Scientific Proof to How your Body react to Acupuncture - Sleep
Regular sessions of Acupuncture can help with stimulating the production of neurotransmitters that are associated with relaxation and sleep. If you suffer from insomnia of any kind, this treatment will help you for sure.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble falling and/or staying asleep. The condition can be short-term (acute) or can last a long time (chronic). Acute insomnia lasts from 1 night to a few weeks. Insomnia is chronic when it happens at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more.
Some scientific research showed that acupuncture can increase the content of γ-amino butyric acid, which then enhance sleep quality.
From my experience in clinical practice, simply put, acupuncture helps to calm the nerves and switch on the parasympathetic system in the body, which induces relaxation and rest of the body.
