Pressure Points for Anxiety

Anxiety falls under the TCM categories of depression syndrome and insomnia, often caused by emotional distress, excessive worry, or heart-spleen deficiency. TCM holds that the heart governs the mind and the liver regulates qi flow. Acupressure can calm the mind, soothe the liver, and regulate qi flow, providing effective support for anxiety relief.
