Zeng Guofan has a famous saying that "the way of keeping in good health is greater than sleeping and eating", and Huangdi Neijing says: "People lie in blood and return to the liver", so they should lie at night and get up early in spring. Modern research also shows that sleep can effectively regulate the human brain and the entire nervous system.
Flower-shaped Chinese medicine mostly enters the liver meridian, which has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, and is conducive to improving anxiety and depression. Studies have shown that the fragrance of flowers has a certain influence on people's psychology, spirit and memory.
Treating insomnia patients with lavender flowers and smelling incense can improve their sleep, mood and physiological symptoms.
50 grams of dried lavender flowers are evenly stuffed into the pillow core, and lavender essential oil is regularly used to incense every week to help sleep.
Pay attention to lavender flowers to check and replace them in time to avoid moth-eaten.
In modern society, people are busy with work and have a tight pace of life, and sometimes there are symptoms such as fatigue, trance, insomnia and forgetfulness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the heart hides the spirit", and Shenmen point on the wrist is the key point to treat "the heart", which plays a great role in treating mental illness.
Chinese medicine believes that people's sleep is controlled by the mind. In the treatment of insomnia, the main purpose is to calm the heart and soothe the nerves, so the main acupoint is Shenmen, the original point of the heart meridian of hand-shaoyin. When the main symptom is restless sleep and other symptoms are not obvious, Shenmen point can generally be taken alone.
Massage method
Method one
Point, press, knead and pinch Shenmen point repeatedly with the tip of your thumb for 30 times. When you press this point, you don't need too much force. Generally, it is advisable to have a slight pain. You can press and rub Shenmen point with your thumb with one hand.
Note: After pressing 10 seconds, rest for 5 seconds, press left and right for 5 minutes, and massage 1 time in the morning and evening.
Method 2
Hold the other wrist with thumb and middle ring buckle and rotate back and forth, or hold the other wrist with thumb and forefinger ring and rotate back and forth. Because the wrist has three important primitive acupoints, the thumb is the place where the lung meridian passes, and the middle finger is the place where the pericardium meridian passes, so rotation can better promote the communication and connection between qi and blood in the meridians.
