Neuropuncture is the only complete neuroscience acupuncture system in the world that has been created by a traditionally trained acupuncturist for the traditionally trained acupuncturist and anyone else who wants to learn how to apply twenty-first-century medical sciences to the classical acupuncture model, in an effort to bring acupuncture into the heart of mainstream medicine as opposed to leaving it on the outskirts. A "complete neuroscience acupuncture system" refers to the broad clinical application that Neuropuncture offers to any and all medical cases with which licensed acupuncturists are presented-from mental health conditions and internal medical conditions to orthopedic and pain management, including body, auricular, and scalp neuroscience acupuncture systems.

The human nervous system permeates and communicates with every cell and organ system on every level. Therefore, when individuals learn Neuropuncture's principles, they learn how to neuro-modulate, neuro-regulate, and neuro-rehabilitate the nervous system back into homeostasis and return the patient back to health. In Neuropuncture, we believe that our very unique, powerful neural networks are the often-mistranslated classical Chinese medical terms of Mai ? and Jing luo ??. We believe that these neural network pathways have been miscommunicated as meridians or energy channels for too many decades. We also see the neuroscience evidence clearly in the classical Deqi ?? phenomena represented below. The fact that our ancient predecessors acknowledged the Deqi ?? sensation illustrates that they were stimulating the nervous system and that those transmissions terminated in the brain, our master organic CPU, which controls every aspect and function in the human body.

CHAPTER ONE
Mental Health: Anxiety Disorder

Overview

Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life (Mayo clinic). There are many beneficial aspects of healthy fear and anxiety in our daily lives. Fear gives us strength to face immediate danger and motivates us to achieve; anxiety helps us to prepare for future danger and react to situations with stronger understanding (Harriman 2015). However, excessive and persistent worry and fear may involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense fear that can reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks) (Martin, Ressler, Binder, and Nemeroff 2009). These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control and out of proportion to the actual danger, sometimes can last a long time. Examples of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia, specific phobias, and separation anxiety disorder) (Mayo Clinic).

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the US, affecting 40 million adults age eighteen and older. People with this condition are three to five times more likely to go to the doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders than those who do not suffer from anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events (ADAA).

Signs and Symptoms

• Feeling nervous, restless, or tense
• Having a sense of impending danger, panic, or doom
• Breathing rapidly with increased heart rate
• Sweating
• Trembling
• Feeling weak or tired
• Having trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
• Having trouble sleeping
• Experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) problems

(Mayo Clinic)

Risk Factors

• Trauma: children who endured abuse or trauma or witnessed traumatic events are at higher risk of developing an anxiety disorder at some point in life. Adults who experience a traumatic event also can develop anxiety disorders.
• Stress due to an illness: having a health condition or serious illness can cause significant worry about issues such as your treatment and your future.
• Stress buildup: a bit of an event or a buildup of smaller stressful life situations may trigger excessive anxiety.
• Personality: people with certain personality types are more prone to anxiety disorders.
• Other mental health disorders: people with other mental health disorders, such as depression, often have ...
