Is acupuncture effective for depression?

Yes, this has been validated by numerous studies. Acupoints like Hegu (LI4) and Taichong (LR3), collectively known as the "Four Gates points," help unblock stagnant qi, while Baihui (GV20) on the top of the head helps to awaken the brain. Acupuncture treatment promotes the secretion of serotonin and endorphins, providing an immediate mood-lifting effect.
