Insomnia due to yin deficiency is also called heart-kidney disharmony and incompatibility in Chinese medicine. There are many insomnia, but this is the most serious. Chinese medicine often uses Huanglian Ejiao decoction to treat it.
"Ejiao is a classic and comes from East Asia, hence its name", which is the famous saying of Li Shizhen, a medical sage. Ejiao has a history of more than 2,000 years, and now there are more than 3,200 famous Ejiao prescriptions. For example, Huanglian Ejiao Decoction is a famous prescription for treating insomnia by Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in Han Dynasty. This prescription is not only famous in China, but also in Japan and South Korea, and it has been recognized by Japanese health regulations, so it is not necessary to do clinical experiments to use this prescription as a drug.
