Traditional Chinese Medicine identifies specific patterns that disrupt sleep, such as Heart-Kidney imbalance or Liver Qi stagnation. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system by reducing cortisol levels and supporting natural melatonin production. Treatment points are selected based on your specific sleep pattern and underlying constitution. We often combine acupuncture with customized herbal formulas that gently support the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. This comprehensive approach addresses anxiety, racing thoughts, frequent waking, and difficulty falling asleep by restoring balance to your body's energy systems.
What to Expect at Flushing Acupuncture & TCM
Treatment begins with detailed sleep diary analysis and assessment of factors affecting your rest. Dr. Li will identify your specific sleep pattern and underlying TCM constitution. Most patients need 6-8 sessions for lasting improvement, with many noticing better sleep quality within 3-4 treatments. Sessions focus on calming points that help quiet mental activity and support deep rest. We'll provide sleep hygiene recommendations and may suggest supportive herbs.
