Early awakening refers to the phenomenon of waking up significantly earlier than normal people during the normal sleep cycle. If a person has frequent early awakenings, then we need to be vigilant, because early awakenings can be a sign of physical problems. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to share with you the 4 diseases that people who often wake up early should be wary of, as well as some of the applications of Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions.
First, frequent early awakenings can be a manifestation of liver disease. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is the main drain, which has the effect of regulating mood and controlling sleep. If there is an abnormality in liver function, it can lead to a decrease in sleep quality, which can lead to early awakening. The ancients had some famous prescriptions that could help regulate liver function, such as Xiaoyao Pill, Chai Hu plus keel oyster soup, etc. These formulas have some clinical applications and can help improve liver function, thereby alleviating the problem of early awakening.
Secondly, early awakening may also be a sign of cardiovascular disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the main blood. If the heart function is poor and the blood circulation is impaired, it will affect the quality of sleep and cause early awakening. **There are many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for cardiovascular diseases, such as Coptis detoxification decoction, Panax notoginseng shallot Baisan, etc. These medications can improve the function of the cardiovascular system and help improve sleep problems.
Third, frequent early awakenings may also be associated with neurological disorders. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysfunction of the nervous system can lead to a decrease in sleep quality, which can lead to early awakening. Acupuncture is a common method of nervous system diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Neiguan acupoint, Yongquan acupoint, etc., all of which have the effect of regulating nerve function. In addition, there are also some famous prescriptions for neuromodulation in the Jing Fang, such as Yuanzhi Soup, Gui Spleen Soup, etc. These can be used as an aid to early awakening.
Finally, frequent early awakenings may also be associated with digestive disorders. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is mainly transported, and poor spleen and stomach function will lead to indigestion and decreased sleep quality, resulting in early awakening. There are some famous prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine that can help regulate the function of the spleen and stomach, such as Sijunzi Soup, Xiangzhi Drink, etc. These formulas are often used in clinical practice for digestive system diseases, and also help regulate sleep.
In conclusion, people who often wake up early need to be alert to 4 diseases: liver disease, cardiovascular disease, nervous system disease, and digestive system disease. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many ancient and modern prescriptions that can assist these diseases and improve sleep quality. However, it should be emphasized that the above is only a reference, if you have the problem of waking up early, it is recommended that you seek medical attention in time, and according to the specific condition, the doctor will customize the ** plan. Only by correctly understanding the problem and being positive, can we relieve the trouble as soon as possible and maintain physical and mental health.
