Pressure Points for Insomnia

Insomnia, known as Bu Mei in TCM, is primarily related to the spirit of the heart being unnourished or disturbed. Common causes include heart-spleen deficiency, yin deficiency with fire, and liver qi stagnation. Acupressure can calm the mind, nourish yin, and soothe the liver to improve sleep quality.
