How can acupuncture work for insomnia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite well: Very small semi-permanent needles (asp's) can be placed in 2 points in ears for insomnia. Alternately - chinese scalp acupuncture can be used (insomnia triange). However, please be aware that it can not fix problems like sleep apnea. It works well.
