Acupuncture for Mental Health: Supporting Calm, Balance, and Wellness at Somavive
Mental health challenges can significantly disrupt daily life. They affect beliefs, emotions, relationships, and an individual’s ability to manage everyday stress.
Common mental health conditions include depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. These conditions impact people worldwide, regardless of age.
How Acupuncture Supports Mental Health
Acupuncture in Montreal can help address anxiety by:
Reducing muscle tension
Supporting digestive function
Lowering heart rate
Promoting a sense of calm and relaxation
For both chronic and acute depression, acupuncture can improve sleep, metabolism, and relieve common depressive symptoms such as sadness, irritability, grief, and anger.
Acupuncture has also been shown to:
Reduce cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone
Lower blood pressure
Reduce resting heart rate
Positively influence the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the body’s stress response
A study by the University of Arizona demonstrated significant reductions in depression symptoms among women, with over half reporting no depression after eight weeks of acupuncture treatment.
