Not being able to sleep is a horrible experience. You lie there in bed and watch as the hands on the clock move from number to number…no matter how many sheep you count, you remain wide awake. Sound familiar? If the answer is yes, you might suffer from insomnia. And while teas and other home remedies might not do the trick, we’re happy to tell you we have a solution for you: Greg Maruki Acupuncture.
What is insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can manifest in multiple different ways. For example, you might have difficulty falling asleep, or you might have difficulty staying asleep, or, just as frustratingly, you might be waking up too early without being able to fall back asleep. In some cases, the patient suffers from all three variations we just described.
While it is unusual for everyone to experience some slight form of insomnia at one point or another, it can become a serious problem when it persists for days or even weeks without end –– most people start getting dysfunctional after just one all-nighter.
Treatment for insomnia
If you suffer from insomnia, chances are you’ve already tried a few remedies: herbal teas, melatonin, a cup of warm milk…depending on how long you’ve been without sleep –– and how desperate you have become in the process –– you likely have tried it all. There remains one treatment option that is highly effective but many people don’t know about: acupuncture. Let us tell you more.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient form of traditional medicine that has been around with us for centuries.
