Sleep
Sleep disorders affect more than 70 million Americans. If not treated, insomnia can lead to problems with weight gain, hormone imbalance, food cravings, insulin fluctuations, and cognitive issues such as memory and concentration problems.
Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders Americans face. It occurs when your breathing patterns become irregular at night. Snoring is another unwanted problem that prevents many people from getting a good nightâs rest. Whether youâre looking to reduce the symptoms of a serious sleep disorder or you just want good sleep at night, using natural remedies like Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help. TCM improves sleep by balancing the bodyâs circadian rhythm so you can fall asleep and stay asleep every night.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, sleep is necessary for recharging the body physically, maintaining proper mental function, and enhancing the bodyâs defence and immune systems. It also promotes growth and development and slow down the aging process.
