Acupressure for stress & sleep problems – finding calm
When stress becomes chronic, sleep suffers – and with sleep, health. In TCM, sleep disorders and chronic stress are understood as signs of an overactive mind (Shen) and blocked energy. Acupressure can be used as a complement for stress-related complaints and can support relaxation.
How stress and sleep are connected
Chronic stress keeps the sympathetic nervous system permanently active. The body stays in alert mode – falling asleep becomes harder, staying asleep nearly impossible. In TCM, this is described as overactive Yang and weakened Yin. Acupressure is used here as a complement, to release tension and find calm.
