Address for safe and effective treatment of insomnia

Nonorganic insomnia is a type of sleep disorder. Insomnia not only reduces the quality of life but also has a negative impact on overall health.

According to modern medicine, non-organic insomnia is mainly related to psycho-social factors, in which emotional causes are the first and most basic. The use of modern medicine helps to reduce insomnia symptoms quickly. However, many sleeping pills can cause unwanted side effects such as fatigue, dizziness or lead to drug dependence.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, insomnia belongs to the category of “sleeplessness,” “inability to sleep,” or “inability to sleep.” The cause of insomnia is considered from the perspective of impaired function of the five internal organs (including the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys), insufficient essence and blood, and disturbance of external evil qi leading to restlessness of the spirit.

Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital is applying safe and effective insomnia treatment methods to help improve sleep quality for patients such as:

Use of drugs:Using the “Hoan An Than” product prepared by the hospital, in addition to its sedative and sleep-inducing effects, also has the effect of nourishing the heart and spleen, relaxing the liver and relieving depression. According to Oriental medicine, a healthy heart, good nerves, a peaceful liver, and a relaxed mind will help you sleep well. Therefore, the product has a very good effect in sedating, creating and maintaining good sleep for the user.

Acupuncture:Acupuncture is a method of using needles to insert into acupuncture points on the body to regulate blood circulation and improve sleep. Commonly used points include An Mien, Shen Men, San Yin Jiao and Nei Guan.

Massage, acupressure:Massage and acupressure are also effective methods in treating insomnia. Massaging acupressure points such as Baihui and Taichong can help relax, reduce stress and improve sleep.

Foot bath, foot steam: The warm temperature of the water along with the active ingredients in the herbs help increase blood circulation, especially in the legs, helping to warm the body and create a feeling of comfort. Some herbs have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, helping to reduce the feeling of pain in the legs after a long day of activity. Foot baths and foot steaming with herbs help balance the body's energy, eliminate toxins and improve the function of organs, thereby helping the patient to fall asleep more easily.

Qigong for health preservation:The gentle movements of qigong help improve blood circulation, increase blood flow, help the body relax, thereby improving sleep quality.
