Insomnia often stems from what TCM calls 'Heart-Kidney disharmony' or 'Liver Qi stagnation' - patterns that disrupt the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Acupuncture helps regulate cortisol levels, increase natural melatonin production, and calm an overactive nervous system. Treatment points are selected to nourish the organs responsible for sleep regulation while addressing contributing factors like stress, hormonal changes, or digestive issues. Herbal medicine complements acupuncture by providing sustained support for nervous system balance. Most patients notice improved sleep quality within the first few treatments, with significant improvements typically occurring after 6-8 sessions.

Most patients require 6-8 sessions for optimal results, with many noticing improvements in sleep quality and duration within 3-4 treatments.
