DAAN Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture

One woman’s account on how acupuncture helps her friend living with stress. DAAN’s Acupuncturist Susan Yen offers Acupuncture treatment for stress and many other ailments.
“By Lynn Jaffee My friend, Karla, seems to catch every illness that is going around. She recently had the intestinal flu that her kids caught a few weeks earlier. This was right after she had gotten over a nasty cold. Last week she was laid out with a headache that made it impossible for her to concentrate at work. When I think about Karla, I realize that she is one of the most stressed women I know. She worries about her husband’s job, struggles to balance work and her kid’s after-school activities, and is the consummate volunteer. She is overwhelmed and on the go, and it makes perfect sense to me that she doesn’t feel well much of the time. We know that stress makes us ill; because when we are stressed our bodies produce cortisol and other hormones that in overabundance can damage our health. In addition, prolonged stress keeps our bodies in a constant state of readiness, which is ultimately depleting.”
