Piercing for Stress and Anxiety Relief - Shen Men, also known as the "Gate of Heaven", is placed at a specific point near the upper middle cartilage of the ear. Acupuncturists believe that stimulation at this point calms anxiety, boosts immunity, and centers the body, helping to balance energy, reduce stress, and promote overall physical and mental health. People with this piercing have reported less anxiety and were able to reduce their dosage of anxiety or depression medications.
If you are struggling with the emotionally draining effects of anxiety, it is worth trying the Shen Men piercing. If it works, you have found a useful solution to your pain; and if not, you can either keep the piercing or remove it (depending on your preference) with little to no side effects. Many choose to keep it simply because of its interesting, subtle aesthetic.
No doubt – Shen Men is always a win.
