Acupressure for insomnia
Having trouble falling asleep, waking up easily, unable to fall back asleep, or even staying awake all night?
In TCM, insomnia is often attributed to restlessness, excessive liver heat, or deficiencies in the heart and spleen. To address these issues, herbal medicine and acupuncture are commonly used.
🌿 TCM herbs work to regulate the body’s internal balance and alleviate insomnia symptoms. Specific herbs like sour jujube seed, lily bulb, and polygala are known for their calming effects and ability to improve sleep quality.
👩🏻⚕️Acupuncture targets specific points to promote blood circulation and balance yin and yang, thereby calming the mind and inducing sleep. It can also reduce stress and anxiety, promoting overall relaxation of both body and mind. 💆🏻
