Did you know that 10-30% of the population suffer from insomnia? The fast pace world that we live in filled with deadlines, social media, and expectations causes so much stress that is unique to our times. Sleep, which serves as a way for us to recover from the day, is hard to come by due to busy schedules and busy minds. With so many Americans having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting any sleep at all, we need to find unique solutions.
If other avenues have not worked for you, consider acupuncture. Acupuncture is a Chinese form of medicine that works to unblock meridians so Qi (energy) can flow more easily. Unblocked Qi flow is what constitutes a balanced and healthy body which means more restful sleep. Science has shown that stimulating acupuncture points also stimulates the nervous system involving a cascade of cytokines and hormones. Acupuncture has been known to help with pain management; however, a practitioner can use certain points to help with insomnia as well. One such point is a point between the center of your eyebrows called LongHui meaning meeting of dragons. One method if using this is pressing against this point while practicing meditation before bed. It’s worth a try!
