Acupuncture for Insomnia and Sleep Disorders
We help balance your nervous system so you can fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up rested.
INSOMNIA COMES IN MANY FORMS
Difficulty getting to Sleep
This is due to an imbalance in the spleen and stomach meridian and organ. Mostly this is due to over thinking and excessive amounts of sweet foods and coffee.
WAKING UP BETWEEN 1-3AM
This is due to disharmony of the liver and gallbladder. Emotions such as anger or frustration, consuming alcohol or coffee, and being under stress will negatively affect the liver and gall bladder.
WAKING UP EARLY FROM 3 AM OR CAN’T GO BACK TO SLEEP
This is due to a disharmony of the kidney/bladder meridian and adrenal system. This type of sleep disorder is made worse by exercising after 5 pm, not eating properly during the day. When adrenal is released, this will make it more difficult to sleep.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR SESSION
Your first appointment runs for one hour. We start by asking about your sleep pattern, general health, and lifestyle to identify which imbalance is affecting your sleep. From there we use fine needles at specific points to help calm the nervous system and support your body's natural sleep cycle.Most clients feel a sense of calm during and after treatment. We generally recommend a course of sessions rather than a single visit, since insomnia often builds up over time and the body needs a few sessions to respond consistently.We're based in Currumbin Waters on the Gold Coast and see clients from Tugun, Palm Beach, Coolangatta, and Tweed Heads.
