Acupuncture for Emotional Health
at
Union Yoga & Physical Therapy
Well hello!
I’m Dr. Danielle Rose, your neighborhood women’s health specialist in acupuncture and physical therapy here in Annandale, VA.
Over the years, I’ve worked with so many women who have struggled with stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm — and have found incredible relief through acupuncture and herbal medicine. I’d love to introduce you to the amazing world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its powerful, natural approach to emotional balance.
A Different Approach to Emotional Health
In Western medicine, emotional health challenges often receive a “one-size-fits-all” approach:
-
For depression → take this pill.
-
For anxiety → take that pill.
And while medications absolutely have their place, TCM offers a more individualized, holistic path — one that looks beneath the surface to uncover why you feel the way you do.
Your acupuncture and herbal treatment are tailored to your specific root causes, not just your symptoms.
How Traditional Chinese Medicine Views
Stress & Anxiety
Traditional Chinese Medicine sees emotional health issues as signs of imbalance in your body’s energy, or Qi. When that energy becomes blocked, deficient, or excessive, it creates inner chaos — which can show up as:
-
Racing thoughts or restlessness
-
Irritability or mood swings
-
Trouble sleeping
-
Heart palpitations
-
Feeling “wired but tired”
-
Digestive issues during stressful times
Rather than masking symptoms, acupuncture and herbs work to rebalance your system, calm your nervous system, and restore a sense of peace and clarity.
Common TCM Patterns Linked to Stress & Anxiety
Every person’s emotional health story is different. Here are two common TCM patterns I often see in my clinic:
Heat in the Blood
This can create mental agitation, irritability, and a general sense of internal heat. You might notice red eyes, restlessness, or even minor skin eruptions and breakouts.
Heart Yin Deficiency
Often seen in perimenopausal or menopausal women, this pattern can cause anxiety, night sweats, and warmth in the palms or chest, especially in the evening. Sleep may also be disturbed.
In both cases, acupuncture works to calm the mind and regulate your internal balance, while herbal formulas nourish and cool the body from within.
What to Expect from Treatment
Because acupuncture addresses the root cause, many patients start feeling calmer and clearer after their first or second session.
However, long-term balance takes time — most patients experience steady, lasting improvement within 4–8 sessions.
If you’d like to extend and deepen your results, herbal medicine is a wonderful complement. Herbs help maintain balance between visits and support your system as it adapts to less stress and greater ease.
