Nowadays, many people suffer from insomnia and dreaminess, stomach bloating and mouth ulcers due to their busy work and irregular diet. This state of being unable to eat and sleep well is simply maddening. So what can Chinese medicine do for this situation? Today, Dr. Liu will share with you three herbs to help you regulate stomach bloating, insomnia and more dreams.

In fact, this is all due to the excess of stomach fire. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that thin people have more fire due to yin deficiency. It is easy to be upset and hot, easy to sleep poorly, easy to wake up from many dreams, etc. Moreover, thin people want to grow meat and eat nourishing foods or medicines, especially warm medicinal foods, which are often easy to get angry.

Eating a lot, but not getting fat, and getting hungry easily, this phenomenon is called “eliminating the grain and improving hunger” in traditional Chinese medicine. Such people have strong stomach fire, insufficient stomach yin, too much decomposing effect of stomach on food, hypermetabolism, and excessive consumption too fast. It is often accompanied by symptoms of yin deficiency such as thirst and upset, red tongue with little coating, bad breath and constipation. In addition, spleen deficiency leads to poor absorption, and the ingested food cannot be converted into energy, qi and blood, so it is very thin and people look haggard.

For stomach fire, we can use Rhubarb Huanglian Xiexin Decoction to adjust.

The main ingredients are rhubarb, coptis, and skullcap

Insomnia, hair loss

Anxiety and irritability caused by work stress can easily make the heart and anger full of fire, which will eventually lead to Problems such as insomnia, dreaminess, or hair loss. In addition to the blood, the hair needs blood to nourish, and the heart is the main blood vessel, and the heart fires rashly. Without the nourishment of blood essence, the hair will naturally dry up and fall off.

Therefore, in the case of excessive heart and anger, the main method is to purify the fire. We can use Buihu and Baishao on the basis of Sanhuang to soothe the liver and nourish the blood, remove the fire and cool the blood, so that the hair can be nourished and re-grown, so that the Calm down your mind.
