Improving Sleep
There are several great points for sleep, this one, An Mian is one of my favourites. Firstly because it’s super effective, but it’s also possibly one of the easiest to find. It’s in the spot right behind your ear, usually between your earlobe and the hairline.
Find the bony prominence behind the ear.
Use your thumb to find the slight indentation.
Use a firm pressure to make little circles.
Make several circles when a firm pressure before bedtime and you’ll soon notice your heart rate settle as you get ready to drift off.
We can use Traditional Chinese Medicine to effectively support anxiety and insomnia. At Just Love Acupuncture we take a full diagnosis to fully understand the various patterns of disharmony within the body that may be the cause. Our treatment plan is then specifically to restore balance into the body by treating these identified patterns. Treatment will often involve exercises at home, such as including An Mian before bedtime. You can also expect some relaxing yoga postures to be included into your treatment plan.
