May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Did you know that acupuncture can be used to treat mental health issues from stress and anxiety to major depressive disorder?

An article from Evidence Based Acupuncture states “Studies show that acupuncture had a large effect on reducing anxiety and depression compared to conventional treatment involving pharmacological approaches and psychotherapy, with over twice the reduction in symptoms. Moreover, research has revealed several known biochemical and biophysical mechanisms that may offer an explanation of how this ancient modality works.” Read more on this here: https://www.evidencebasedacupuncture.org/acupuncture.../
