Acupuncture is widely used in treating insomnia in Asia. Many clinical studies have revealed that acupuncture is not only an effective treatment method, but also produces fewer side effects in comparison with Western medicine. Acupuncture helps restore the body balance, alleviate anxiety and depression, and improve sleep quality. When the body system balance is restored, common sleep problems, such as unable to fall asleep or lack of deep sleep, can be alleviated.
