Unscramble insomnia
First, the heart and kidney do not pay.
If a person's heart is inflamed and the kidney goes underwater, it will form the image of separation of heart and kidney, which will cause people to want to sleep at night, be particularly tired during the day and have heavy legs. Insomnia caused by disharmony between heart and kidney is difficult to treat. In the past, a few doses or Wendan decoction could cure it, but now these drugs have no obvious effect. Because people's lives are much more complicated now than in ancient times, many people's insomnia is related to staying up late for a long time.
Every night 1 1 to the morning 1 is the time when the gallbladder sleeps, and if people don't sleep at this time, their heart and kidneys will gradually fail, leading to insomnia.
Second, blood deficiency
Deficiency of qi and blood can also lead to insomnia. There is a saying in the kitchen that the middle energizer collects qi, and the middle energizer is our spleen and stomach. Where does human blood come from? In fact, blood comes from the stomach. The human body digests food through the stomach and converts the essence of food into blood. Blood is a kind of energy, representing a kind of kinetic energy, which is distributed everywhere for human needs.
We often talk about replenishing blood. If we know Chinese medicine, we will know that blood comes from the stomach, so it may not be much use to take a lot of so-called tonics. The best way is to eat well. Stomach governs blood, so stomach deficiency will lead to blood deficiency. If you want to replenish blood, you must maintain our stomach meridian. If the blood is insufficient and cannot be effectively transfused to the brain, the brain will suffer from insomnia due to ischemia.
Third, stomach disharmony leads to irritability.
If you eat too much at night, it will also cause insomnia. When people breathe, gas is used for sleeping and digesting food. If you eat too much at night, your qi will be blocked by the middle energizer, and Yang Can can't lose to your brain, which will lead to insomnia.
In ancient China, people didn't eat after noon, that is, they only ate two meals a day, one at 90: 00 in the morning, one at 4: 00 or 5: 00 in the afternoon, and no meals at night. Moreover, the law of life is also made at sunrise and rested at sunset, so people at that time rarely suffered from insomnia. We should also master the principle that seven or eight minutes is enough for dinner. And it is best to go out for a walk after dinner or do something else, which is very beneficial to improve the quality of sleep at night.
Help you sleep all night.
First, soak your feet before going to bed.
Anxinshen Chinese medicine believes that the foot is the starting and ending point of important meridians such as the Yin San Meridian of Foot and the Sanyang Meridian of Foot, and there are nearly 70 acupoints and reaction areas in the sole of foot closely related to various organs. Soaking feet with hot water, these reaction areas can play a role in regulating the function of viscera.
As far as insomnia is concerned, hot water can expand the blood circulation of the foot, promote the blood flow of the foot, reduce the muscle tension of the foot, and promote the blood flow from the head to the lower limbs, relatively reduce brain congestion, and make people feel relaxed and sleepy. At the same time of soaking feet, if Yongquan point (about 1/3 from the center of sole to the front toe) is supplemented, the curative effect on insomnia can be further enhanced. Because Yongquan point also has the functions of inducing deficiency fire to drop, calming, calming the nerves and lowering blood pressure.
When soaking feet, pay attention to:
1, foot bath time should not be too long, half an hour at most, especially for the elderly. It is not advisable to soak feet for half an hour before and after meals, otherwise it will affect the blood supply to the stomach and hinder the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is best to drink a glass of water before soaking, which is beneficial to metabolism and body fluid supplement.
2, the water temperature should not be too high, generally 30-40 degrees Celsius is appropriate.
3. It is best to use a flat-bottomed wooden barrel with a certain height, and the water depth reaches the calf.
4. You can * * Yongquan Point while soaking your feet, or you can * * * Yongquan Point alone after soaking your feet.
5. If some vinegar is added to the hot water (100- 150ml), the effect will be better.

Modern people have a fast pace of life, great mental stress, irregular schedules and poor sleep treatment. It is difficult for the light person to fall asleep, and it is difficult for the heavy person to sleep all night. This is people's daily life. Today, I will teach you an acupoint to help you fall asleep again.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the brain is the house of Yuan God, so we should also pay attention to the supply of qi and blood to the head. We can comb our scalp with one hand several times during our leisure time, such as resting or watching TV. The direction starts from the forehead hairline and ends from the scalp to the neck along the hairline. In this way, the five fingers can separate the Du Meridian, Bladder Meridian and Gallbladder Meridian of the head, thus achieving the functions of calming the nerves, calming the liver and suppressing yang. According to the attribution of meridians, you can press and rub the following points with your thumb: Neiguan, Shenmen and Sanyinjiao. Neiguan point is located on the palm surface, 2 inches above the wrist transverse stripes (the same size, that is, the width of each thumb is 1 inch, the same below), between the palmar longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon. Shenmen point is located in the transverse striation of the metacarpal wrist and the radial depression of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. Sanyinjiao is on the inner side of the calf, and the tibia can be felt 3 inches above the ankle tip, just behind the tibia. These three acupoints cooperate with each other and massage 5-5 times a day, which can soothe the nerves.
Third, homemade "calming the nerves and nourishing the brain porridge"

Add 200 grams of millet and 50 grams of lily to the cooked Ziziphus jujuba seeds, and then add a proper amount of water to make porridge.

Nutritional analysis: Xiaomi, also known as Xiaomi, is sweet, salty and cold. Li Shizhen said in ""that Xiaomi "cooks porridge to benefit the abdomen, tonify deficiency and stimulate appetite". Its function lies in "strengthening the spleen and stomach, and sleeping peacefully". Modern medicine believes that the degree of drowsiness after meals is often related to the content of tryptophan in food protein. Tryptophan can induce brain cells to secrete serotonin -5- hydroxytryptamine, which can temporarily inhibit brain thinking activities and make people feel sleepy. The more brain nerve cells secrete this substance, the more sleepy people are. The content of tryptophan in millet is the highest among all grains, and the content of tryptophan per 100 grams of food is as high as 202 mg, which is incomparable to other grains. In addition, millet is rich in digestible starch, which can make people feel full after eating, promote insulin secretion and further increase the content of tryptophan in the brain. Therefore, it is the best food for sleeping. Lily has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the nerves. Ziziphus jujuba seeds are sweet and flat, and have the effects of nourishing the liver and calming the heart, calming the nerves and astringing sweat. It has a good effect on irritability, palpitation and insomnia.
