Can acupuncture really help to relieve depression and improve your mood? The answer is “YES, Acupuncture Relieves Depression.” Chinese medicine evaluates the function of the different organs to find which organs may be out of balance which can result in depressed mood and anxiety. The main organs that are evaluated include the heart, the spleen, the liver, the kidneys and the lungs. Emotions associated with each organ include anger (liver), fear (kidneys), over-thinking (spleen), joy/fright (heart) and grief (lungs).
In order for a person to be balanced emotionally, one must have freely flowing Qi (pronounced Chee) or the vital force flowing throughout the body. Blockage of Qi can result in physical and emotional symptoms. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, an acupuncture physician can regulate the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body to improve mood, relieve stress and calm the mind.
