Depression and Low Energy: How Acupuncture Supports Mental Wellbeing
Depression and low energy are among the most common struggles in modern London life. Many people find themselves stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, and lack of motivation — but their blood tests often look “normal,” leaving them with little more than antidepressants or lifestyle advice that doesn’t go far enough.
What if your pulse could reveal the underlying cause of this exhaustion — and point toward a natural, lasting solution?
This is where George’s world-renowned pulse diagnosis and acupuncture come together, offering clarity on what is going on in your body systems, mental and emotional tensions and how they are affecting each other - where conventional approaches fall short.
Understanding Depression and Energy Depletion
Depression isn’t just a mental health issue — it’s a whole-body imbalance. Low mood, poor concentration, restless sleep, digestive upset, and low libido are all signs that deeper systems may be struggling.
Energy depletion often comes from:
Stress and overwork draining the nervous system
Poor digestion preventing proper nutrient absorption
Hormonal imbalances from diet and lifestyle
Chronic inflammation affecting mood and cognition
Sleep disruption keeping the brain from recovering
Left untreated, this combination can spiral — low energy feeds low mood, and low mood worsens fatigue.
Why Conventional Medicine Misses the Full Picture
Antidepressants and stimulants may provide symptom relief, but they rarely address why the energy system is failing in the first place. Blood tests usually measure hormones, iron, or vitamin levels — yet many patients are told their results are “normal” while they continue to feel exhausted and low.
What’s missing is a real-time functional assessment of how the body’s systems are working together. This is where pulse diagnosis excels.
How Pulse Diagnosis Reveals the Emotional Landscape
Through subtle qualities in the wrist, pulse diagnosis can identify:
A lack of vibrancy and passion in the heart system linked with mood regulation
Blockages and inflammation in the liver caused by diet, stress or emotional suppression
Digestive problems such as leaky gut and Candida overgrowth draining vitality
Nervous system (and adrenal) depletion showing up long before burnout becomes clinical
Unlike tests that show only biochemical markers, the pulse shows how your body is functioning moment to moment as an integrated whole - including the emotional, mental, hormonal, neurological, nutritional and lifestyle imbalances behind depression.
Acupuncture for Mood and Energy
Once the root imbalance is clear, acupuncture provides a natural way to restore balance by:
Calming the nervous system and reducing stress hormones
Supporting heart and liver function to stabilise mood and inspire passion to return
Strengthening digestion for better energy production and motivation
Improving sleep quality to restore mental clarity and resilience
Enhancing circulation, leaving patients feeling lighter and more energised
This is not about masking symptoms — it’s about building a foundation for mental and physical wellbeing.
One patient described depression as “like living in a fog” — waking each morning already exhausted, unable to focus at work, and withdrawing socially. She had tried medication, therapy and supplements, which all helped but the fatigue persisted.
During her first consultation, pulse diagnosis revealed a clear depletion in her nervous system, alongside digestive weakness causing systemic inflammation. Treatment focused on both calming her stress response and restoring a healthy digestive tract from stomach to colon.
Instead of an immediate turnaround, progress came in layers: her sleep improved within the first month, her energy lifted steadily after six weeks, and only then did her mood begin to stabilise. She described the experience as “rebuilding myself from the ground up” - a far deeper transformation than she had expected.
Depression and low energy are not just in the mind — they are systemic imbalances that can be detected and corrected. While conventional medicine often misses the nuances, pulse diagnosis sees a much fuller picture, while acupuncture and natural dietary and lifestyle changes provide a practical, proven way to restore balance, harmony and vitality.
If you’re struggling with fatigue, low mood, or both, there is a way forward.
