7: Top 15 Acupuncture Points to Calm the Mind (Podcast)

Did you know, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, 70% or more of all chronic physical disorders originate from mental or emotional trauma?
In this episode, I shares the 15 best acupuncture points to calm the mind, and why we use them in clinical practice. I also share acupuncture points combinations specifically for treating anxiety, insomnia, repressed emotions, and overthinking.
Chinese medicine and acupuncture's approach to calming the mind is quite effective. In fact, I have seen it over and over in my practice in the past 20 years! Acupuncture is fantastic for anxiety, depression, insomnia and more. It works very effectively especially if it’s done in conjunction with counselling and diet adjustments.
Be sure to listen to the end for my all time favourite acupuncture points combo to calm the mind!

Clara, listening to your pod cast has become my favorite morning routine (accompanied by my tea). You are a wonderful teacher and I'm impressed by your generosity. Your support has helped me rethink and improve my practice. While listening I recall my patient's cases and make new plans for them. ❤❤❤ thank you very very much. When you use this points for mental health, you just add them to the ones you are currently using for the main problem or you do them separately?

[@Acuproacademy]

I just stimulated HT7 and I felt the cold flow of energy starting from abdomen and flowing toward the extremity. My hands and feet are cold in the morning. I guess I have issues with parasympathetic nervous system causing vasoconstriction on my extremity. Moreover, I am in the process of Kundalini awakening and feeling electricity flowing through my body especially upper body. I think my chakras are opening up little by little right now. I am using electric ACS devices to stimulate different points on my body since I do not know how to use needle. I do not think electricity flowing symptoms are caused by devices since it did not happen everyday and I never had this tingling sensation before.

Thank you for sharing 🌷 self healing is quite difficult. I would suggest you go see a qualified practitioner in your area to guide you 🙏

[@DongPeterChung]

@@Acuproacademy Anyways, my favorite acupuncture location is thumb surface. I heard that it is connected to the brain.

[@Acuproacademy]

@@DongPeterChung yes 👏

I wanted to really like acupuncture. I had my first session August 2022 four months after my husband passed. I thought it might help my grief. The lady I went to put needles everywhere. My head my neck, face, stomach area, elbows, wrists, fingers, legs, feet. The needles throbbed and hurt. I reclined on the table like that for 45 min. When I left I felt really great and happy. By that evening I felt really bad. I felt terrible for about 2 weeks, very depressed very sore and achy. I felt like I might not make it. I stopped having periods and haven’t had one since. I’m 56 so it may have been time for me to stop. I wish it had worked for me! I went to her to help my weak swallow and grief. I’ve been unable to swallow solid food since 2012. I’m on a liquid diet. Do you know why I felt so depressed and sick after acupuncture? Thank you, Angela

[@Acuproacademy]

Wow, I’m so sorry Angela 🌷 it’s tough to say without knowing your full health and the trauma of loosing a loved one 🙏 I would have called and told her how you felt so she could guide you and answer your questions 💜 but I can understand why you’re not feeling good about acupuncture 😢 sending you love & light

[@angelagarner1904]

@@Acuproacademy thank you so much 😊 🌸

[@DongPeterChung]

Hello, doctor I have been stimulating pc6 and I see the cold sweaty hands and feet. Is this the symptom of cold qi coming out heart? Please tell me why stimulating pc6 and 8 makes hand cold.

[@Acuproacademy]

This points clear heat so if you don’t have excess heat, then they will make you cold 🌷

[@DongPeterChung]

I thought the trauma emotion was trapped in the organ and released through extremity as coldness and sweat. I feel much better when I stimulate pc6 or sp6 but it creates cold extremities, sweat, and sometimes loose stool. Does my concept make sense even a little bit? Thank you~

[@Acuproacademy]

@@DongPeterChung I never heard of emotions only coming out of cold and sweat, it can come out as crying, anger, fainting, dizziness… many ways 🌷

[@DongPeterChung]

@@Acuproacademy Yes, I include dizziness and one moment of crying caused by inner child awakening, haha. I call it a inner child or Christ like crying.
