Acupuncture for PTSD



Acupuncture for PTSD
Acupuncture has been shown in several studies to be effective in treating the symptoms of PTSD. Auricular acupuncture has been especially popular. As a proponent of integrating both eastern and western medicine in treating physical and/or mental illness, I would like to see a combined approach whenever possible to the treatment of this heartbreaking illness; one that can fracture families as well as individual lives. If a veteran or someone else suffering from PTSD could be treated by an integrated team of therapists, this could do much to help him or her safely put their traumatic experiences behind them in the past, where they belong. This important illness seems like an ideal one for such a team approach.
