Most people in the United States who suffer from panic attacks and anxiety would have taken psychotropic drugs to help them get through the days and nights. Many of them would find it uneasy taking these drugs because they know that they cause serious side effects and that they were not really meant to cure the root of the anxiety and panic attacks. Some have tried alternative forms of treatment particularly acupuncture Orlando for panic attacks and many of them have found permanent treatment for their emotional problems with this ancient medical procedure.
Chinese medicine practitioners some of which are acupuncturists and Chinese herbalists argue that negative extreme emotions such as anxiety, depression and stress are major factors that cause energy imbalances in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine such as acupuncture theorizes that stress, depression or anxiety builds up blockages in the energy vessels called meridians. Meridians convey and distribute vital force or life energy which the Chinese call chi that enables the growth, health and vitality of the body. When chi flow is blocked or stagnates, ailments and disorders arise. One common type of ailment caused by chi blockage is muscle pain in the neck and back in the blockage area. Besides muscle pain, the blockage can also lead to insomnia, high blood pressure or digestive problems. With acupuncture treatment, the needles create stimuli and energy that remove the blockage restoring energy balance to the body once again.
For anxiety and panic attacks, acupuncture treatment is usually done on the ear since the ear has meridians that connect to the organs that are energy deficient.
Physicians who have studied acupuncture believe that acupuncture helps remove anxiety and other negative extreme emotions by stimulating the production and release of natural opioids called endorphins to calm and relax the body and mind. This positive therapeutic effect can also lower blood pressure and heart rate, ameliorate blood flow throughout the body and help relax stiff tense muscles, which vastly reduces any pain and muscle spasms in the body.
