Expert: - 11/30/2008


Question
Have you ever seen a persons anxiety worsen after having accupuncture?

Answer
Hey Joy,

I must say that in the 10 years that I've been in practice, I haven't.

Great general points for anxiety are Pericardium 6, the four gates, (LI4 and LV3) and Heart 7.

Are you taking any herbs to go with the treatment?
Is your accupunturist also a chiropractor or m.d.?

What were your symptoms, and what was your treatment like?

If you feel like answering these quesstions, perhaps I can be of more use to you.

Take care,
