How to Reduce Stress Naturally with Acupuncture

Comments are closedComments are closed

Stress is meant to give our bodies a “warning signal,” which was very useful to our ancestors when they were chased by tigers, bears or any other animal looking for an evening meal. Stress triggers a “fight or flight” response. This response was vital to keep our ancestors alive. But that was then. This is now.
