Insomnia can affect everything you do; without a good night’s sleep you just aren’t yourself. You’re less productive and more irritable. For most Americans the immediate response is to go to a drug store and buy sleep aid pills night after night. Recent research however has found that acupuncture and moxibustion (an ancient Chinese herbal remedy commonly used to in conjunction with acupuncture) have a significant effect on patient’s insomnia. According to the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) patients treated with acupuncture and moxibustion showed better quality of sleep, faster time to fall asleep and better daytime functioning. So if you’re having trouble getting to bed make an appointment with us before buying more bottles of sleeping pills. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24187860
