Treatment of Mood Swings With Acupuncture

Acupuncture therapy - alternative medicineMood swings may have several causes that include chemical and hormonal imbalance, stress, PMS, medication usage, and diet. Various types of physical illness can also cause mood highs and lows.
Acupuncture has been shown to stabilize mood by treating hormone imbalance symptoms.

These symptoms of mood swings can be alleviated with acupuncture:
• Irritability
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Difficulties concentrating

Anti-depressants and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are often recommended to treat mood swings. However, HRT has been associated with certain cancer risks and medications can have negative side effects, such as weight gain, headaches and insomnia.

Acupuncture treats the symptoms and causes of mood swings by balancing the subtle energies within the body naturally. Balancing the energetic qi flow within various body systems minimizes the frequency and intensity of mood swings. Acupuncture increases endorphin, dopamine and norepinephrine levels, which produces a positive mood state.

In addition to acupuncture, lifestyle changes may be recommended by your acupuncture physician. Stress reduction techniques, a balanced diet and regular exercise can all have positive effects on mood swings.

Acupuncture & Massage College’s Community Clinic offers acupuncture, massage therapy and herbal medicine for the treatment of a wide range of health conditions as well as for overall wellness. To schedule an appointment call (305) 595-9500.
