Anxiety – A Holistic Approach (Brookline, Boston area or Virtual Options)
When working together with us, a customized program is created for you and your unique presentation of symptoms to create long lasting relief. The goal is to understand the underlying causes of the anxiety, and address each of them from a mind-body approach. Common pieces of the program are included below.
Acupuncture for Anxiety
Gently encourages the body to move out of the fight or flight state and promotes the calming part of the nervous system to become more dominant over time (the parasympathetic nervous system). For more information about acupuncture at Inner Sage Boston Acupuncture & Wellness, LLC, check out our Acupuncture Link.
Nutrition/Diet for Anxiety
An under-appreciated and lesser known trigger of anxiety is nutritional deficiencies and imbalanced diet. For example, ups and downs in blood sugar during the day can cause symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, sweating, shortness of breath, fatigue, jittery feelings, brain fog. These symptoms can overlap with anxiety, exacerbate anxiety, or even trigger the brain into feeling anxiety or panic.
Other dietary triggers of anxiety include stimulants, caffeine, sugars, food sensitivities, allergies, or nutritional imbalances. Imbalanced blood sugar can cause the body to release stress hormone cortisol. Our programs look at these things closely to help you create an optimal diet to support well-being. To see more potential triggers for anxiety, see our blog on Anxiety Triggers
Lifestyle/Relaxation Techniques
We take a look together at your daily routines and schedule to identify areas that could use some support. We help you to incorporate self-care that fits your life and needs. Eg. meditations, exercises, visualizations, anchors throughout your day, mindset, sleep hygiene, etc. Inadequate sleep prevents the body from being able to manage and tolerate daily stressors on the system.
The above are some examples of our Holistic Anxiety programs. Each program is customized to support your specific needs and schedule.
