Who among us wouldn't benefit from a more restful night's sleep? 💤

Acupuncture emerges as one of the most effective therapies for combating insomnia and promoting restful sleep. But how does it achieve this?

Unlike treatments that solely focus on regulating the sleep-wake cycle, acupuncture improves sleep quality by enhancing serotonin levels in the brain. This neurotransmitter, which doubles as a hormone, is crucial in modulating functions like mood and sleep.

Research also suggests that acupuncture boosts the amino acid GABA levels, another neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation. A systematic review of 46 randomized trials involving 3,811 patients found that acupuncture, with or without accompanying medication, outperformed medication alone in enhancing total sleep duration.

Acupuncture may hold the answer if you're ready to reclaim restful nights.
