Acupuncture:
A natural cure for Insomnia.
Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Do you lie awake tossing and turning? Do you wake up unable to fall back to sleep? Do you constantly feel exhausted and tired? Well you’re not alone roughly 50 to 70,000,000 Americans suffer from a sleep disorder and out of adults surveyed only one third said they got adequate amount of sleep each night. Those are pretty scary numbers when you consider how sleep is a vital function for the health and maintenance of our lives. In Chinese medicine sleep is one of the three pillars of health (eat, sleep, and let it go). If you don’t have those three you don’t have a solid foundation to build your health. But Chinese medicine isn’t alone, Western medicine medicine has also found lack of sleep to be tied many illnesses, such as mental distress, depression, anxiety, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol and those are just the highlights. If you’re not getting enough sleep every night, chances are you’re heading down a dangerous road.
Most people want a great night sleep, but most people resign themselves to poor or in adequate sleep and just accepted it as normal. Some people are desperate for a good nights sleep resort to taking medications. Medications can work, but sometimes they leave you feeling groggy and out of it in the morning. But medication doesn’t treat the root problem and the insomnia comes back as soon as you stop taking the medication or sometime after. I can understand people’s frustration, there is was a period in my life when I had trouble sleeping, no matter what I did I couldn’t seem to fall asleep. Luckily it happened at the time when I had Chinese medicine and I was able to treat it quickly.
There are many medications you can take for insomnia and most of them get results. The problem is they don’t treat the root cause, which means that you become dependent on the medication and eventually need the medication to be a lot have a decent nights sleep. The other problem with this method is that eventually the root cause that caused insomnia will eventually develop into more serious health condition. It’s like if your child was crying because they were hungry would you see them or would you put them in a room and closed the door until eventually you could hear them anymore. Both solutions would solve the problem but one of them would treat the root And I think we can both agree would be the better option.
The challenge of insomnia, is there many different types. While the each cause the same effect the root cause is different for each. Which means each need a different type of treatment. In Chinese medicine there are at least 12 different types of insomnia a person can have. The key to treating it correctly is understanding the root cause. Once the root cause is determined people notice their insomnia goes away as well as other minor health concerns improve.
