Tossing and turning, this acupuncture point is a "hypnotic"!

The symptoms of insomnia have occurred in almost every adult. Once or twice once in a while is fine, but if it takes a long time, it will be too painful. According to modern medicine, insomnia refers to insufficient sleep time, or not sleeping deeply and unfamiliarly. It can be divided into three types: initial insomnia, intermittent insomnia, and endpoint insomnia.

Initial insomnia is difficulty falling asleep, and it is not possible to fall asleep until the second half of the night, which is mostly caused by mental tension, anxiety, fear, etc.;

Intermittent insomnia is not restless sleep, easy to wake up, often have nightmares, and middle-aged people with indigestion are prone to this condition;

Endpoint insomnia is that it is not difficult to fall asleep, but it does not last long, and it can not fall asleep again after waking up in the second half of the night, and the elderly patients with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and mental depression often have this kind of insomnia.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the most common cause of insomnia is the incompatibility of the heart and kidneys, that is, the kidney water cannot rise, the heart is on fire, and the water and fire cannot be combined, resulting in people being upset and unable to sleep peacefully.

There are many ways to treat insomnia, the most common being long-term use of sleeping medications. This medicine has an inhibitory effect on the cranial nerves, and although it is effective temporarily, it cannot cure the root cause. Moreover, long-term medication will cause patients to become dependent on drugs and have severe memory loss, and even Alzheimer's disease. Here is an introduction to a kind of "hypnotic agent" when you can't sleep - acupoint therapy, that is, kneading the Shen pulse acupoint.

The Shen pulse point is located on the lateral part of the foot, in a depression directly below the lateral malleolus. Shenmai acupoint is the supreme magic method for preventing insomnia. Press the thumbs of both hands on both sides of the Shenmai acupoints and rub vigorously for 5~7 minutes. Insisting on this 1 hour before going to bed every day can promote the rise of kidney water, moisturize the heart, and prevent the heart from being overheated. The heart and kidneys coordinate with each other, restrain each other, and communicate with each other to maintain the dynamic balance of upper physiology, which is called "water and fire". In this way, you can sleep peacefully.
