Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and proponents of acupuncture claim there are various acupuncture points for insomnia. Stimulating these points helps ease some symptoms of health issues, including insomnia.
So, are you struggling to get a good night’s sleep? Here, at Acubody, we can help you sleep better through the stimulation of the following potent acupuncture points for sleep:
- An Mian
This point is located behind the ear and is known for promoting relaxation and calming the mind. The stimulation of this point reduces muscle tension behind the ears and balances the flow of energy. It addresses the root causes of insomnia and treats them well.
An Mian is also helpful in stimulating a serene mental state before bedtime.
- Yin Tang
This point is situated between the eyebrows and is well-known for alleviating stress and promoting mental clarity. Stimulating this point is known for inducing tranquillity, which combats insomnia and promotes restful sleep.
Also known as Spirit Gate, this point is located on the crease, on the elbow, towards the ulnar side. This acupuncture point is renowned for its ability to ease anxiety and calm the mind. It promotes restful sleep and is particularly effective for insomnia caused by heart-related issues or emotional disturbances.
- San Yin Jiao
Also known as SP6, this point is located above the inner ankle bone, on the back edge of the tibia. This point has been proven to improve sleep patterns for people struggling with insomnia. It is also well-known for improving menstrual pains, urination-related issues, and other pelvis-related issues, which can significantly impact one’s sleep.
- Wind Pool 0r GB 20
GB 20 is one of the fastest and most effective acupressure points to lower blood pressure. These points are found just below the base of the skull, in the depressions on either side of the spine. Through the stimulation of these points, you can improve your breathing. Improper breathing is one of the most common factors leading to sleep disturbances and, thus, insomnia.
- LV3
Also known as Tai Chong, this point is located on the spot where the skin of the big toe and the next toe connect. Acupuncturists believe that stimulating this point helps with unexplained insomnia and also alleviates stress and anxiety-related sleeplessness. Researchers have found that applying pressure on this point for three minutes can improve sleep.
