Xiao Chai Hu Tang does not cure insomnia, but it can relieve other discomforts of insomnia patients.
Xiao Chaihu Tang is a traditional Chinese medicine formula composed of Chaihu, Ginseng, Pinellia, Scutellaria, and Glycyrrhiza glabra (roasted). It has the efficacy of reconciling Shaoyang, and is usually used in the treatment of cold and heat exchanges (the body is hot for a while and cold for a while), bitter fullness in the chest (feeling fullness and discomfort in the front and sides of the chest), heartburn, nausea, and a bitter, dry mouth and throat.
Insomnia is not mentioned in the efficacy and main treatment of Xiao Chai Hu Tang, so Xiao Chai Hu Tang has no role in treating insomnia.

It is recommended that patients with insomnia consult a doctor in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions, do not self-medication, so as not to delay the condition.
