How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

A standard TCM treatment programme for chronic insomnia and anxiety lasts 4 to 8 weeks, with patients attending 2–3 acupuncture sessions per week and taking daily herbal formulas. Many patients notice improved sleep and reduced anxiety within the first 2–3 weeks, with full benefits often achieved by week 6. Recovery is gradual, and practitioners may recommend a maintenance plan of monthly visits or herbal tonics for 3–6 months to prevent relapse.
