Restoring balance
Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This ancient medicine is based on the insight that physical and mental complaints arise from disturbances in the energy system of the body. With acupuncture, these disturbances can be corrected and the energy flow in your body is brought back into balance. Acupuncture encourages the body and mind to heal itself.

As easy as it sounds, but sleeping can be a huge challenge. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there can be several manifestations and causes of a sleep problem. Not being able to fall asleep, or falling asleep but waking up at a specific time. Severe dreams, nightmares, all influences that have an unpleasant effect on your sleeping pattern. And health starts with a good night's sleep.
Women need more sleep than men because women rely more on hormonal balance, which recovers during sleep. For men, 6 hours of sleep is often enough, but women actually need around 8 hours of sleep.
Short periods of sleep problems are just as important to address as prolonged ones. This is because the lack can quickly manifest itself in irritability and reduced resistance. So don't walk around with a disturbed sleep rhythm for too long. Be careful with medications as they can be addictive and cause side effects such as dullness.
What can acupuncture do?
The balance between our Yin and Yang energy is disturbed. We use the Yang energy to wake up, get up and go to work. During the day we get tired and prepare for the Yin energy: stilling and eventually sleep. You can think of Yin as the blanket pulled over Yang that says: and now go out.
If our Yang stays on, for whatever reason, Yin is pushed away and we cannot catch sleep.
It already helps tremendously not to consume exciting movies or books in the evening, about 1.5 hours before sleep. Keep your nervous system relaxed so that Yang does not stay on. An evening walk or meditation before sleeping can also provide very positive results.
With an acupuncture treatment, I make sure that your Yang energy is put into place better so that the Yin is more likely to succeed when you go to bed. Dietary tips can also help and eventually we can also look at herbs and supplements.
How many treatments are needed depends on the nature and severity of your symptoms.
