So, what are the ways to regulate sleep? Today, I will introduce a good way for Chinese medicine to regulate high-quality sleep.
First, the methods of Chinese medicine to regulate sleep quality
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, a good sleep can effectively regulate the balance of yin and yang, thus helping the body to store yang more effectively.
If you are in a shallow sleep state for a long time, it will cause loss of human essence, and long-term development will affect people's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments in the details of daily life.
1, acupoint massage
A large part of people's life is spent in sleep, so the importance of sleep to people is self-evident.
From a medical point of view, insomnia, dreaminess and other symptoms are closely related to the disorder of human nervous system. Chinese medicine believes that acupoint massage can promote the circulation and smoothness of qi and blood in the whole body, thus improving the quality of sleep.
Acupoint massage is an important health care project in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. It can also play a role in regulating sleep by massaging some acupoints on the body.
There are many important health-preserving acupoints and meridians hidden in the human body, which are closely related to the internal organs of the human body.
When massaging the body, it can stimulate the acupoints and meridians, and also make the muscles of the whole body in a relatively relaxed state, so naturally it can better enter the state of sleep.
Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that the main pathological factor of insomnia lies in the heart. If the human body is in a state of anxiety, overwork and depression for a long time, it will cause bad damage to the liver, and getting angry will inevitably have a negative impact on sleep.
Therefore, regular and correct massage of Baihui, Neiguan and Shenmen points can effectively soothe the liver, reduce fire and dredge meridians, and you can have a good sleep for a long time.
2. Soak your feet before going to bed
Foot is an important part of human health, and it is called "the second heart". There are many important acupoints and meridians hidden in the foot. Soaking feet can effectively stimulate these acupoints and meridians, thus playing the role of foot massage.
Therefore, for some people with poor sleep quality, try this method of soaking feet in warm water before going to bed. If you persist for a period of time, you will definitely get a good and high-quality sleep.
However, soaking feet is not the same as washing feet every day. It's not as simple as soaking in warm water. The water temperature and time for soaking feet are needed.
Generally, the water temperature is kept at about 50 degrees, which can effectively promote the blood circulation of feet and stimulate acupoints and meridians. However, the temperature of soaking feet should not be too high, so as not to cause bad burns to the skin of feet.
In addition, to master the time of soaking feet, it is generally kept at about 20 minutes. In addition, if the water temperature drops during the process, it is necessary to replenish some hot water to maintain the water temperature.
In addition, for some people with serious insomnia, you can also add some seasoning when soaking your feet. Among them, salt and pepper are good choices, but not too much, so as not to be counterproductive.
3, diet conditioning method
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: "If the stomach is not harmonious, it will feel uneasy, which shows that if the stomach is not well taken care of, it will affect the stomach qi and then induce insomnia.
Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that regulating insomnia symptoms can start with diet and can effectively prevent insomnia. Among them, when you feel stressed or have a bad appetite, you can eat some green vegetables and sour fruits.
Kiwi and prune are both good choices. In addition, drinking rose tea and lavender tea is also an excellent choice to soothe the nerves and help sleep. While satisfying the water needed by the human body, it can also easily help digestion and help sleep.
In addition, for some people who often stay up late and have no good habits of work and rest, it will also cause the loss of yin in the human body to be bad.
Therefore, long-term development will make the yin in the human body in a state of loss, so long-term development will lead to palpitations, insomnia and other symptoms.
Among them, Chinese medicine believes that lotus seeds and red dates have the effects of helping sleep and nourishing the heart. So these symptoms can be adjusted by eating lotus seeds and red dates.
Second, methods to prevent insomnia
1, cultivate a good mood before going to bed
Many people are more excited and agitated before going to bed, and always think a lot of things, which can easily have a bad influence on the quality of sleep.
Because people's emotions will disturb the nerve center, promote excitement, and make the brain in an excited state, it is difficult to fall asleep and affect sleep.
Step 2 create a sleeping environment
A good sleep environment is an important factor to improve the quality of sleep, so in order to enter a good sleep state more effectively, indoor light is very important when sleeping, among which warm and dim light should be the main one. In addition, it is also important to keep indoor air circulation, which can create a comfortable sleeping environment and help people fall asleep as soon as possible.
