The common symptoms of insomnia are difficulty in falling asleep, reduced sleep quality and sleep duration, memory and concentration. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat insomnia at its root, with better results through symptomatic treatment according to different causes. Due to the fast pace of life, high work pressure and relatively tense interpersonal relationships in contemporary society, insomnia can still recur after being cured and can continue to be cured through TCM treatment, similar to the common daily symptoms of the flu. In addition, Chinese medicine treatment of insomnia has certain advantages and relatively good results, but after cure, attention still needs to be paid to adjusting emotional and other factors to avoid relapse.
