Acupuncture for Stress and Burnout: A Quiet Reset

Stress, anxiety, irritability, burnout — they don’t just live in the mind. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), emotional health is closely tied to the Heart, Liver, and Spleen systems.

The TCM Perspective

  • The Liver processes stress.

  • The Heart houses the mind and emotions.

  • The Spleen supports mental clarity and stability.

When these systems are out of sync, the effects show up quickly: racing thoughts, poor sleep, brain fog, or emotional ups and downs.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture works to regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and anchor qi. It’s a subtle but powerful shift — moving you from a fight-or-flight state to a more grounded one.

Why It Matters

For men who tend to bottle things up or push through stress until they crash, acupuncture offers a quiet, consistent reset. No therapizing, no pressure — just space for balance to return.
