An old Chinese medicine practitioner taught me a trick! No matter whether you are a man or a woman, one small action before going to bed can help you sleep until dawn!
After the temperature drops, many people start tossing and turning. Insomnia is really annoying. Once you don't sleep well, a chain effect will occur, which is extremely detrimental to work, study and health. Although there are many reasons for insomnia, Chinese medicine believes that the main reason is still human internal factors. Specific reasons include physical illness, weakness, depression, and worry; or unreasonable diet, excessive hunger and fullness; or psychological stress, such as excessive work and study pressure.
Such factors can lead to imbalance of yin and yang, imbalance of qi and blood, dysfunction of internal organs, malnutrition of the mind and spirit, and restlessness, which in turn can lead to sleep neurological disorders and inability to sleep.
1. A small action before going to bed will help you sleep until dawn
There are many ways to relieve insomnia. Let’s talk about a simple and effective method - stepping on beans. To step on the beans, take 7500 grams of adzuki beans and 250 grams of Huai wheat, mix them together, then put them in a pot and stir-fry them until it reaches about 50 degrees. Put them in a basin and step on them alternately with your left and right feet for about 20 minutes before going to bed.
2. Stepping on beans has two benefits
1. Acupoint effect
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are many acupuncture points on the soles of human feet. Stepping on beans can coordinate qi and blood with the help of acupoint stimulation and meridian conduction, smooth the meridians, balance the functions of the internal organs, and thus play a role in treating diseases and health care.
There are two important acupuncture points on the soles of human feet that are important for treating insomnia. The first one is the Yongquan point, . Yongquan point is an acupoint at the lowest level of the human body. It is stepped on the sole of the foot. Although it is as low as dust, its function cannot be underestimated. As the first point of the Kidney meridian, it is well-deserved to be called the source of life. Yongquan point is an important point for personal health care. Stimulating it can bring fire back to its original state , nourish the heart and calm the mind, nourish yin and clear away heat.
There is also an insomnia point, which is a strange point outside the meridian. It is located in the center of the heel. It is very effective in treating insomnia. Stimulating these two acupoints can communicate with the heart and kidneys, nourish kidney yin, calm the mind, and help sleep.
2, drug effects
The so-called external treatment is to use surgery and drugs combined with medical equipment to directly act on the patient's body surface or the lesion to achieve the purpose of treatment. External treatment methods include guidance, massage, moxibustion, acupuncture, and other types. Internal treatment includes the application of prescriptions, as well as medicated diet therapy, Chinese medicine and wine therapy, and Chinese herbal tea drinking. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that external treatment and internal treatment have similar effects.
Adzuki bean, also known as adzuki bean, can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness. Its color is red and can nourish the blood and benefit the heart. Huaimai can strengthen the spleen and stomach, calm and soothe the nerves. The hot soybean and wheat can stimulate the acupuncture points on the feet and promote the conduction of meridians through heat, allowing the medicinal power to quickly penetrate into all parts of the body, thus smoothing the qi and blood, communicating with the heart and kidneys, and balancing yin and yang.
People with chronic insomnia can relax their mood and stabilize their mood by stepping on beans for several days, and then have a good sleep. For people with particularly severe insomnia, it is recommended to supplement it with drug intervention, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
It should be reminded that adzuki beans and huai wheat can be reused several times and do not need to be replaced every time. After stepping on the beans, if you soak your feet in hot water for 10 minutes, the effect will be better.
In addition, insomniacs should also pay attention to their daily routine, develop good sleeping habits, keep a happy mood, don't overthink, don't do strenuous exercise before going to bed, don't stay up late watching TV shows, don't be too full or too hungry for dinner, and don't drink strong tea or coffee before going to bed. Remembering and doing these will help our friends sleep better.
