It is the common knowledge of doctors of all ages that Ziziphus Semen can treat insomnia. Zhu Zhenheng believes: "Those whose blood does not return to the spleen and who are restless when sleeping or sleeping should use this (Spiny Date Seed) to greatly nourish the heart and spleen. Then the blood will return to the spleen and the five Tibetan organs will be peaceful, and sleep and sleeping will be peaceful." "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: " Ziziphus jujube kernel is sweet and moist, so when used raw, it can treat gallbladder insomnia, polydipsia, and sweating. When used raw, it can treat gallbladder heat and improve sleep. It is also a medicine for Jueyin and Shaoyang. Nowadays, people only regard it as a medicine for the heart, but it is not clear. This is the reason. ”

1. Experience on the clinical use of Ziziphus Semen for sleeping purposes

Insomnia is common, and I often use Ziziphus Ziziphus to treat insomnia in clinical practice. I have the following medication experience: < /p>

First, the medicinal properties of Ziziphus Semen are very mild, and it is a chronic and effective soothing drug. Sometimes the first use of jujube kernel may not be very effective, but if you can persist in using it for a few days, you can slowly gain the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.

Secondly, when treating insomnia, Ziziphus jujuba kernel can be used in conjunction with Polygala to increase the curative effect; if the heart qi is insufficient, it can be combined with Codonopsis pilosula; if the liver fire is excessive, it can be combined with Angelica sinensis and white peony root; For spleen deficiency, Atractylodes macrocephala can be used; for lung deficiency, Ophiopogon japonicus can be used; for qi deficiency, Astragalus can be used; for blood deficiency, earthworm root can be used.

Thirdly, jujube kernels can not only soothe the mind, but are also a good tonic, nourishing and strengthening. For the weak type of insomnia, which is manifested by fatigue and inability to sleep, jujube kernel can be taken for a long time. It can not only nourish the heart and sleep well, but also strengthen the spleen, calm the five internal organs, and strengthen the spirit.

Fourthly, if used in decoction, the amount of jujube kernel should not be too small, usually 10-30 grams. Some people use up to 60 grams and think that the sleeping effect is better. But after all, this medicine is quite expensive, costing as much as 40 yuan alone. Therefore, the price should also be considered when using a large amount of medicine.

Fifth, the sour taste of jujube seeds enters the liver and is a good medicine for the liver. 30 grams of jujube kernels and 10 grams of roasted licorice, decoction in water, can not only nourish liver blood and help you sleep, but can also relieve pain and relieve pain, and treat stomachache in the middle of the night. Because jujube kernels and licorice match each other, their sourness and sweetness transform yin, and they can be used as a priority.

Six points: Aconite is needed to treat insomnia due to weak heart yang. Because Aconite has the power to strengthen the heart. If jujube seeds can be combined with it, the curative effect will be even higher. Because jujube kernels are sour and astringent, they can help aconite absorb the energy of frustration, and jujube kernels themselves can induce sleep.

Seventhly, Ziziphus jujuba kernel can help you sleep well. If it is incorporated into syndrome differentiation prescriptions, it will have very good effects and will not have the toxic side effects of Western medicine, nor will it cause addiction. Ziziphus seeds can be taken for a long time.

According to "Supplementary Materials of Materia Medica", Ziziphus jujuba kernel "can be used for sleeping more, and should not be used for cooking". My clinical observation shows that whether it is used raw or fried, it has the effect of inducing sleep. When I use wild jujube kernels in clinical practice, I like to stir-fry them and then mash them, so that I can have a good sleep without the disadvantages of intestinal slippery and diarrhea caused by raw use.

Nine times, jujube kernels can be put into decoction, or can be ground into powder and taken. My suggestion is that jujube kernels are not cheap. If you can grind them into fine powder and drink them, or cook them with rice to make porridge, they will have a very good sleeping effect and save money.

Tenth, Ziziphus jujube kernel combined with Polygala root has good sleep effect. Its sedative effect is very good, which is no less than some Western medicine for sleeping, and has no toxic or side effects. The formula of jujube kernel and polygala root is 3:1.

2. Ancient prescriptions for using wild jujube kernels to help you sleep:

The ancients had some experience in using wild jujube kernels to treat insomnia. Here are a few recipes using wild jujube kernels for your reference. How ancient doctors used jujube seeds.

Ziziphus seeds can help you sleep well. If you can make good use of it, there will be no insomnia in the world. If the diagnosis is not done properly, it will be a waste of money. Therefore, when treating insomnia, we should pay attention to jujube seeds.

There are imported and domestically produced wild jujube kernels. The imported ones are much cheaper, but the efficacy remains to be seen. The domestically produced wild jujube kernels are authentic products and have certain efficacy when used correctly and cannot be ignored during clinical use.
