Depression
Acupuncture has a positive mood regulating and mood elevating effect and can be an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression. Patients often report feeling lighter and clearer, more relaxed and more energized after treatment. Additionally herbal medicines like custom Flower Essence therapy can help lift moods, lighten spirits and treat ongoing depression naturally without side effects of stronger mediations. Acupuncture and herbal medicine, together with psychotherapy and in some cases medication, if needed, is a reasonable holistic approach for treating depression.
