"You won't wake up at three or four in the morning again? Have you taken the medicine I prescribed for you? "

Hanako has two bright black eyes and nods in dismay. "After eating, I still can't sleep."

The doctor frowned. "No, most patients can basically get effective control after eating melatonin. In your case, if not, why not go to the Chinese medicine doctor next door? "

Hanako scratched his head. Can Chinese medicine treat insomnia? Influenced by the family environment, Hanako always thinks that Chinese medicine is a bit metaphysical. Therefore, whether it is a serious illness or a minor illness, it is good to take some western medicine by injection.

But this time, Chinese medicine really didn't let him down. Under the recommendation of a friend, he found a well-known local Chinese medicine clinic. After a series of dialectical treatment by doctors, his insomnia was cured.

"If anyone says that Chinese medicine is useless in the future, I will be the first to disagree!" Hanako sent such a message in a circle of friends.

Insomnia is called "sleepless", "unable to lie down" or "unsatisfied eyes" in Chinese medicine, which has been recorded in many ancient medical books. The earliest record about the causes of insomnia is the theory of "the foot of the spirit pivot" in Huangdi Neijing, which holds that insomnia is caused by "insufficient yin-qi", that is, the theory of "the foot of the spirit pivot".

Irregular work and rest and excessive thinking in modern society are the main reasons for "hyperactivity of yang and yin deficiency". Coupled with bad eating habits and excessive pressure, yang in the body can not return to yin blood, resulting in "yang does not enter yin" and "yang hyperactivity and yin deficiency", which leads to insomnia. In addition, Chinese medicine also divides insomnia into two categories: insomnia due to pathogenic excess and insomnia due to physical deficiency.

Empirical insomnia: Emotional disorder will lead to imbalance of yin and yang of five zang-organs and the relationship between zang-organs and meridians will affect the mind, resulting in what we often call "being too angry to sleep" or "being too happy to sleep". In addition, excessive drinking, high salt, spicy taste and heavy taste will aggravate the spleen and stomach, and the risk of abnormal phlegm-heat will lead to insomnia and irritability. Therefore, being in a bad mood and eating improperly will cause excess.

Insomnia due to physical deficiency: Loss of vital energy is the main cause of insomnia due to physical deficiency, which can be divided into loss of vital energy due to chronic illness and disorder of work and rest. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is sad" and "the spleen is the main reinforcement". Therefore, overwork can cause dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and qi and blood can't nourish the heart, resulting in "insomnia". In addition, physical illness will also consume qi and blood, leading to irritability and difficulty in falling asleep.

From this point of view, the analysis of insomnia by Chinese medicine is very detailed, and the treatment of insomnia is not inferior to that of western medicine.

Compared with western medicine, Chinese medicine will find the breakthrough point from all aspects in the treatment of insomnia and treat it according to syndrome differentiation.

Five internal organs: Chinese medicine believes that although the cause of insomnia is mainly manifested in the liver, it will spread to the five internal organs, leading to imbalance between yin and yang in the body, making people in an excited state and unable to sleep. Therefore, in the treatment of insomnia, we should start with the liver and give consideration to the five internal organs, and adopt the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Spiritual feelings: Chinese medicine believes that insomnia is closely related to spiritual feelings. Therefore, insomnia can be divided into four types in Chinese medicine: anxiety, tension, paranoia and depression. At the same time, symptomatic treatment is also needed to achieve the desired effect.

Circadian rhythm: Insomnia is actually a disorder of normal sleep and awakening rhythm, while human sleep is a physiological activity with circadian rhythm. Therefore, Chinese medicine proposes to treat insomnia according to time and observe the circadian rhythm.

Heart and kidney, liver and spleen: Chinese medicine believes that if you want to treat insomnia, you need to return to the source. The causes of insomnia are mostly related to the imbalance of liver and spleen and the intersection of heart and kidney, because "fire does not return to its roots." Therefore, in the treatment of insomnia, Chinese medicine suggests paying attention to the conditioning of heart, kidney, liver and spleen.

So, what methods does Chinese medicine have to treat insomnia?

In the treatment of insomnia, Chinese medicine believes that reasonable eating habits can regulate sleep, such as millet, red dates, walnuts and so on. Diet regulation also has the functions of nourishing the stomach, strengthening the spleen, enriching the blood and calming the nerves. At the same time, if you want to have a good sleep, you can do the same.

Acupuncture: It has been recorded in ancient medical books that acupuncture has the functions of regulating yin and yang, relaxing meridians and activating collaterals, and strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens. There are many acupoints that help sleep, such as Shenmen, Lily and Neiguan.

Massage: Massage can relieve fatigue and promote sleep. There are many massage positions, such as back, abdomen, face, forehead and so on. Different massage positions also have different benefits. For example, chiropractic can treat children's fever, and you can see things more clearly by rubbing around your eyes.

Foot bath: Chinese medicine such as Poria, Polygalae, Ziziphus jujuba seed, etc. It has the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, and is combined with traditional Chinese medicines such as Carthamus tinctorius, Radix Curcumae and Fructus Lipuidambaris. They are all tortured together. Soaking feet before going to bed can promote blood circulation and achieve the effect of sleeping.

Insomnia is a "painful" worry. If you want to have a good sleep, you can try these three methods recommended by Chinese medicine, so that you can have a good dream without insomnia.
