Do you often have trouble falling asleep because you are overthinking?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that overthinking can harm the spleen, resulting in insufficient blood in the spleen, which in turn affects the nourishment of the heart. When the liver qi is not smooth, the stagnation may turn into fire, further disturbing the mind. The lack of yin fluid in the body makes the heart unable to be fully nourished. In this condition, the fire of the five internal organs is difficult to suppress, resulting in a strong heart fire, which makes the mind restless, which leads to symptoms such as insomnia, dreams, and mental exhaustion.
In view of this situation, I would like to introduce to you an empirical prescription from a contemporary famous Chinese medicine, called Amber Acacia White Peony Soup, the whole prescription is only composed of three flavor medicines, but the collocation is very rigorous, and the clinical effect is also obvious, especially suitable for patients with blood deficiency and yin deficiency.
Composition:Amber, acacia, white peonyWhat it does:Calm the nerves and relieve depression, nourish the blood and soften the liver. Conditioning:Insomnia, neurasthenia. Usage:Decoction with water, 1 dose per day. Take 1 time after lunch and 1 time before bedtime. The amber in this prescription can calm the five organs, calm the soul, and calm the nerves. Acacia flowers can calm the nerves and relieve depression, enter the spleen and replenish yin, enter the heart to relieve qi, and make the five organs peaceful and harmonious. White peony can nourish the blood, soften the liver and benefit the spleen, it tastes bitter into the heart, slightly cold can relieve the heart fire, taste sour into the liver, can converge the liver yin.
Addition and subtraction of medications:
1. For insomnia caused by liver deficiency and heat, it can be used together with sour jujube kernel soup;
2. For the later stage of fever, when the heat is not exhausted but the yin fluid has been damaged, it can be used together with Coptis Ejiao decoction
3. For insomnia, palpitations, forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, red tongue and no lichen caused by heart and kidney insufficiency, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, you can add traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes the heart and kidneys such as shengdi and cypress seeds.
