Acupuncture for anxiety: a natural way to calm

Anxiety isn’t just a feeling in your head—it’s in your body, too. Maybe your chest feels tight, your shoulders creep up toward your ears, or your stomach is in knots. Maybe sleep is elusive, or you wake up feeling like you haven’t had a proper rest in years. If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And if you’ve been searching for something that helps—something natural, something that works with your body instead of against it—acupuncture might be worth exploring.
