These graphs are from a patient I’ve been seeing since the summer for cosmetic acupuncture and stress reduction. She enjoys her treatments and looks forward to the relaxation they provide. Notice how even though there are some “bumps” in her data during treatment, over time we see a consistent and convincing decrease in her stress over time. Particularly of interest is her sympathetic activity (fright or flight) which has decreased significantly. Nice! (Of course the usual disclaimer that correlation does not equal causation….)
