What are the acupuncture points that aid sleep?

Acupoints for Improving Sleep mainly include Neiguan (PC6), Shenmen (HT7), Laogong (PC8), and Yongquan (KI1), among others. Appropriate massage of these acupoints can enhance sleep quality.

1. Neiguan (PC6) is located on the palmar side of the forearm and has a calming effect. If you experience symptoms of insomnia and excessive dreaming, you can perform appropriate massage or apply warm compresses.

2. Shenmen (HT7) is located on the wrist and can calm the heart and mind, clear the spirit, and regulate qi. It can improve symptoms such as irritability, palpitations, insomnia, and excessive dreaming.

3. Laogong (PC8) is located on the palm and can clear heat and dryness, refresh the mind, and calm the heart and spirit. If you experience restless sleep, acupuncture or massage can provide relief.

4. Yongquan (KI1) is located on the sole of the foot and can soothe the liver, extinguish wind, nourish yin, and benefit the kidneys. It can also improve insomnia symptoms. If you experience significant insomnia, acupuncture or moxibustion can be used for improvement.

In addition, appropriate massage of the Anmian (Sleep) acupoint can relieve tension and anxiety and improve sleep quality. Regularly monitor your body's changes. If you experience significant discomfort, seek professional treatment promptly.
