Many people are facing the trouble of insomnia, and seeing and eating western medicine can not be well relieved. Here we suggest that you might as well try to look at this problem with the theory and treatment system of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine believes that there are three types of insomnia:

N0 1: stagnation of liver-qi, irritability and qi stagnation lead to fire.

I feel irritable, and many thoughts easily disturb my mind and make it difficult to sleep. Such patients only need to take heat-clearing decoction to relieve depression, and they will have good curative effect.

For example: Gardenia Light Douchi Soup with Sini Powder.

NO2: Cold and wet, tired and sleepy, and poor sleep.

Many people have bad colds in their bodies, but Yang Can will not promote a lot of cold and dampness. So people always feel very tired, and the quality of sleep at night is also poor. Especially in the hot summer in the south, a lot of cold drinks and food are more likely to aggravate the moisture in the body and affect sleep.

Patients with this kind of problem need to warm and nourish yang, eliminate dampness and detoxify. Sufficient yang can promote qi and blood circulation in the body and eliminate fatigue and drowsiness.

Suggestion: Under the guidance of Chinese medicine, we can take corresponding drugs to supplement diet therapy, so as to nourish Yang Qi and eliminate dampness.

NO3: Disharmony between spleen and stomach, exuberant liver fire, imbalance between yin and yang, making it difficult to sleep.

Huangdi Neijing said: "Disharmony in the stomach leads to anxiety." Because Yang Can can't enter the Taiyin Spleen Meridian through Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Yang Can can't enter the Yin Meridian, I am restless!

Suggestion: Banxia decoction is one of the only ten prescriptions in Huangdi Neijing, which is specially designed for insomnia. The key medicine here is Pinellia ternata. Pinellia ternata belongs to the stomach meridian, which is endowed with the nature of anode generating yin, and is the best medicinal material to attract yang into yin.

(2) if the patient's liver is very fierce, Yang Can should not enter the liver. Only when the liver fire is completely cleared can people enter a deep sleep state.

Suggestion: Prunella vulgaris can clear liver and remove blood stasis. Clearing liver fire can lead yang into yin, so Pinellia ternata plus Prunella vulgaris has a particularly good effect on patients with excessive liver fire and yang failing to enter yin.

Insomnia is not a trivial matter, nor is long-term insomnia. Therefore, in our life, we must pay special attention to these problems.
