How do we cope when we are told we have a particular illness, that a loved one needs care, or our jobs and livelihoods are under threat? Our emotional reaction to life’s challenges can manifest itself in anxiety, stress, worry, anger, frustration, tiredness, fatigue, sleep problems and ill health. It can be a vicious circle.

It’s easy to paper over cracks in a wall and make things look better, but the cracks are still there. Liken that to how we deal with our health.

We often look for a ‘quick fix’ and relief from our symptoms, but unless we look at the root cause things won’t change. We can often feel overwhelmed and it could be that changes are hard to make, but making even the smallest adjustment could make a difference. Using acupuncture to support you on this journey could enable you to unwind, destress, find a coping strategy and live more in tune with your body.
