A piece of ginger can cure insomnia, is there a simpler and more effective way than this?









01


What about insomnia? If you've tried a lot of things to no avail, then you might as well experience the benefits of ginger to relieve insomnia.



The use of ginger to treat insomnia is an old home remedy. The method is to place 10 grams of shredded or minced ginger on the side of the pillow every night before going to sleep, so that the nose can just smell the faint aroma of ginger.


This method will be effective in 10 days to half a month.


What is the scientific basis for this method? Modern pharmacological studies have shown that ginger contains a variety of components such as gingerol, gingerene, and citric acid, which have the effects of relieving fatigue and improving sleep.

In addition, you can also use the method of massaging acupuncture points to improve sleep at the same time, i.e. massage Zhaohai acupoint, Shen Mai acupoint and Sanyin Jiao acupoint.


The Zhaohai point is located just below the tip of the inner malleolus and presses on the sore area.

The Shen pulse point is located just below the tip of the outer malleolus and presses on the sore area.



The Sanyin Jiao point is located three inches above the tip of the inner ankle of the foot, in the depression of the tibial edge. Massage each acupoint for 5 to 10 minutes, preferably with soreness and fever, 1 to 2 hours before bedtime every night.


Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Zhaohai acupoint connects yin and stilt veins, and Shen acupoint connects yang stilt veins, so stimulating these two acupuncture points can regulate the conversion of yin and yang laws and enhance sleep quality. Massaging the three yin points can invigorate yin qi and is effective for insomnia caused by yang prosperity and yin decay.
