TCM for Sleep Problems in Basel:
Acupressure, Tuina & Qi Gong
Gentle support for sleep disorders – Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques help promote calm and balance.
How TCM can help with sleep disorders
Sleep problems are often caused by stress, inner turmoil, racing thoughts, or physical tension. If the body cannot relax in the evening, it cannot regenerate sufficiently during the night.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) does not view sleep problems as isolated sleep disorders, but rather in the context of the body, emotions, lifestyle, and external stressors. At the same time, it takes into account how well the body can switch between activity during the day and regeneration at night.
This also takes into account which meridians—functional pathways that connect different areas of the body— are involved and how inner restlessness or tension affects the body.
With my mindful 4-step method from TCM, including qi gong, acupressure, and tuina massage, I will guide you in calming your nervous system, releasing tension, and helping your body return to its natural rhythm.
This allows the body to relax more easily and enables restful sleep.
Typical symptoms of sleep disorders
Difficulty falling asleep – you can't relax in the evening
Waking up at night – often at the same time
Brooding & racing thoughts – your mind won't stop
Inner restlessness – your body feels tense
Morning fatigue – you're tired even though you were in bed
Nervousness & emotional irritability – little things throw you off balance
