Insomnia is a very painful thing, but people who have experienced insomnia should know this pain, but there is nothing they can do. Chinese medicine believes that the reason why people suffer from insomnia lies in that "Yang does not enter Yin". What does this mean? In other words, the human body's yang is too high, resulting in insufficient yin, which makes the human body's yin and yang conditioning unbalanced and brings great burden to the human body.

1. Banxia decoction

Pinellia ternata is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, and the "Pinellia decoction" made of this traditional Chinese medicine can be described as a good medicine for insomnia. Chinese medicine believes that Pinellia ternata grows in midsummer, hence its name. This medicinal material was born when the yang is strong in nature, which completely meets the conditions of "anode producing yin", so it can be considered that Pinellia ternata has the endowment of anode producing yin and is the most suitable medicinal material for "attracting yang into yin".

Of course, for people with strong liver-qi, special attention should be paid to dosage collocation when using Pinellia ternata, and they should not pursue sleep excessively, ignoring the performance of yang entering the liver. Only by clearing the internal heat completely can we let our bodies sleep completely. Otherwise, even Pinellia ternata, which has a good therapeutic effect, may not have a good effect, but it will bring more trouble to the body.

Massage Shenmen point

In addition to medication, there are also some acupoints, which are also designed for people with insomnia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Shenmen point is the original point of the heart meridian, which can treat some diseases related to consciousness, especially for those who are impetuous and have poor sleep quality, and its role will shine brilliantly. If the sleep quality is not good at ordinary times, I suggest that you massage this acupoint, which can be done half an hour before going to bed, and each time 15 minutes can achieve the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the heart.

So where is this Shenmen point? It is easier to locate the ulnar end of the wrist, that is, the place where the wrist artery can be felt at ordinary times, and it extends to the ulnar side along this pulsation point, about three fingers away, which is the location of Shenmen point.
