At night, before going to bed, stretch your arms straight, find the elbow socket, put the four fingers of the other hand together, and gently pat the palms of the palms.
Alternate between the left and right hands, the power is from light to heavy, and the slapping to the elbow socket is slightly ruddy, with a slight purple red.
Principle:
On the inside of our arms, there are three Yin meridians that belong to the internal organs: the pericardial meridian, the lung meridian, and the heart meridian.
The acupoints with the most qi in these three meridians are all in the elbow fossa, and frequent tapping of the elbow fossa can dredge the lung qi, nourish the heart and calm the nerves, and have a good conditioning effect on heart and lung-related diseases.
The so-called medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as acupoints. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the key to regulating sleep problems lies in the feet.
After thousands of years of experience, it has been concluded that stimulating and massaging the soles of the feet has a good effect on regulating various types of sleep problems.

Insomnia can be divided into the following three types, which are more effective in symptomatic conditioning:
1. Difficulty falling asleep regulates the liver
This type of person presents with difficulty falling asleep and is a relatively common insomnia. Yang does not enter yin, and the intersection of yin and yang is blocked, causing mental restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, which is its pathogenesis.
Therefore, such insomnia can be supplemented with a little more liver-regulating foods, such as mustard greens, mulberries, black sesame, ejiao, jujubes, spinach, wolfberry, duck blood, etc., to regulate the problem of liver blood deficiency and improve insomnia from the root.
Usually, you can also moxibustion Liver Yu, Taixi and Taichong acupoints, which can well mobilize the vitality of the liver meridian, make the liver function run healthily, and play a role in nourishing the liver and protecting the liver.
2. Easy to wake up and insomnia type to regulate the spleen and stomach
Many people are prone to sudden waking up during sleep, and they also have symptoms such as greasy mouth, light mouth, anorexia, and unsatisfactory stool, which are mostly caused by disharmony between the spleen and stomach. If the stomach is not congruct, the patient can eat more yams, hawthorn, glutinous rice, sweet potatoes, coix seeds, etc. It can be eaten with yam, coix seeds, and japonica rice to cook porridge. It can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen and stomach, and is suitable for loss of appetite, abdominal distention, insomnia and dreams caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach.
In addition to adjusting the diet and relaxing the mood, people with a bad spleen and stomach can also be conditioned by moxibustion acupuncture points. Moxibustion can be used in the middle of the belly, Shenque, and Zusanli, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish the middle and invigorate the qi, activate the meridians, dispel wind and dampness, and help correct and dispel evil.
3. Poor sleep quality, regulate the kidneys
The kidneys are where people's essence, qi, and spirit reside. After the kidney qi fails, it will cause restlessness, and the lack of kidney essence in the human body will cause lack of sleep, resulting in poor sleep quality.
Yam, wolfberry, and japonica rice can be used to cook porridge together, which can nourish the kidneys and help you fall asleep. It can also moxibustion Kidney Yu, Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Sanyin Jiao, Taixi and other acupuncture points, which can warm yang and invigorate qi, nourish the kidney and spleen, cultivate and replenish vitality, and prolong life.
In addition, if you don't sleep well, you can listen to more light music on weekdays. Especially half an hour before bedtime, listening to more soothing soft music can help us sleep.
Due to the great differences in the human body, the above moxibustion prescription is for reference only, the symptoms are serious, if you need to seek medical attention, please consult a local doctor.
