Treat Insomnia with Acupuncture

 

Besides the relaxing effect of acupuncture by releasing specific substances in the brain, it has been proven that needling acupoints for insomnia can stimulate the release of melatonin.

 

Melatonin plays a role in regulating the sleep-awake cycle. High levels of melatonin allow our body to go through the sleeping cycle and thus fighting insomnia.
