Anxiety and Depression
Chinese medicine divides an individual not into Mind and Body, but rather into yin and yang, and further into 5 organ systems of the body: Lung, Heart, Liver, Spleen (pancreas), and Kidneys.
Each of the organ systems represents a spectrum from physical structure and function, mental and emotional aspects, and spiritual qualities. According to this viewpoint, balanced emotions and mental capacities are as essential to overall wellbeing as physical health.
By following these principles at Affinity Acupuncture & Rolfing, we have been successful at integrating acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet, nutritional supplements and lifestyle counseling to positively affect anxiety and depression, particularly as it relates to chronic pain, daily and life changing stressors, insomnia, addiction withdrawal, and hormonal imbalances.
We are happy to work with you and your therapist to support a natural, holistic approach to mood disorders.
