Balance Acupuncture for Insomnia
Gentle, natural sleep support in Vernon & Kelowna
Tired of Waking Up Exhausted?
If you have trouble falling asleep, wake up often in the night, or feel unrefreshed no matter how long you sleep — you’re not alone. Insomnia isn’t just a sleep problem; it’s a sign that your body’s internal rhythm is out of sync.
At Balance Acupuncture, I offer acupuncture for insomnia using the Balance Method — a classical Chinese medicine system that helps rebalance the body’s energy (Qi) so you can finally get the deep, restful sleep your body is craving.
Common Signs of Sleep Imbalance
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking frequently during the night
- Light sleep — easily disturbed by sound or light
- Vivid dreams or nightmares
- Early morning waking (and can’t fall back asleep)
- Feeling tired, foggy, or drained even after 8+ hours in bed
Acupuncture helps by calming the nervous system, nourishing the Heart and Kidneys, and restoring the natural cycle of rest and renewal. be the solution you’ve been searching for.
How Chinese Medicine Understands Insomnia
In Chinese medicine, sleep is a function of balance between Yin and Yang, and emotional harmony between the Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lungs, and Kidneys. Each type of insomnia reflects a different internal disharmony:
1. Light Sleep, Easily Disturbed
👉 Linked to Liver and Spleen imbalance
Often seen with emotional ups and downs, sensitivity, and worry.
2. Waking Often for No Reason
👉 Rooted in Kidney deficiency
Often paired with low back soreness or low energy during the day.
3. Long Sleep but Still Tired
👉 Weak Kidney and Bladder energy
You may wake up groggy, lack motivation, or have emotional fatigue.
4. Restless, Hot at Night
👉 Excessive Heart Fire
Leads to tossing, vivid dreams, thirst, or irritability.
5. Busy Mind Before Bed
👉 Liver and Gallbladder Qi(Energy) stagnation
