Get Better Sleep

Alleviate sleep disorders, such as insomnia, by reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

According to a study published in the Journal of Sleep Research, acupuncture can improve sleep quality, reduce insomnia symptoms, and increase melatonin secretion in adults with insomnia.1

Depending on the concern, treatments may need a few sessions over the period of about a month, while chronic insomnia may require more than one course of treatment over a longer period.

We will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, fu subcutaneous needling, and dietary therapy.

How Can it Help?

Treatment can help increase the release of natural melatonin in the body to help improve sleep - Traditional Chinese Medicine  (TCM) may be a natural and effective solution for you.

By stimulating specific points on the body that improves the flow of Qi energy, by using

  • acupuncture (including electro acupuncture & FSN),
  • cupping
  • or one of our other combined treatments.

We can help regulate the body's Qi flow energy, balance hormones, and promote relaxation, which can help improve the quality of sleep.

Herbal medicine can also be beneficial for sleep issues. Chinese herbs such as Suan Zao Ren

(sour jujube seed) and Wu Wei Zi (schisandra fruit) have been traditionally used to calm the

mind and promote sleep. 

A trial published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that

herbal medicine can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce sleep latency (time to fall

asleep) in people with insomnia. 2

Fu subcutaneous needling has also been shown to improve sleep quality in people with

chronic insomnia, according to a study published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese

Medicine. 3
