😴 Trouble Sleeping? Acupuncture Can Help — Here’s How
Lately, a lot of our patients have been sharing the same struggle: falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sleep issues are often linked to imbalances in the Heart, Liver, or Kidney meridians — all of which affect the nervous system, stress levels, and internal rhythm.
💡 Here's how acupuncture supports better sleep:
🪡 Calms an overactive mind by regulating the nervous system
🪡 Helps shift the body out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest”
🪡 Balances hormones like melatonin and cortisol
🪡 Addresses underlying patterns like anxiety, digestive issues, or night sweats
🪡 Encourages deeper, more restorative sleep over time
It’s not just about getting to sleep — it’s about helping the body remember how to rest, naturally.
✨ Many of our patients report improved sleep within just a few sessions — often alongside less stress, fewer headaches, and better mood.
🛏️ Try This At-Home Acupressure Tip Tonight:
Before bed, try gently massaging the point Yin Tang — located between your eyebrows (often called the "third eye").
Use your index finger to apply light, circular pressure for 1–2 minutes while breathing slowly.
This can help calm the mind and prepare your body for rest.
Small habits, big shifts — especially when paired with acupuncture.
