The brain depends on a good night’s rest and the quality of one’s health can be greatly affected from continuous sleepless nights.
Many studies show that continuous sleep deprivation can lead to:

• Hight blood pressure
• Increased cortisol levels
• Weight gain
• Increased risk for cardiovascular disease

The goal in treating insomnia in Chinese medicine is to bring balance back to the body.
After a complete intake and Chinese medical diagnosis is determined, the patient’s disharmony will be addressed. All aspects of a patient’s lifestyle are taken into consideration and acupuncture, herbs, dietary and lifestyle suggestions and/or combo of these therapies will be implemented.

Chinese medical treatment promotes sound sleep without drowsiness, addiction, and/or withdrawal.
