Acupuncture is unsurpassed as an effective treatment for anxiety. Through its ability to switch the nervous system from the stressed Sympathetic state to the healing Para-Sympathetic state, it induces a deep state of serenity which can last for days.

Systemic inflammation and toxicity also cause a feeling of unease in the body. Through bloodwork, saliva tests, and hair mineral analysis, we are able to identify the source of these health imbalances. By restoring balance through diet and supplements, patients observe their anxiety decreases, replaced with a sense of thriving.

Herbal medicine is remarkably effective at treating anxiety, without the unpleasant side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Chinese medicine specializes in ancient formulas which target stabilizing mood. Also, I often prescribe CBD oil, an elixir derived from the marijuana plant. Non-toxic and non-intoxicating, CBD oil offers a whole host of health benefits, including the dramatic reduction of anxiety.

We ask all of our patients to take a personality test at the first appointment. This allows us to educate them about the kind of mental hard-wiring they received. Each of the 9 personality types induces specific preoccupations of thought, leading to the varieties of anxiety highlighted above. By learning how this works, individuals gain the ability to manually override their habitual negative thought patterns.

Fundamentally, anxiety is the result of feeling disconnected from one’s own spirit. When we are aligned with our own spirit, our true self, we immediately feel peaceful. However, most of us are never taught how to intentionally accomplish this. At LightWorks, we discuss with you the value of meditation and offer guidance on how to get started. By learning to quiet the chatter of the mind, one discovers they can hear their inner guidance clearly, bringing on a sense of calm and certainty. Through regular coaching, patients gain insight on how to heal their own trauma and feel uplifted.
