For the treatment of insomnia, acupuncture points such as Baihui, Si Shencong, Touwei, Qucha, Taiyang, Anmian, Cataract, Fubai, and Tianchong can be chosen. If the patient is suffering from insomnia due to deficiency of the heart and spleen, the patient can be given Tongli Point, Shenmen Point and Shaohai Point. If the patient’s insomnia is caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, the patient can be given acupoints such as Liejiao, Kongmu, Quzhe, Tianfu, and Laogong. For the treatment of insomnia, acupuncture requires a TCM physician to identify the patient’s tongue, pulse, and accompanying symptoms, and then select acupoints for treatment, with the commonly used acupoints focusing on head acupoints.
