Nowadays, many people suffer from insomnia, and there are many different reasons for insomnia. Therefore, there are many different methods for treating different types of insomnia. Let's take a look at how to use Gastrodia elata to treat insomnia!
Many people have tried using Western medicine to treat insomnia, but eventually turned to traditional Chinese medicine. There are many herbs in traditional Chinese medicine that have the effect of treating insomnia, and Gastrodia elata is one of them. Now let's find out how to use Gastrodia elata to treat insomnia together!
Most cases of insomnia are caused by hormonal imbalance, and any of the internal organs can be the culprit. Therefore, we need to identify the cause, especially the liver. Once the liver has a problem, the organs in the body will send a signal to the brain to "work overtime," leading to insomnia.
Gastrodia elata has a neutral nature and a sweet taste. It has the effects of calming wind, calming the mind, and promoting blood circulation. It can be used to treat symptoms such as headache, dizziness, insomnia, and excessive dreaming caused by liver yang.
Gastrodia elata contains effective ingredients such as Gastrodia polysaccharides and Gastrodin, which have sedative and anticonvulsant effects, and can also protect brain nerve cells. Therefore, Gastrodia elata can be considered as a good Chinese herbal medicine for nourishing the liver and aiding sleep.
Gastrodia elata can to some extent treat insomnia, and it can be taken together with other herbs such as longan, sour jujube kernel, and fleeceflower stem to enhance the sedative and sleep-promoting effects.
However, due to individual differences in physical condition, the absorption of the medicinal effects varies from person to person, so the therapeutic effect of Gastrodia elata may vary.
In addition, sleep habits, mental stress, and diseases can all cause insomnia. Insomnia patients should seek medical guidance for medication.
This Chinese herbal medicine can be taken with boiled water or added to chicken soup. It is generally taken during dinner or before bedtime, with a dosage of 1.5g per time. If added to chicken soup, the dosage can be increased to 7g. Persist in taking it for a month, and you will be able to get rid of sleeping pills, I believe.
