Sleep is imperative to the health of your body. A good night's sleep sets the foundation for achieving any health goal. A bad night’s sleep may strike out of nowhere or be a chronic condition. Insomnia covers a wide array of sleep interruptions. From difficulty falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, vivid dreams, ruminating thoughts, restless sleep to no sleep at all.
Acupuncture & herbal medicine support a successful sleep ritual that helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, decrease restless sleep, increase peaceful sleep, and decrease dependency on medications.
