Chinese medicines for insomnia include Zhu Sha An Shen Pill, Long Guo Diarrhea Liver Tang, An Shen Ding Zhi Pill, Tian Tian Tian Tian Xin Dan, etc. Patients are advised to choose suitable and effective Chinese medicines for treatment under the guidance of professional Chinese medicine practitioners, and avoid blindly using them on their own. According to the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, insomnia is mostly related to mental and emotional factors, but it is also related to the imbalance of yin and yang, qi and blood of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach and kidney. Different proprietary Chinese medicines need to be selected for treatment according to the patient’s specific situation. For example, if the heart fire is hyperactive, Zhu Sha An Shen Pill can be used to treat it; if the liver is depressed and turns into fire (the Qi of the liver is impassable leading to the production of fire and heat), Long Dan Diarrheal Liver Soup can be used according to the doctor’s prescription; if insomnia is caused by the deficiency of the heart and gallbladder Qi, An Shen Ding Zhi Pill and Sour Jujubae Seed Soup can be used, and if there is a lack of communication between the heart and the kidney (the heart fire is strong and the kidney yin is deficient, and the physiological function of the heart and the kidney is dysfunctional), Heavenly King’s Heart Replenishing Dan can be used. In addition, some patients can also use acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese medicine foot soak and other methods to improve the symptoms of insomnia. It is recommended that patients with insomnia should go to a regular Chinese medicine hospital for consultation and be given reasonable and effective medication by a Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment, and should not blindly use medication on their own, so as to avoid ineffective treatment or other adverse reactions.
