This process is one of the major components of Chinese medicine and is mostly followed to reduce pain. More and more, people are turning to it for better well-being, like managing stress.

Meridians are the name for the invisible channels that carry this life force. Imagine that your body's meridians are highways that connect the various parts. Acupuncture can help your body achieve harmony when it is experiencing disharmony due to a traffic jam or roadblock.

How does it work?

The professionals strategically place the needles along the meridians to clear the traffic jams and restore the smooth operation of Qi. it tunes up the body and ensures all body systems are a go. Few strategic acupuncture points in the body are proven to be the star performers. These certain points can affect your state of mind and promote calmness and relaxation, which are the major factors for sound sleep.

Stress is a major cause of sleep issues. Acupuncture can help by targeting `, releasing feel-good chemicals like endorphins and serotonin, and promoting a rest-and-digest mode in the body.

Melatonin, a hormone responsible for sleep-wake cycles, is regulated by the body's production. Acupuncture can boost melatonin levels, ensuring a smooth transition into sleep, like a gentle lullaby.

Investigating the ancient practice of Acupuncture may hold the key to recovering those lost hours of sleep in a world where productivity frequently comes at the expense of rest.
