Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment for Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sub-health condition affecting urban dwellers. Traditional Chinese medicine effectively treats insomnia through methods including herbal remedies, acupuncture, gua sha, and massage.
TCM theory holds that this condition arises from excessive thinking and fatigue damaging the heart and spleen, resulting in insufficient blood production and lack of nourishment to the spirit; or from fright, sexual excess damaging the kidneys, leading to excessive heart fire, disharmony between heart and kidney, and mental unrest; or due to constitutional weakness and timidity of the heart and gallbladder; or emotional distress causing liver yang disturbance; or from unsanitary diet and poor spleen-stomach harmony. Consequently, treatment focuses primarily on these underlying causes.
