Research Supporting Acupuncture for Anxiety
The British Acupuncture Council provides fact sheets showcasing scientific evidence that supports acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating anxiety. Numerous randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews demonstrate how acupuncture can help alleviate conditions like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder by balancing the nervous system and promoting mental health.
Acupuncture is also shown to reduce preoperative anxiety and help manage post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), offering relief without medication. For those seeking complementary and alternative medicine, acupuncture provides a natural, proven way to manage anxiety.
