Chinese Medicine Insomnia: The Inside Problem
People go without sleep constantly. Everyday there is something causing us to lose sleep. Whether it is stress, work, school, or anxiety, insomnia can come about. On top of the already ailing problems, insomnia can cause other health problems. Traditional Chinese medicine has its own way of dealing with insomnia and curing it.
Our medicine is greatly different than that of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, most people with insomnia will go to their doctor and be prescribed a sleeping pill. Chinese medicine takes a different route. It is a more natural route that chooses to find the real reason you are suffering from insomnia. One of those ways is that the major organs of the body house our Spirit and when there is a problem with those organs insomnia is just one of the many problems that arise.
Traditional Chinese medical books have many listings of insomnia and what causes it. There are also many different types of insomnia that give variations of why the person is losing sleep. Some of these types are dream-disturbed sleep, difficulty falling asleep, waking up easily, and waking up at the same time each night. One or more major internal organs in the body is the cause of one of these sleep problems.
There are symptoms that Chinese doctors are in tuned to pay attention to, to help pay attention to a patient suffering from insomnia. Some of these symptoms are when a patient has misaligned heart and kidneys they may have lightheadedness, weakness in the lower back, palpitations, and gets flushed easily. Someone with spleen/ heart deficiency may be very forgetful, have poor concentration, and may worry over everything.
The kidney seems to be the most common organ to observe for sleep problems, especially insomnia. According to traditional Chinese medicine, when the kidneys are not capable of storing energy then insomnia incurs. When the kidney is unable to hold on to energy it will ascend to the heart and disturb it. This will keep the person awake.
A few cures for insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine are acupuncture, herbal therapy, and acupressure. Acupuncture has proven to be a wonderful cure for insomnia. However, for those not comfortable letting someone put needles in your body, herbal therapy is very healing. Some common flavors are chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and passion flower. Acupressure or a massage is another alternative. The pressure on your body corrects your energies.
With our obsession with the quick fix in a little pill, we have forgotten to look at our inner workings to find what is wrong with the outer part. Chinese medicine focuses on a natural healing process to deal with insomnia. We should all try to look into this natural process of curing insomnia.
