Insomnia is known as insomnia in Chinese medicine, which is clinically manifested as insufficient sleep time and sleep depth, and it is more difficult to fall asleep or easy to wake up after sleep in the light cases, and after waking up, you can’t fall asleep again; in the heavy cases, you can’t sleep the whole night. Acupuncture is often used in the treatment of insomnia, and the clinical efficacy is better. Acupuncture is often used to treat insomnia by using Baihui point, Shenmen point, Anmian point, Sanyinjiao point, Zhaohai point and Shenwei point as the main points. Among them, Baihui point can calm the mind and brain, Shenmen point can calm the mind and heart, Anmian point is an effective point for the treatment of insomnia, Sanyinjiao point can harmonize the three organs of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and Zhaohai point is often used in conjunction with Shenwu to regulate the yin and yang stilt veins in order to help sleep and calm the mind. As acupuncture is an invasive operation, and the specific positioning of acupuncture points requires a high level of knowledge, the specific direction and depth of each acupuncture point requires a solid theoretical and practical foundation, it is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals to be diagnosed by Chinese medicine practitioners and treated by doctors, and not to carry out acupuncture treatment on their own or in an irregular place.
