Insomnia & Sleep Disorders

Insomnia is one of the most common diseases in our modern society. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that occurs when sleeping individuals have a hard time falling asleep, wake frequently during the night, experience dreams that wake them, or waking and are unable to fall back to sleep. Insomnia can affect a person's quality of life during the day. It can also cause various problems such as fatigue, weakness, and anxiety. Sleep deprivation can affect one's work and studies. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that insomnia is caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalance, poor blood circulation, and possible issues related to the organs' internal structures. Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses your symptoms and the causes of your sleep problems in order to bring you lasting restful sleep.

Stimulating this system produces a feeling of relaxation and calm. With acupuncture your brain will counter the effects of depression by learning to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system.
