Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Insomnia is a symptom of disturbed Shen (spirit), the jingshen of the Heart. The acupuncturist has to find why the Heart is disturbed. Very commonly, there is not enough Kidney yin and so not enough Heart yin; there is a disequilibrium between fire and water, and the yang becomes excessive relative to the deficient yin. The Shen cannot retire at night. Afflux, or the damming and backing-up of the energy into the distinct channels affects the Heart because all the distinct channels pass through the Heart. There could be too much heat in the Upper Jiao. Or maybe the Yin Qiao Mai is bringing too much fire to the eyes, or the Yang Qiao Mai is not bringing enough water to the eyes, or fire and water come to the eyes at the wrong times. Or excessive Liver fire can disturb the Heart. The Shen can be disturbed because the other jingshen mentational aspects, Hun or Po, Yi or Zhi, are disturbed. Any of these conditions are remediable with correct acupuncture treatment. Correct treatment depends on knowing what is going on with that particular individual; there is no " formula " that will work for everyone. A skilled practitioner will be able to help dramatically.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Insomnia has many causes, and although it is known that acupuncture can effectively treat insomnia, each person must be evaluated individually. From the description you give of yourself, it appears you may have a good deal of tension which would need to be addressed. For instance, it's possible that you are in a very " keyed-up " state. Maybe your sympathetic nervous responses are over stimulated. Maybe hyper-adrenal. Acupuncture can be very helpful in addressing this by balancing the nervous system. Bur there may be more and that would have to be determined. Neil R.
