Methods of treating insomnia with traditional Chinese medicine

Nowadays, insomnia has become a disease that troubles many modern people. Although everyone will experience insomnia, if it is severe, it should attract everyone's attention. Traditional Chinese medicine is a common treatment for insomnia, but to ensure the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating insomnia, patients should also start from the details of daily life, develop good sleeping habits, do not drink coffee before going to bed, and do not talk about exciting topics.

Many people choose to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat insomnia, but generally mild insomnia does not require drug treatment. Insomnia is a neurological disease. Long-term insomnia will not only affect the patient's life and work, but may also cause neurasthenia. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to the disease and adjust their life details as soon as possible.

Tianwang Buxin Dan: Suitable for insomnia caused by obvious yin deficiency and anemia. Because the heart blood is consumed by fire, people not only suffer from insomnia and forgetfulness, feel panicky, but also have hot hands and feet, red tongue, and sores on the tip of the tongue. The effect of this tonic is greater.

Zhusha Anshen Pills: It is also used to treat insomnia and dreaminess, and contains Coptis chinensis which can remove heart fire. People with this kind of insomnia feel very upset, and may even be a little restless and fidgety. They may also be depressed. At this time, it is more appropriate to take Cinnabar Anshen Pills than Tianwang Buxin Pills. They can not only clear away heat but also use cinnabar, a mineral medicine, to calm the restless mind.

Tongren Baizi Yangxin Pills: Since it is for nourishing the heart, it has more tonic ingredients. The patient is obviously physically weak, suffers from insomnia, forgetfulness and shows signs of qi deficiency. This type of person will feel nervous after a little exercise and will be frightened by a slight noise. They are often said to be "easy to startle" and timid, which actually means they have a guilty conscience. That's why Astragalus is used in the medicine to replenish qi.

Anshen Buxin Pills (capsules): This medicine is suitable for insomniacs who have difficulty falling asleep or wake up easily due to frequent dreams, and who also have palpitations, irritability, dry throat and mouth, night sweats, tinnitus, and dizziness.

Yueju Baohe Pills: Suitable for people who suffer from insomnia and have frequent dreams, always feel extremely tired when waking up in the morning, have poor appetite, and have thick and greasy tongue coating. There is a folk experience to cure insomnia, which is to drink a glass of milk before going to bed. But this experience also depends on the individual. If you have insomnia that is treated with Yueju Baohe Pills, you should never drink milk again, because thick tongue coating itself indicates damp heat and unclean gastrointestinal tract. Dampness, heat and stagnation may also be the main causes of insomnia. Drinking milk will add burden to the gastrointestinal tract at night and can only aggravate the cause of the disease.

There are many ways to treat insomnia with traditional Chinese medicine, but to ensure the therapeutic effect of insomnia, patients should also start from all aspects of life. Patients with insomnia must develop good sleeping habits, avoid playing with computers or mobile phones before going to bed, and also avoid drinking alcohol and the stimulation of alcohol, in order to effectively relieve insomnia symptoms.
