Life is super weird right now. Anxiety and stress are at an all-time high so now may be the time to think outside of the box when it comes to taking some of that pressure off. Though many people may put acupuncture—the ancient practice of inserting the end of a thin needle into your body to relieve pain and reduce stress—under the woo-woo medicine category, you may want to take a second look.
A 2015 study found that acupuncture helped people with anxiety that didn’t respond to other treatments. The study subjects received ten 30-minute sessions of acupuncture over 12 weeks and saw a major reduction in their anxiety, even after only 10 weeks of treatment. It can also be great for helping with pain points in your body. A 2012 study found it had a positive impact on chronic pain conditions like neck, back, shoulder pain and headaches.
