Aside from improved sleep, people who've used acupuncture for insomnia treatment have reported obtaining a greater feeling of well-being and general improvement in their health.

Insomnia is a disorder that causes disharmony cycles within the body. Any of two things often happen when people don't receive enough sleep. The body becomes busy producing the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, causing people to be edgier. People tend to drink more tea or coffee as a result of this, which in turn are known to contribute further to insomnia.

The disharmony cycle only gets broken when people start sleeping better naturally. This usually happens after a few sessions of acupuncture for insomnia treatment. During the course of using insomnia treatment, caffeine is momentarily removed, custom-designed herbal medicine is taken, stress hormones are decreased and certain aspects of daily routines and diets are modified. After several sessions, people will no longer require anything to aid them in drifting off to sleep.
