In the midst of a busy city, Ms. Li, a retired middle school history teacher, is facing a seemingly ordinary but insurmountable challenge - insomnia and dreams. Since his retirement, his nights have become long and torturous. When night falls, the world around is immersed in tranquility and peace, but in Mr. Li's room, the bedside lamp seems particularly lonely.
After many years of teaching, Mr. Li has developed a regular Xi of life, but after retirement, all this seems to have been disrupted. He often tosses and turns, reverberating in his mind about past teaching scenes and smiling faces of his students, and when he finally falls asleep, he is disturbed by chaotic dreams. In his dreams, he sometimes returned to the podium, sometimes in the various eras of history, and always woke up feeling exhausted.
In his circle of friends, Mr. Li has heard many times about the unique effects of Chinese medicine in the treatment of insomnia, but he is always skeptical. As an educator who adheres to science, he is Xi to trust modern medicine, but his long-term treatment for insomnia has been tried and failed. Whenever night came, Mr. Li's mood became complicated, with both the desire for sleep and the fear of insomnia again.
This is the current situation of Mr. Li, an ordinary retired teacher, facing the troubles that many elderly people will encounter. And this time, he decided to try a new method - Chinese medicine. This is not only an attempt at insomnia, but also an exploration of traditional medicine.
As time passed, Mr. Zhang began to realize that his sleep problems were not just temporary, but a persistent illness that continued to plague him. He tried everything from changing his bedtime Xi to trying relaxing music and hot milk, but none of those efforts seemed to help. Tossing and turning nights and chaotic dreams began to affect his daily life, and he felt that his mental state and physical health were affected.
At the suggestion of a friend, Mr. Zhang decided to seek the help of Chinese medicine practitioners. He made an appointment with a well-known local TCM practitioner in the hope of finding a more natural solution. The TCM physician carefully inquired about Mr. Zhang's lifestyle Xi, diet and sleep patterns, and then prescribed him a pair of Chinese medicines. This formula includes several specific herbs, all of which are common choices for treating insomnia and dreaminess.
The first is jujube kernel, which is widely used to calm the nerves and aid sleep. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sour jujube kernels can nourish the heart and calm the nerves, and have a good therapeutic effect on insomnia caused by heart, liver and blood deficiency. The second is Poria cocos, which can not only help regulate the body's water metabolism, but also calm the nerves. Finally, Enshi, a medicinal herb traditionally believed to improve memory and mental concentration, has also shown positive results in treating insomnia.
Teacher Zhang began to take these herbs according to the instructions of the Chinese medicine practitioner. At first, he was skeptical about this treatment, but as time went on, he began to notice some positive changes. He found that he woke up less often during the night and was able to fall back asleep more quickly even when he woke up occasionally. Even more comfortingly, his dreams became less chaotic and disturbing, but more calm and restorative.
With the gradual improvement of sleep quality, Ms. Zhang's daytime mental state has also improved significantly. He began to feel more energetic, and his concentration and memory improved. All these positive changes have made him deeply trust and appreciate TCM treatment.
Mr. Zhang's story is not unique. In fact, a growing body of research has shown the potential effectiveness of these traditional herbs in treating insomnia and dreaminess. For example, some clinical trials have found that herbs such as jujube kernels do improve sleep quality and reduce the frequency of waking up at night.
Mr. Zhang's experience proves the potential and value of TCM in dealing with common ailments in modern people, especially sleep disorders like insomnia. With more scientific research support, these ancient herbs and treatments will continue to bring well-being to modern society.
As time passed, Mr. Li began to experience the miraculous effects of Chinese medicine. At first, he just felt that he woke up less often at night and that his dreams were less disturbing. But after a few weeks, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he was able to enjoy an almost complete, undisturbed sleep. Mr. Li's sleep quality has improved significantly, he feels more energetic during the day, and his whole mood has become more optimistic.
During this process, Mr. Li's TCM physician gave him a detailed introduction to the efficacy of each herb. For example, jujube kernels are rich in natural calming ingredients that help to calm the nerves and hypnotize, while Poria cocos helps to adjust the body's internal balance with its water-inducing properties. At the same time, he also emphasized that TCM treatment requires time and patience, and is not something that can be achieved overnight.
In addition, under the guidance of TCM practitioners, Mr. Li also began to pay more attention to lifestyle adjustments, such as appropriately increasing outdoor activities during the day and reducing the time spent using electronic devices at night, and these subtle changes also unconsciously improved his sleep quality.
Of course, Mr. Li's case is not unique. In recent years, with the deepening of modern scientific research, more and more studies have begun to confirm the effectiveness of certain TCM ingredients in the treatment of insomnia. For example, studies have shown that certain components in jujube kernels can effectively regulate neurotransmitters in the brain, thereby improving sleep quality. These studies provide a scientific basis for the application of traditional Chinese medicine in the field of modern medicine.
The combination of Mr. Li's experience and the conclusions of scientific research not only confirms the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of insomnia, but also demonstrates the great potential of combining traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. Through this experience, Mr. Li not only got rid of the insomnia problem that had plagued him for a long time, but also felt the charm and value of Chinese medicine culture more deeply.
