How we use Acupuncture to ease Insomnia

In Chinese Medicine, there are many causes of insomnia, so we tailor our treatments to best suit you as an individual.

Acupuncture works by switching the mind and body into ‘rest and restore’ mode and out of ‘fight or flight’ mode'. This means the body can then focus on its normal functions including balancing sleep (circadian) rhythms and healing.

Acupuncture is also great at reducing many types of pain, and for calming anxiety which can be additional reasons for poor sleep.
