Methods for treating insomnia and anxiety

In today's society, the increasingly fast pace of life makes many people feel very stressed. Whether in life or in daily work, the pressure is very high, so many people will have insomnia problems. In addition, in late spring and early summer every year, some people will suffer from insomnia due to the weather, and lack of sleep will cause them to not be in good spirits the next day.

1. Being too irritable and waking up from time to time is caused by liver

If your symptoms include intermittent sleeping and waking, poor spirits, fatigue, pale face, dry eyes, pale tongue, etc., it means you have liver blood deficiency, restlessness and insomnia. You can use sour jujube kernel soup to relieve the symptoms.

Nourishing methods: Insomnia can also be effectively prevented through diet therapy. For example, when you feel stressed, you can eat more green and sour fruits, such as lemons, kiwis, plums, etc. When the liver fire is strong, you will easily feel thirsty and need to drink plenty of water. Rose tea and lavender tea, combined with some jujube seeds which have a calming effect, are very effective when drunk together.

2. It is easy to dream when sleeping and feel tired when waking up because of the heart.

Often staying up late to work overtime will deplete the "yin energy" in the body bit by bit, turning it into a "yin deficiency" physique. Even if you are exhausted and go to bed you cannot fall asleep, or you have all kinds of dreams in your head one after another, and you feel like you can't get a good rest. As time goes by, you will find that your memory is declining, accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, pale face, and dizziness. In this situation, it is necessary to "nourish the heart yin and nourish the mind spirit."

Nourishing method: It is recommended to choose longan and an appropriate amount of red dates, lotus seeds and glutinous rice and cook them into porridge and eat it in the morning. Or use 6 longan pulps, 10 grams of lotus seeds and water chestnuts, add 500 ml of water to boil into tea, drink it warm once every morning and evening, which can nourish the heart and calm the mind. However, people who have a cold or have symptoms of internal heat such as dry mouth and tongue should not eat longan.

3. Insomnia in the weak is mostly caused by kidney

Being old and weak, long-term illness, overwork, or congenital physical deficiency can easily lead to symptoms such as restless sleep, waking from sleep frequently, back pain and weak legs, hot flashes and night sweats. These are mostly caused by kidney yin deficiency and excessive heart fire, and should be treated by nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney.

Nourishing methods: For dietary therapy, you can choose yam, wolfberry and rice to cook porridge together to calm the mind and help sleep.

I hope that the various reasons and corresponding methods mentioned above are helpful to you, but there are still some problems and methods. For example, sometimes, insomnia may be caused by abdominal distension or chest tightness. Traditional Chinese medicine says that if the stomach is not in harmony, then sleep will be restless. It means that if the intestines are not good, it may cause indigestion and stomach discomfort, then your sleep will not be very good, so you must pay attention to your stomach.
