Why Can’t You Sleep? The Hidden Causes of Insomnia - Acupuncture for Insomnia

Updated: Jan 31


Acupuncture for Insomnia

It’s 2 a.m. You’ve been tossing and turning, your mind racing with endless thoughts. You try breathing exercises, adjusting your pillows, even counting sheep—but nothing works. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Over 35% of adults suffer from insomnia, and millions rely on sleeping pills that can lead to dependency and grogginess the next day.

But what if the secret to restful, natural sleep has been around for over 2,500 years?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a powerful, evidence-based approach to treating insomnia—without drugs or harmful side effects. At Shu Jun Healthcare, we specialize in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and holistic therapies to help reset your body’s natural sleep cycle and restore balance.

The Science Behind Acupuncture for Insomnia

Acupuncture isn’t just a mystical Eastern practice—it’s backed by science. Studies show that acupuncture increases melatonin production, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Acupuncture for insomnia have good results.

✔ A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that participants who received acupuncture experienced less anxiety, increased melatonin levels, and improved sleep efficiency. ✔ Harvard Medical School reports that acupuncture calms the nervous system, reducing stress hormones like cortisol, which disrupt sleep. ✔ Brain imaging studies reveal that acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and deep sleep.


How TCM Restores Your Sleep Naturally

At Shu Jun Healthcare, we use a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, and cupping therapy to tackle the root causes of insomnia, not just the symptoms. Here’s how each method works:

🌿 Acupuncture: Stimulates specific meridians to improve blood circulation, calm the mind, and promote deep sleep. 🌱 Herbal Medicine: Natural Chinese herbs like Suan Zao Ren (Ziziphus) and Bai Zi Ren (Biota Seed) have been shown to support sleep without causing drowsiness. 💆 Therapeutic Massage: Reduces muscle tension and stress, helping the body transition into a state of rest and relaxation. 🔥 Moxibustion Therapy: Uses the herb Mugwort to warm key acupuncture points, enhancing circulation and calming the nervous system. 🥣 Cupping Therapy: Promotes detoxification, reducing stress and improving oxygen flow to the brain for deeper rest.

Why Western Medicine Falls Short

Sleeping pills may knock you out, but they don’t fix the underlying issues. Many insomnia cases are due to stress, energy imbalances, or poor circulation—things that medication can’t address.

TCM treats the whole person, not just the symptom. By realigning the body’s natural rhythms, you’ll experience restful, uninterrupted sleep—naturally.
