Here is an interesting fact:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Studies have shown that chronic pain is linked to poor sleep habits.

Because insomnia is caused by an underlying disharmony within the body, your job as the practitioner is to find out the root of the problem, so that you can <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>FIX IT<\/strong><\/span><\/span> (not just cover it up with <span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><strong><em>SLEEPING PILLS!<\/em><\/strong><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are four AcuHerb formulas that I prescribe regularly for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>INSOMNIA<\/strong><\/span>, depending on the underlying diagnosis of the sleep disturbance. Each formula is different, so it is important to have all four on your shelf. When your patient mentions that they are having trouble with <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>INSOMNIA<\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0you will be ready, regardless of the patient&#8217;s presentation pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Below is a graph that differentiates each pattern:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Insomnia-graph2.jpg\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14384\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Insomnia-graph2-1024x947.jpg\" alt=\"Insomnia-graph2\" width=\"652\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Insomnia-graph2-1024x947.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Insomnia-graph2-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Insomnia-graph2.jpg 1145w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I use the AcuGraph with each patient visit. My first objective is to balance the flow of energy in the meridians. Doing this first makes all the other treatments more effective. Next, I conduct a TCM pattern diagnosis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I apply both treatments at the same time I get better results and the Insomnia disappears in about 4-6 weeks. Now, if I add an herbal treatment the results are even more dramatic.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"color: #585858;\" \/><br style=\"color: #585858;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A bottle of AcuHerb will last\u00a0for 10 days. Each patient will need 3 bottles per month. Make sure you have plenty on hand, since you never know when the patient will admit that they haven&#8217;t been sleeping well. It&#8217;s not generally the first thing that brings them into your office&#8230;but you&#8217;ll be ready for it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>In my experience, the insomnia goes away within 3 to 4 weeks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Five years ago I wasn&#8217;t sure about using the AcuGraph with each patient.
