Find Better Sleep with Acupuncture at Holistic Therapy Ealing
Are sleepless nights becoming the norm? You're not alone. Millions struggle with insomnia, and while prescription sleep aids offer one solution, many of my clients at Holistic Therapy Ealing are discovering acupuncture as a natural, effective alternative for restoring healthy sleep patterns.
A Natural Approach to Better Sleep
At Holistic Therapy Ealing, Kate views insomnia through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, seeing sleep disturbances as imbalances in your body's energy flow. Rather than simply masking symptoms, acupuncture treatments address the root causes of sleeplessness, whether they stem from stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or other underlying health issues.
How Acupuncture for insomnia helps You Sleep
Our carefully placed acupuncture needles work to:
Calm your nervous system by activating natural relaxation responses
Regulate sleep hormones like melatonin to restore healthy circadian rhythms
Reduce stress hormones such as cortisol that keep you alert when you should be resting
Address underlying issues like digestive problems, chronic pain, or emotional stress that disrupt sleep
What Research Shows
Recent studies consistently demonstrate acupuncture's effectiveness for insomnia. A 2017 review of 30 clinical trials found acupuncture was more effective than no treatment and comparable to sleep medications for improving sleep quality. Patients typically experience improvements in how quickly they fall asleep, total sleep duration, and overall sleep satisfaction.
Your Treatment Experience at Holistic Therapy Ealing
Your journey to better sleep begins with a comprehensive consultation where we explore your unique sleep patterns, stress levels, and overall health. During treatment, you'll relax as thin, sterile needles are gently inserted at specific points chosen for your individual needs.
Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing—many even doze off during their session! We typically recommend weekly treatments for 4-6 weeks, with sessions spaced further apart as your sleep improves.
