Acupuncture Reduces Irritability

October 18, 2018 By Mark Molinoff



Do you or someone you love seem to spend a lot of time feeling irritable? Do they have a short fuse, get easily triggered, blow up all the time or yell way too often. These people, who are your friends, family or even yourself are NOT crazy. They do not have some incurable mental illness. What they are experiencing is nothing more than an imbalance in their body that makes them much more easily triggered and irritable. Acupuncture reduces irritability safely, naturally and effectively.

What Causes Irritability?

In Chinese medicine irritability is caused by Qi stagnation and heat. Qi is the energy that flows through the body, kind of like how the blood circulates through the vessels. Qi moves through channels. It nourishes the organs, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Qi moves the blood. Qi is very, very important. It plays a key role in how acupuncture reduces irritability L.

When we are under stress, it causes our Qi to stagnate. Qi stagnation is stuck Qi, not flowing smoothly through the body and inside the organs. In some people, depending on their constitution, stuck Qi will more easily generate heat. Think of too many cars on the highway during rush hour. Stagnation and heat. For these people, this triggers the feeling of irritability and anger. We call this pattern Liver Fire.

How Acupuncture Reduces Irritability

Chinese medicine treats all conditions by bringing the body back into balance. In the case of irritability, since we know the imbalance is often a Liver Fire pattern, we treat with acupuncture to move the Qi and clear the heat. There are specific points in the body for moving stagnant Qi and for clearing heat and fire.

Not only does this bring quick relief, it brings long lasting change for the person suffering from irritability. That’s because acupuncture helps their body move Qi better under stress on an ongoing basis. When we needle a Qi moving point, it is actually strengthening the body to keep moving Qi in the future. Our bodies are designed to work like a well oiled machine. Acupuncture tunes up the body, allowing it to work the way it was designed.

What our Clients are Saying

I was feeling depressed and stressed because I didn’t like my job and didn’t know what to do with my life.  I started taking Lexipro but it really affected my libido so I stopped taking it.  I tried acupuncture because my husband said it helped him when he was depressed years earlier (before he met me!)  I went to Raleigh Acupuncture and started treatments.  They were really knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and explained how the body gets stuck in depression, and how the acupuncture gets the body unstuck.  They really listened to me and helped me figure stuff out.  I started feeling less depressed.  Then I actually started getting more clear about what I wanted to do with my life career-wise.  I decided to go back to school and now I’m almost done with my degree.  I haven’t felt depressed at all since I was treated and I’m really excited about my life.  I’m very grateful to them for being such great healers and such a great support to me when I really needed it.

Thank you for your gentle healing spirit. May God bless you as you help others in the healing methods of acupuncture.. My sessions for stress relief were very helpful. In gratitude.

Susie W

I just started acupuncture and I can really see the benefits. I’ve done massages and all the Western style treatments but this is amazing! It relaxes me in ways I didn’t know could happen and I feel immediate results. I would recommend acupuncture as a treatment. The doctor was great in my initial meeting more thorough than my regular doctor. Highly recommend this!
