Anxiety is a classic example of the inseparable interconnectedness of our physical and mental emotional health. The holistic diagnosis and treatment approach of classical Chinese medicine acknowledges and embraces that our bodies can experience physical symptoms as a result of mental emotional stress or conversely that not feeling physically well can trigger increased mental emotional dis-ease. Due to its holistic mind-body approach to healing, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are particularly well suited to treat both the mental emotional and physical dysfunctional aspects of anxiety attacks.
