So, what are the methods 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 adjust the balance of yin and yang, so as to help the body store yang more effectively.
If you stay in a shallow sleep state for a long time, it will cause losses to the essence of the human body, 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
People spend a large part of their lives in sleep, so the importance of sleep to people is self-evident.
From the medical point of view, insomnia, dreaminess and other symptoms are closely related to the disorder of people's nervous system. Chinese medicine believes that massaging acupoints 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 item in TCM theory, and 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, and these acupoints and meridians 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, traditional 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 adverse damage to the liver, and a large liver fire will inevitably have a negative impact on sleep.
Therefore, regular correct massage of Baihui, Neiguan and Shenmen points can effectively soothe the liver, reduce fire and dredge meridians, and in the long run, you can have a good sleep.
2, soaking feet before going to bed
Foot is an important part of human health, known as the "second heart", and there are many important acupoints and meridians hidden in the foot, which can be effectively stimulated by soaking feet, which also plays the role of foot massage.
Therefore, for some people with poor sleep quality, you may wish to try this method of soaking your feet in warm water before going to bed. If you persist for a period of time, you will definitely get a good high-quality sleep.
However, soaking feet is not the same as daily foot washing. It is not as simple as soaking and washing with warm water. The water temperature and time of soaking feet are required.
Generally, the water temperature is kept at about 50 degrees, which can effectively promote the blood circulation of the feet and stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians. However, the water temperature of soaking feet should not be too high, so as not to cause bad burns to the skin of feet.
In addition, it is necessary to master the time of soaking feet, which is generally kept at about 20 minutes. In addition, if the water temperature drops in the process, it is necessary to add some hot water appropriately to maintain the water temperature.
In addition, for some people with relatively serious insomnia, you can also add some seasoning when soaking your feet. Among them, salt and pepper are good choices, but they should not be too much, so as not to have the opposite effect.
3, diet conditioning method
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: "If the stomach is not harmonious, you will feel restless, which shows that if the stomach is not well cared for, it will affect the stomach qi and then induce insomnia.
Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that regulating insomnia symptoms can start with diet, which can effectively prevent insomnia. Among them, when you feel stressed or have a bad appetite, you can eat some green vegetables and sour fruits.
Among them, kiwi fruit and prune are all 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 bad loss of yin in the human body.
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. Therefore, 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 relatively excited and irritable 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 and promote excitement, it will make the brain nervous in a state of excitement, so it is difficult to fall asleep and affect sleep.
2. Create a sleeping environment
A good sleeping environment is an important factor to improve the quality of sleep, so in order to enter a good sleeping state more effectively, the lighting in the room is very important when sleeping, among which warm and dim light should be the main ones. In addition, it is also very important to keep indoor air circulation, which can create a comfortable sleeping environment and help people fall asleep as soon as possible.
