Some people are more likely to suffer from panic attacks than others.
People experiencing a panic or anxiety attack, may have symptoms such as sweating, choking, shivering, shortness of breath, and more.
These attacks can be due to genetics, different situations in life, medication taken, health conditions, and the list goes on.
One way to deal with such attacks is by acupuncture, an ancient Chinese method of healing.
This method encourages the body's natural healing and improves it's functioning.
It is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine filiform needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes.
Once you decide on acupuncture as your treatment, your acupuncturist will talk to you about the situation and see where the imbalance is.
After the diagnosis, he/she will decide on the specific points that should be treated.
The treatment is done by using very thin needles on specific points, which are located on the body's meridians - energy channels.
The needles unblock any obstruction in the energy flow, therefore returning the balance to the body.
As acupuncture is a holistic treatment, your acupuncturist may suggest further treatment, such as a change in your diet, or certain herbal prescriptions.
The purpose of all this is to give your body the whole balance it needs in order to be relieved from panic attacks.
Latest studies show that patients who suffered from anxiety and panic disorders reported a huge improvement in their situation.
Further studies of the holistic methods are being made.
