Luo Dalun, a famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, introduces a foot bath prescription for you to see if it is suitable for you and your friends.
Insomnia caused by bad mood
A lady who flew from Urumqi once said that she had not slept for half a year. I said it's impossible, because people will collapse in a few days if they don't sleep. Many insomniacs claim that they have not slept for several days. Medical experts tested them and found that they actually slept in varying degrees, but they just didn't have any memory.
This lady, at that time, I judged that she was in a bad mood, and I judged that it was caused by emotion. Chinese medicine is called liver-qi discomfort, so I suggested that she use Zhang Zhongjing's classic prescription: Chaihu plus Gulong Oyster Decoction to add flavor, and use this prescription to soak feet every day to soothe the liver and regulate qi.
A few days later, my friend called me and said that the lady was very happy. After five days, she can sleep for five hours every day. Later, about ten days later, I called again and said that she had fully recovered. Especially since she's really recovered.
What is the secret recipe for insomnia?
First of all, let's take a look at the general composition of this prescription:
Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Ginseng Radix, Os Draconis, Concha Ostreae, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Poria, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens and Fructus Jujubae.
This prescription is made of Xiaochaihu decoction, which is specially used to treat shaoyang with disharmony between liver and gallbladder, stagnation of qi and fire, and restlessness.
Original prescription conditioning: chest tightness, upset, delirium, dysuria and other symptoms of shaoyang disease.
In this prescription:
Xiaochaihu decoction relieves the evil of shaoyang;
Keels and oysters help to subdue the yang and play a role in reconciling the mind;
Guizhi clears yang and turns qi, soothing the liver and relieving depression;
Poria cocos purges the water of triple energizer, strengthening the spleen and stabilizing the middle;
Rhubarb purges internal heat.
Why do you want to use this prescription in a depressed mood?
This prescription is mainly used to relieve liver depression caused by bad emotions, that is to say, it is mainly used to adjust emotional disorders.
Why use this prescription?
Looking at the medical records of typhoid fever in those years, I found that many cases of this prescription were to recuperate various emotional problems of mental disorder, especially emotional out of control. I thought at that time, isn't everyone like this now?
So I groped slowly and finally established the general idea of addition and subtraction.
Composition of Insomnia Foot Soaking Prescription (forbidden for pregnant women)
6 grams of Bupleurum, 6 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, 6 grams of Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparata, 6 grams of Radix Codonopsis, 6 grams of Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 30 grams of Poria, 30 grams of calcined Os Draconis, 30 grams of calcined oysters, 30 grams of mother-of-pearl, 6 grams of Ramulus Cinnamomi, 6 grams of Radix Curcumae, 6 grams of Radix Polygalae, 6 grams of Rhizoma Cyperi, 6 grams of Radix Rehmanniae and 6 grams of Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata.
Usage of Insomnia Foot Soaking Formula
Boil for 40 minutes, then divide the decoction into two parts, mix with warm water in the morning and evening, and soak your feet for 20 minutes each time. Don't be too hot, the water will flood your feet.
For some serious physical disorders, the combination of oral administration and foot bath is better, but if oral administration is needed, you need to ask local doctors to add or subtract a little according to your own physique, but ginger and jujube should be added for oral administration. I generally recommend three slices of ginger and twelve slices of jujube (minced).
Generally speaking, if it is really insomnia caused by liver-qi discomfort, there will be obvious feelings after soaking feet and it is easy to fall asleep. But this prescription is really not sleeping, but soothing the liver and calming the nerves. The improvement of sleep is only a result.
Are you depressed? Test it!
It seems that many people's physical problems have nothing to do with emotions, but if you ask carefully, you can find out what emotional depression was a few years ago. Now you feel that you are in a good mood, but your body has never adjusted.
In this case, Chinese medicine will analyze the symptoms of the body to see if the body is still depressed. I think the basic symptoms are: bitter mouth, dry mouth, dizziness, loss of appetite, cold and hot, upset and easy to get angry, upset and sulking, nausea and even vomiting, chest tightness and palpitation, swelling pain on both sides of ribs, insomnia and dreaminess. Among these symptoms, the more correct you are, the more serious you are.
At this time, the shape of the tongue is often pointed, and the normal tongue should be oval. When this tongue sticks out, it is often pointed, sharp and long. This is a main direction of my judgment.
If a person suffers from serious insomnia, I would advise him to take Chinese medicine besides soaking his feet at night.
Composition of Insomnia Foot Soaking Prescription (forbidden for pregnant women)
6 grams of Cornus officinalis, 3 grams of Schisandra chinensis, 3 grams of boiled and fried Ziziphus jujuba seed powder, taken with this water. Eat it once every night. This is the concept of nourishing the liver and blood and nourishing the heart with peace of mind.
However, this prescription can't be used for a lifetime, and it usually works for a while. What really recuperates our bodies is our good attitude and the way we treat others well. As long as you are kind to others everywhere and have compassion, you can be cheerful and have a smooth flow of blood.
Therefore, what really makes you healthy is not herbs, but adjusting your mentality and mood.
