You should have heard of acupuncture for insomnia at least once in your lifetime.
We know exactly what questions you suddenly had.
Is acupuncture safe?
Acupuncture is generally very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner using sterile needles. Minor side effects like slight pain or bruising may occur but serious complications are rare.
How many treatments are needed?
Research recommends a minimum of 12 acupuncture treatments for optimal results, with notable symptom improvement after about three to six sessions.
Is acupuncture painful?
Most people believe acupuncture is painful because it involves needles, but the needles are extremely thin—about the width of a human hair—and often cause little to no discomfort. Many describe the sensation as a mild tingling or pressure.
Are the needles safe or sanitary?
Some worry about infection or contamination, but acupuncturists use sterile, single-use needles and strictly adhere to Clean Needle Technique standards for safety.
Is it scientifically proven or just a placebo?
Modern research supports acupuncture as effective for many medical issues. It has clinical evidence for pain management, stress relief, insomnia, and other conditions, and measurable physiological effects such as reducing inflammatory markers.
Are treatments addictive or never-ending?
Acupuncture is not addictive. Most patients need only a set number of sessions, and relief can sometimes be achieved after a few treatments. Some use acupuncture preventively, while others use it for acute problems.
How Acupuncture Works for Insomnia ?
Apart from the regular explanation of acupuncture meridians in the body and receiving electromagnetic energy.
today, we will explain this concept in a different manner.
Imagine your brain as the most dramatic, over-caffeinated party planner in town.
Every night, it organizes a wild bash featuring the rowdiest guests:
dopamine, norepinephrine, and glutamate. These three are always up for loud music and anxiety, making sure sleep is CANCELLED
The tiny needle plunges bravely into your skin like a VIP guest crashing the party, and the special receptors immediately jump up like, “Wait, what just poked me?!”
These receptors, the drama queens of your body, send urgent messages screaming down the nerves to the brain—because apparently your brain loves a good emergency alert.
Your spinal cord acts like an overenthusiastic bouncer, and allowing signals to the brain.
The brain, thrilled to be bothered, then throws a chemical rave, releasing feel-good potions and calming spells to convince your body that everything’s totally under control now.
The brain totally releases its squad of superheroes the moment an acupuncture needle shows up—because insomnia fears only the “Acungers”
Serotonin steps up first, taking charge with chill vibes and influencer charisma, instantly calming the mood and dropping anxiety levels.
GABA flexes as the no-nonsense bouncer, shutting out stress and enforcing the ‘Relax Only’ rule—nobody’s allowed to party past bedtime while he’s on duty.
Melatonin strolls in wearing pajamas, carrying a lantern, dedicated to setting the perfect sleep scene and encouraging the entire brain to wind down with zzz’’.
The villains—dopamine, norepinephrine, and glutamate—who once thrived on insomnia and sparked mental unrest, found themselves overwhelmed and powerless.
Their grip on the brain weakened, they were swiftly evicted from the sleep kingdom. Stress hormones like cortisol bowed out in defeat, unable to sustain the sleepless siege any longer.
It's time to sleep—bye-bye, insomnia!

Acupuncture is not a one-time treatment; it is a process that requires multiple sessions for effective results.
Most people benefit from receiving acupuncture 1 to 2 times per week during the initial treatment phase.
The frequency and number of sessions depend on the condition being treated and the individual’s response.
For chronic conditions, treatment might continue for several weeks or months with gradual tapering.
Acupuncture tends to perform better when combined with other natural medicines or therapies, enhancing overall healing.
Maintenance sessions may be needed periodically to sustain the benefits after initial improvement.
