How does Chinese medicine treat intractable insomnia?
Chinese medicine mainly regulates insomnia through emotional therapy, oral Chinese medicine, acupuncture and physical therapy. Zhang Xuhui, an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Hejiang, thinks that insomnia is related to the dysfunction of zang-fu organs, mainly involving the heart, liver and spleen. He believes that the mind governs the gods, and when you are calm, you can fall asleep naturally, but when you are upset, it will be difficult to fall asleep. Insomnia is prone to anxiety because it can't sleep for a long time, and anxiety will aggravate insomnia, so it is particularly important for patients to adjust their emotions and relax. Secondly, there are two main reasons for insomnia when taking traditional Chinese medicine decoction for conditioning. The first type is deficiency syndrome, including deficiency of both heart and spleen and kidney yin deficiency, which is usually treated with Guipi decoction and Huanglian Ejiao slurry. The second type is called excess syndrome, and the common syndrome of excess fire in liver and gallbladder is treated with Longdan Xiegan Pill. For food retention syndrome, baohe pill can be used for treatment. If the heart fire is strong, it can also be treated with Zhusha Anshen Pill. Acupuncture also has a good effect on intractable insomnia, adjusting the function of human viscera, thus balancing yin and yang and improving sleep. Please follow the doctor's advice for details.
