Insomnia treating with entry / exit points

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

I don’t think there is really a way to answer this. Fixed protocols are in many ways the antithesis of Chinese Medicine. So the points would be based entirely on the individual patients presentation and not was has worked for someone else or a more generic protocol. Some points will appear in many protocols due to their broad systemic affects, but the treatment still needs to be tailored to the individual. For further reference, I would suggest looking at:

• our general insomnia section
• our acupuncture for insomnia page
• our tam healing points for insomnia - these would likely be incorporated into a more tailored treatment directed towards more kidney yin deficiency, or spleen blood deficiency, or whatever the underlying pattern for that patient is.
• our general point selection rules page
  and peruse through insomnia treatment section on our blog
