Acupuncture Point Combinations for Depression, Anxiety & Stress
21 CEU’s
Offered by Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine in Bradenton, FL
This workshop explores the complex and often subtle ways depression, anxiety, stress (DASS) and related emotional conditions manifest in clinical practice. Drawing on over 30 years of experience, I will examine common Zàng Fǔ patterns underlying presentations such as phobias, panic attacks, hypervigilance, frustration, anger, and overwhelm. The session also integrates perspectives from the Five Elements (and Archetypes), Five Spirits, and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels to deepen diagnostic and treatment insight. With a strong practical focus, participants will be introduced to dozens of acupuncture point combinations (APCs), including special categories such as the Kidney Spirit Gate points, that can be implemented immediately in clinic or adapted to suit individual presentations. Whether emotional distress is the primary complaint or part of a broader pattern, this workshop demonstrates how acupuncture can effectively support patients experiencing DASS-related condition,,
