Anxiety and Loss of Appetite

Hello, I have severe anxiety and have lost my appetite. Can you help with points to increase and stimulate appetite? Thank you (the anxiety is also worse due to hormone imbalance - perimenopause)

Matthew's reply: Hi Sia, these acupressure and breathing exercises should help relieve your anxiety and for poor appetite try these exercises and self-massage techniques. Start with the ones that seem to best match your situation. Try them for a couple of weeks. If you don't get much relief I suggest you consult a Chinese medicine practitioner regarding Chinese herbal medicine - it is very effective for anxiety, loss of appetite and many other conditions.

Any further questions or comments on traditional Chinese remedies for anxiety and loss of appetite please post below.

All the best,

Matthew
