PTSD is not just about military. Acupuncture helps.
We hear a lot about PTSD these days w/ soldiers returning from the battles they experienced in war. But, PTSD also occurs in non-military people. It can result from other trauma as well .... and for some, the trauma might be something that others wouldn't consider "traumatic". The reasons for PTSD are very individual. Why use acupuncture? Becase when there are energetic remnants of past experiences that caused anxiety, similar events in today may cause the PTSD sort of reaction. And, although there have been no mechanistic studies of acupuncture in human PTSD, extant research shows that acupuncture has biological effects that are relevant to PTSD pathology. Conceptual, clinical, and biological data support the efficacy of acupuncture for PTSD.
