Thanks for the information on testimonials. I have had one treatment and will have 5 in all. I am also taking two Chinese herbs.

I have no experience with Chinese herbs, but for insomnia/anxiety I have found that extra Vitamin C (a gram/day) also helps out a lot. Good luck!

I had acupunture administered, along with herbs, for almost two years and it really helped my anxiety when I needed it the most. I've since moved on but it was a huge step in my progress.

Good luck.

I have no experience with that, but I have heard that acupuncture helps with anxiety.

I am no doctor but I know Ginseng is a herb that helps promote a positive and optimistic sensation when taken. Go get ask a chinese medicine doctor for advice. However never buy ginseng extracts as they are usually not very good for you and the FDA does not regulate it. Always get raw or dried ginseng and brew it in a soup or in plain water to make a tea.

I have wanted to try acupuncture for the longest time. I actually live in an apartment one floor above an acupuncture/pressure place, but I can't work up the nerves to go. The needles creep me out even though they are so small.
