CNN.com recently did an article on using acupressure to help with sleep insomnia. Seattle Acupuncturist, Kelly Neu, is familiar with the issue and mentioned that Acupressure can bring people relief. 15% of Americans suffer from sleep insomnia which can range from the inability to get to sleep, stay asleep, or the inability to feel refreshed when you wake up. Sleep medications are infamously known for having bad side effects or not being effective in the long term. So what are all of those Americans supposed to do when they cannot sleep?
Research is starting to show that Acupressure can be a potoential solution. Acupressure uses the same pressure points as acupuncture but instead of needles, it employs gentle pressure from the fingers, or sometimes the feet. You can even learn to do some of the pressure points on yourself. If you are sleep deprived, contact Seattle acupuncturist, Kelly Nue, for an acupressure session.
