Sleep is an indispensable part of the body's physiological activities, and a good night's sleep can restore the normal function of the body and maintain physical and mental health. However, many people experience difficulty falling asleep, especially in the hectic modern life, where stress and anxiety often make it difficult to sleep. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions to introduce you to eight ways to help you fall asleep quickly.
1. Adjust the rules of life.
1.Maintain a regular work and rest time: According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body has a natural biological clock, and if you can rest at the specified time** every day, the body will get used to entering a state of sleep during this time period.
2.Eat well: Dinner should be light and avoid overeating or starvation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that only when the spleen and stomach function normally can we ensure an adequate supply of essence, qi and blood, which is beneficial to sleep.
2. Soothe the body and mind and relax stress.
1.Deep breathing: Deep breathing helps to relax the tense nervous system and improves oxygen**. It can help the body enter a state of relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
2.Meditation: Meditation is a method of achieving inner peace through focus and relaxation, which can reduce anxiety and stress and promote falling asleep.
3. Use traditional Chinese medicine health preservation methods.
1.Warm the soles of the feet: According to the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, the soles of the feet are the starting point of the 12 meridians, and keeping the soles of the feet warm can promote the circulation of qi and blood and help you fall asleep.
2.Rubbing acupuncture points for sleep: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that some acupuncture points can regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body and promote sleep. For example, in the Hegu acupoint (the back of the hand.
2. The depression between the second and third metacarpal bones) can help relieve tension and regulate the heart and spleen.
Fourth, the use of Chinese herbal medicine.
1.Honeysuckle Tea: Honeysuckle is a Chinese herb with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, and it is widely believed to help you fall asleep. Honeysuckle can be soaked in water for drinking, or mixed with other Chinese herbs that have a calming effect to make a medicinal meal.
2.Mugwort Leaf Pillow: Artemisia leaf is a common Chinese herb that can promote blood circulation, soothe nerves, and help you fall asleep. Put mugwort leaves in a pillow, and the smell can penetrate into the body when you sleep, and exert medicinal effects.
Conclusion: The above eight methods are summarized by me based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and rich experience, and I hope it will help you fall asleep quickly. However, everyone's constitution and sleep needs are different, and it is recommended that you consult a professional doctor or TCM practitioner before using these methods. May you all have a good night's sleep and be energized for each day!
