Severe Insomnia: Understanding Root Causes and Natural Relief
Severe insomnia is more than just an occasional restless night—it’s a chronic condition that can interfere with every aspect of life. Whether it stems from emotional distress, hormonal imbalance, or neurological conditions, the inability to sleep well can lead to fatigue, memory issues, depression, and even immune system compromise.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views severe insomnia as a result of imbalances in the Heart, Liver, and Kidney systems. For example, overactive Liver Yang or Heart Fire can create a racing mind, while a deficiency in Kidney Yin fails to nourish the Heart, leaving the spirit unsettled. These imbalances often result from chronic stress, poor diet, or lifestyle habits that disrupt the body’s internal balance.
TCM provides individualized treatments, including herbal formulas like Huang Lian E Jiao Tang or Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan, that target the root of the disorder. Acupuncture offers another layer of support, calming the nervous system and increasing melatonin levels naturally.
