees your blocked qi to once again promote and maintain your health.

The Power of Acupuncture for Yorkville (IL) Anxiety

Many of us have experienced it: Our stressors trigger worries and thoughts we cannot control, and they eventually start taking total control of us. Without proper treatment, anxiety can drain our peace and physical energy. In some cases, it can even result in a debilitating panic attack.

Symptoms that anxiety might be getting the better of us can include:

As anxiety continues, it becomes more important that we stop its causes and effects. A treatment plan with A Touch of Ginger including acupuncture helps get to the root cause of your anxiety. It also teaches your body how to shift into “rest and digest” mode instead of anxiety’s often destructive “fight or flight” form of coping.

In freeing your qi and training your body to reduce mental alarm, you become the boss of your triggers and their symptoms. Your treatment plan for relief from anxiety might also include Chinese herbal medicine rooted in Canonical Chinese Medicine (CCM).
