Five Element Acupuncture for Insomnia
Is insomnia making your life a misery?
Do you toss and turn all night, only to wake up feeling exhausted and groggy? Do you have trouble falling asleep, or do you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep? If so, you're not alone. Insomnia is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide.
In fact insomnia is actually the reason I became a Five Element Acupuncturist.
There are many different causes of insomnia, including stress, anxiety, depression, and medical conditions. While there are medications that can help with insomnia, they often have side effects and may not be the best solution for everyone.
Acupuncture is a natural and effective treatment for insomnia. It has been shown to improve sleep quality, reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, and increase the total amount of sleep.
In 2021 a systematic review of clinical trials (Kim et al. 2021) found that acupuncture was more effective than medication for treating insomnia, after 3 just weeks of acupuncture treatment.
Hi My name’s Michael Arnold
I’ve been a qualified Five Element Acupuncturist since 2003. I first discovered the power of this system of medicine while I was studying Neuroscience at university. I had it all planned out - I was going to be a scientist. But life had other plans for me. When my best friend James died I was plunged into shock. I didn’t know how to make sense of this tragic event. After many months of anxiety, depression and insomnia I finally had the fortune to be recommended to a Five Element Acupuncturist. The effects were profound. Gradually I was able to process the loss and come back to myself. But there was something new: a deep sense of peace arose while being able to feel the sadness at the same time. I was able to stay grounded and yet allow the emotions to come and go.

"FOR ACUPUNCTURE IN LONDON, LOOK NO FURTHER!"
"For acupuncture in London, look no further! Michael made me feel great after every session. I originally started seeing Michael for problems with my stomach but quickly realised that regular acupuncture made a massive improvement to my all round well being. As a result of regular sessions with Michael I had more energy, felt happier and less stressed. Michael has a friendly, professional and warm style and I highly recommend him."

"I FELT A PURE, BLISSFUL, PEACEFUL SENSATION."
"I had the lucky break to experience Michael's method of acupuncture while he was practicing as a visiting therapist in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica early in 2011. I had multiple sessions for Five Element Acupuncture. Michael spent a long time with me, allowing me to speak openly and in confidence about ongoing issues, health habits, and concerns. He is professional, caring, puts one at ease, and he offers clear, simple advice to concerns from nutrition to mental health.
I instantly felt relaxed, drifted off, while listening to him. Post-treatment, I felt a pure, blissful, peaceful sensation. I felt lighter, more mindful, at peace, able to focus better, and balanced. I do feel more energy, calmer approach to daily stress, and in general, a more positive state of being.
I would absolutely return for more sessions but his tenure in Costa Rica was over. I highly recommend Michael and this brilliant method of acupuncture to anyone seeking balance, inner calm, and a vibrant, positive approach to their daily experience."

"FELT LIKE I WAS FLOATING FOR ABOUT A WEEK AFTERWARDS"
"I went for stress and some unbalances I had in my body. Felt like I was floating for about a week afterwards and definitely de-stressed. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Michael."
