Angie Harding is President of Acupuncture New Zealand and talks to Heiko Lade about the Mental Health theme of the 2019 annual conference.
Acupuncture is well known for its use in the treatment of pain and injuries but the general public is unaware that acupuncture has been used for centuries to address mental-emotional issues.
With the rise of mental health problems seen in New Zealand and the fact that more than 13% of the population have been prescribed anti-depressants, acupuncture to help with stress and mental health may be a good alternative.
Listen to the show and find out about some of the speakers that will be attending the conference and how acupuncture may be used to address mental health issues.
