Insomnia is one of the common health problems in today's society. It not only affects the quality of sleep at night, but also has a negative impact on the quality of life and work efficiency during the day. At Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine, we provide comprehensive and in-depth treatment plans for insomnia patients by inheriting and carrying forward the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. Here are the main treatment strategies we use for insomnia:
1. Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that insomnia is mostly caused by deficiency of the heart and spleen, disharmony between the heart and kidneys, liver stagnation transforming into fire, or internal disturbance of phlegm and heat. According to the patient's specific symptoms and constitution, Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine will prescribe targeted Chinese medicine prescriptions, such as Suanzaoren Decoction, Tianwang Buxindan or Ganmai Dazao Decoction, etc. These prescriptions can help nourish the heart and calm the mind and promote sleep.
2. Acupuncture treatment
Acupuncture is an effective way of treating insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine. It adjusts the body's qi, blood and visceral functions by stimulating specific acupoints. Commonly used acupuncture points include Shenmai, Neiguan, Taichong, etc. The stimulation of these acupoints can help relieve mental stress and improve sleep quality.
3. Moxibustion treatment
Moxibustion uses the heat and medicinal effects of mugwort to treat specific acupoints. It is particularly effective in treating insomnia caused by cold evil. For example, moxibustion at Shenmen and Zusanli points can enhance the body's yang energy and harmonize the heart and kidneys, thereby promoting better sleep.
4. Dietary conditioning
At Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine, we also pay special attention to the role of diet in the treatment of insomnia. Patients are advised to choose foods that are easy to digest and rich in B vitamins and calcium, such as whole grains, dairy products and green leafy vegetables, which can help stabilize the nervous system and improve sleep. Also, avoid excessive caffeine and sugar intake to reduce stimulation of the nervous system.
5. Lifestyle guidance
Good living habits are the cornerstone of preventing and treating insomnia. Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine advocates a regular work and rest schedule, avoids excessive use of electronic devices at night, and recommends light to moderate exercise, such as Tai Chi or yoga, which can help relax the body and mind and improve sleep.
At Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine, we are committed to helping insomnia patients restore normal sleep patterns through these comprehensive treatments, thereby improving quality of life.
