Question:
Has anyone heard that Anxiety & Insomnia (one and the same) can successfully
be treated by acupuncture? Has anyone use acupuncture for this?
Answer:
As a recently graduated (awaiting licensing) acupuncture physician, I can tell
you that acupuncture works well for things like anxiety, insomnia, and depression, as
well as the more-commonly known treatments for addictions and pain management.
Unlike Western medicine, however, you cannot expect to be "cured" on your first
visit, but you should feel an improvement right away. Some practicioners will use
standard acupuncture, some use auricular (ear) acupuncture, and some use a combination.
