What are the acupuncture points for insomnia?
While there are no specific points for insomnia, since the TCM diagnoses need to be considered, and in TCM we aim to find the root cause of the sleep impairment, I suggest basic points such as Yin Tang, Ear Shenmen, Heart7, Lung7, Liver3 and Kidney3. Again, points change based on TCM diagnoses and the many root causes of insomnia. READ MORE
How many acupuncture treatments are needed for migraines?
Migraines have origins from different places. They can be triggered by problems in your neck, hormones, blood pressure (hypo or hyper), thyroid disease, and sugar levels among other things. The idea for the treatment to be successful is in finding out the root cause of the migraine and treat that. I have had patients feel relief with as little as three treatments, taking others longer to feel better. READ MORE
