Acupressure (acupuncture) for insomnia for good sleep
Chinese traditional medicine for rejuvenation and longevity is based on ancient philosophical teachings, which state that any treatment must begin with the distribution of energy in the human body. If energy flows pass through the body freely, then health problems do not arise. When an imbalance occurs, your health worsens and insomnia occurs. You can fight it not only with medications, but also with special acupressure.
Characteristics of the disease
Insomnia (asomnia, insomnia) is a disorder in which a person suffers for a long time from too little sleep, or poor sleep quality, or a combination of these two facts. For each individual, the number of hours of sleep considered sufficient for life is individual: some need at least 10 hours, while others wake up rested and refreshed after 5-6 hours.
The causes of asomnia are varied:
- stressful situations;
- various diseases;
- taking certain medications, narcotic drugs;
- elderly age;
- severe overexertion, fatigue;
- time zone change;
- problems with nerves and psyche;
- state of being in love;
- unsuitable room for restful sleep (noise, bright light).
Insomnia is defined as sleep disturbance at least 3 times a week for a month.
Why acupuncture is better than sleeping pills
As you can see, insomnia can be caused by a thousand reasons, the general name of which is disharmony within the body. To improve sleep, you need to find and correct the cause. Do sleeping pills do this? Of course not.
Sleeping pills seem to make the body sleep. But insomnia returns as soon as you stop taking the medications - and you can’t take them for a long time, they have serious side effects.
Such unnatural sleep does not give the body proper rest, and most importantly, it does not eliminate the real cause of insomnia. I'm not even talking about the fact that these drugs themselves are not harmless to the body.
Acupuncture can help relieve symptoms that keep you up at night. It launches the natural process of self-healing of the body, in which many problems are solved as if by themselves. All body systems are strengthened: nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, endocrine, immune. Sleep improves naturally.
The effectiveness of acupuncture is also confirmed by Western medicine. Acupuncture has been shown to release peptides that provide pain relief and relaxation. In addition, the needles stimulate neurohormonal pathways, releasing beta-endorphin feel-good hormones. Acupuncture also increases levels of the amino acid GABA, which acts as a neurotransmitter and promotes relaxation.
Well, from the point of view of Chinese medicine everything is simpler
