The primary underlying cause of stress, anxiety, insomnia & depression including panic attacks is related to emotional excesses. We react twenty times stronger to emotional stimuli as emotions tend to link up with your imagination. Most of your emotional excesses come from 1. Careers, 2. Family, 3. Relationships, and 4. Irregular Eating Patterns. When left unaddressed, emotional excesses lead to stress. Stress affects the central nervous system (CNS). This inhibits our ability to relax and may lead to anxiety. Anxiety prevents us from focusing and can undermine our ability to lead a functional life. Severe anxiety may lead to insomnia. The inability to function normally and lack of sleep may soon lead to depression or panic attacks. Treating these symptoms long term with medications can lead to complications and limit your ability to live a fulfilling life. 

The Functional Medicine Approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only medicine in the world that has treated stress, anxiety, insomnia & depression including panic attacks naturally with the wisdom of 2000 years of written empirical clinical evidence.  Treatments may include Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Herbology, Diet & Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress Management. With 2000 years of wisdom applied with Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatments are natural, safe, effective, and self-sustaining.  In addition to many recent studies showing his treatments to be at least as effective treatment with medication, Dr. Barrett can boast a 90% effective rate in helping patients wean off medications and maintain a life free of stress, anxiety, insomnia & depression including panic attacks.

Testimonials for Clinical Effectiveness of Acupuncture for Stress, Anxiety, Insomnia & Depression.

Stress: Sue, Age 52 “Dr. Barrett, just wanted to let you know I felt great after seeing you this afternoon. I really feel like I’m on the right path as to getting back to “normal” per se. Sue”

Insomnia: Christina, Age 28 “Dear John, I just wanted to thank you for all of your help and attention with acupuncture and and for being so generous with your time. It feels so great to finally be having some decent sleep. I cannot tell you how relieved I feel. You are a wonderful doctor. Sincerely, Christina”

Insomnia, Anxiety: Sherry, Age 31 “I went to John to find out if there was a natural way to help me with my anxiety and insomnia. He recommended acupuncture and Chinese herbs. After one session of acupuncture I could tell a huge difference. I have been sleeping much better now and feel far less stressed. The experience was painless and comfortable. The environment that he has created in very soothing! He even plays relaxing music during the acupuncture procedure. I would have never thought that after only 2 treatment’s of acupuncture I could feel this good!”

Insomnia: Tony, Age 54 “Two days of good sleep and counting! My first night after treatment last Monday resulted in a deeper sleep while waking up twice. I slept through the night the second day and hope to do the same tonight thanks to your treatment and herbal supplements. Meanwhile, I hope all is well and look forward to seeing you soon. “

Snoring, Sleep Apnea: Dan, Age 31 “A throat and nose specialist suggested I spend the night under observation in a sleep clinic. If everything was as expected, he recommended that I have my tonsils removed and that all would be fine. After visiting Dr. Barrett, he recommended an herbal formula which he had designed to eliminate snoring. After my first cup of his formula, I noticed that my lungs, sinuses, and bronchioles were considerably more open, and my breath was much freer. That night I slept extremely well with neither sleep apnea nor snoring. I continued to drink this formula over the next couple of weeks, and it has been two years without any recurring effect. Being well aware of the pain, side effects, and recovery time to heal from having one’s tonsils removed, my wife and I are most thankful for Dr. Barrett’s advice and treatment.”
