Using Acupuncture to Handle Stress

How was your day? Did you go to work, take care of kids, go to school, try to get everything checked off your “to do list”?

With all you did during your busy day, did you feel any stress? Stress is your body’s natural response to all the demands of your day. The surge of energy you feel during stress is your “fight or flight” response, which provides you energy for that moment. That energy during stressful events comes from your adrenal glands. However if we have too many of these “flight or fight” response your body will start to have adrenal fatigue and will be unable to handle stress correctly.

That is when we break down, give up, get ill, or take it out on someone that was in the line of fire!

Our response to stress can hinder our health in many ways. If you are under stress you are more likely to eat poorly, not exercise, have disturbed sleep, our mood and emotions are affected. These unhealthy life choices and stress can cause your body to work harder than it needs to, and will trigger issues with your health. Studies show that stress causes our white blood cell count to decrease, leaving our bodies unable to fight against viruses. When your body is off balance due to stress, your hormones are affected causing emotional symptoms, irregular menstrual cycles, decrease libido, decrease in metabolism, and many more health conditions.
