Acupuncture vs Sleeping pills



    Sleeping pills



  • Have a sedative effect - cause day time drowsiness that may affect driving

  • Addictive

  • Do not treat the underlying cause


  • The response is quick and benefit is only short term; stops working once you stop taking the pills


  • Good for short term relief; should not be taken for longer than two weeks

  • Acupuncture



  • Improves concentration, enhances memory, eliminates stress. Causes no undesirable sedation.

  • Non addictive

  • Treats underlying cause, benefits your health in many other ways 

  • The response is somewhat slower than the sleeping pills, but the positive effects last



  • Good for both short and long term relief




    • Will acupuncture also relieve my headache/neck pain?
