Sleep & Insomnia
Sleep is a vital part of overall health and well-being. During this time, your body gets the opportunity to heal and repair from the activities and stress of waking hours. Hormone levels such as cortisol, thyroid, melatonin, and growth hormone go up or down to re-regulate various systems in your body.
Not getting enough restful sleep can wreak havoc on the body over time causing elevated stress, brain fog, lack of motivation and concentration, weight gain, pain, and mental/emotional issues.
There are many reasons one may struggle with poor sleep or insomnia. Because acupuncture is so effective in balancing the different systems involved, many people have great success with restoring restful sleep after receiving treatments.
