Details

Chronic stress activates the autonomic nervous system and keeps the body locked in the so-called fight, flight or freeze state. Cortisol levels rise, the heart races, breathing becomes shallow and muscles tense. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, insomnia, anxiety and a weakened immune system.

This session uses a gentle, targeted acupuncture approach to stimulate points that activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the branch responsible for rest, recovery and repair. No prior diagnostic work is needed, as the treatment acts directly to release physical tension and emotional pressure.

Many clients feel a deep sense of calm, easier breathing, and better self-connection after just one session. It’s especially helpful during periods of heightened stress or mental fatigue.

Benefits of Stress Relief Acupuncture

Nervous-System Restoration & Calm

The treatment activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for regeneration, balance, and a steady inner state.

Deep Physical Relaxation & Tension Release

Acupuncture helps the body shift from a state of stress to one of calm, letting go of muscular and emotional tension.

Improved Breathing & Circulation

The body naturally relaxes, breathing deepens, and circulation flows more freely, further supporting recovery.

Better Sleep & Mental Clarity

By lowering stress levels, the mind clears, leading to higher-quality sleep, sharper focus, and easier decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any uncertainties before your visit, you’ll find answers to our most common questions below. Our goal is to give you a sense of security and clarity so that choosing a treatment feels as relaxed as possible.

How quickly will I feel the effects of the treatment?

Many clients notice clear relief after just one session, with a calmer mind, deeper breathing and a more relaxed body. The effect peaks within the first 24 hours and can last several days, depending on how chronic the stress is and its after-effects. Regular sessions deepen and prolong the benefits.

Do I need to undress or change clothes before the session?

The treatment can be performed while you’re in loose, comfortable clothing, with no need to change. Still, some people prefer to remove tight garments in the privacy of the treatment room and cover themselves with a disposable sheet. Needles are placed on easily accessible areas—most often the arms and legs, as well as the abdomen and ears, and sometimes on the scalp.

Exactly how does acupuncture help with stress?

Acupuncture modulates the autonomic nervous system by reducing sympathetic activity and enhancing the parasympathetic response responsible for rest and recovery. By stimulating specific points, it influences the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, lowering cortisol, the primary stress hormone. It also triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, which lift mood and promote emotional balance.

How often should I come?

A single session can already make a difference, but for longer-lasting results, we generally suggest weekly visits for the first few appointments, or whatever suits your needs. The pace is agreed individually with your practitioner, with no obligation.

Will the treatment help me perform better under pressure?

Yes. Acupuncture doesn’t just ease immediate tension; over time, it strengthens your resilience to stress. Clients often report greater composure, sharper focus, and calmer reactions in challenging situations.

Can I return to my duties right after the session?

Absolutely. The treatment won’t leave you tired or disrupt your day. Most people feel refreshed, focused, and ready to carry on. Occasionally, if you’ve been under prolonged stress, the session may prompt deep recovery, and you might feel more fatigued than usual. In that case, simply give yourself some rest and turn in early—the next day you’ll feel revitalised.

Do I have to believe in acupuncture for it to work?

No. Acupuncture’s effects are rooted in physiological processes, not belief. Even if you’re sceptical, your body will recognise and make use of the support when you’re under stress.
