What we Treat for Insomnia
Sleep plays a vital role in good health throughout your entire life. Quality sleep influences your mental health, physical health and overall quality of well-being.
There are different types of insomnia that TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) looks at. Some people can fall asleep fine, but wake often. Others cannot fall asleep because their mind is racing. Vivid dreams, hot flashes, or the need to use the washroom are other factors that prevent the body from quality rest. There are many combinations and causes of sleep issues, and TCM addresses them each differently through acupuncture and/or herbal therapy.
