Acupuncture for Anxiety and Insomnia
A Brighton-based acupuncture clinic that focuses on anxiety and insomnia
People have been turning to acupuncture to reduce anxiety and improve sleep for thousands of years. Today, there is a growing body of empirical evidence to support these choices. Acupuncture is also very effective in treating related issues, such as migraine headaches, chronic pain, and digestive problems. Patients report feeling much calmer immediately after each session. Most see consistent improvement in their symptoms within two months.
What Clients Say
"I came to Inbal with a trauma causing me severe physical difficulties (such as palpitations, head pressure, headaches. etc.). I could feel a small relieve after each session I had, progress I thought I would never experience before that. She's very friendly and gentle, which is a huge plus for people who fear needles, so believe when I say you don't have to be afraid at all :) I highly recommend her to anyone".
Ajo K.
"I went to Inbal while suffering from insomnia and panic attacks and in just a couple of sessions felt an immeasurable improvement (both physically and emotionally). She really took the time to listen to me and support me, providing me with acupuncture sessions and Chinese herbs. Shiatsu was an extremely welcome bonus. Very easy to get a hold of, very responsive and flexible. Highly recommended."

Our Services
Each session includes both acupuncture and Shiatsu, and in some cases, Chinese herbs are prescribed in addition. However, it is possible to request only one particular service. Here's a bit more about each of these practices:
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is one of the essential elements of Chinese medicine and the oldest, most commonly used medical procedure in the world.
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points on the body, by insertion of very fine, sterile, stainless steel needles to elicit a predictable physiological response.
SHIATSU
Shiatsu is a highly relaxing form of Japanese physiotherapy. It can serve as a stand-alone treatment, or enhance the effects of acupuncture.
During a Shiatsu massage, pressure is applied with either the thumb or the palm of the hand, across the whole body, while the patient is fully clothed. The pressure is not too light and not too deep, it is just right!
HERBAL MEDICINE
Chinese herbal medicine is a safe way of getting better and faster results. It is usually applied alongside acupuncture.
The practitioner uses several diagnostic tools to achieve an accurate diagnosis and prescribe individually tailored herbal formulas. The herbs come in the form of powder, and they need to be mixed in water and consumed daily until symptoms have improved.
