Say goodbye to insomnia and gain beauty

Sleep plays a vital role in the health of your skin.The color of the skin depends on the content and location of melanin in epidermal cells and the expansion of blood vessels in the skin. All these factors are regulated by the human endocrine system, and sleep plays a leading role in endocrine regulation.

During sleep, the circulation of skin capillaries increases, which can accelerate skin regeneration.Both the smoothness of the skin and the elasticity of the skin require an adequate supply of nutrients from the subcutaneous capillaries.Once sleep disturbance occurs, frequent insomnia will weaken the care of sleep on the skin.Insomnia is also called "not lying down", "sleeping", and "unclosed eyes" in the "Huangdi Neijing". Generally, insomnia is caused by the following 4 reasons, and everyone needs to "prescribe the right medicine".

Are you insomnia?let's see which one

Stomach disharmony: People have strong yang energy during the day, and food will be digested immediately by the yang energy of the stomach, but at night, when yin energy is strong, yang energy is relatively weak, and eating food is not easy to digest.It is now advocated to eat less at night, so as not to add burden to the stomach, otherwise it will cause "stomach disharmony" and lead to insomnia.

Essence without concentration: Essence is yin and spirit is yang. The so-called lack of concentration means that yin and yang cannot live in harmony.The kidney stores essence. If there is a situation where the essence is not concentrated, it means that there is a problem with the kidney. When regulating insomnia, we should start from the kidney.

Excessive thinking: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" believes that "thinking hurts the spleen", that is, if you think too much, it will hurt the function of the spleen, and the spleen and stomach are integrated. If the spleen is not good, the stomach will also have problems. In the end, "stomach disharmony will cause restless sleeping" .

Excessive heart fire: Traditional Chinese medicine refers to excessive heart fire as "internal combustion in the palace". Excessive heart fire can not only cause insomnia, but also symptoms such as red tongue and yellow urine.

In addition, disharmony between the heart and the kidney, hyperactivity of the liver, gallbladder and upset, etc. can also lead to insomnia, so don't underestimate insomnia.

Regulate liver meridian, fall asleep quickly

The Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin starts from the inner nail edge of the big toe, goes up to the ankle, then goes up along the inner side of the leg, goes up between the kidney meridian and spleen meridian, bypasses the genitals, and ends at the edge of the ribs. The "Huangdi Neijing" believes that the liver meridian is on duty from 1 am to 3 am. At this time, the energy and blood of the liver meridian are the most vigorous, and the human body should be in a sleep state at this time.But if you are still socializing and having fun at this time, it will hurt your liver very much.If this is often the case, it will cause liver meridian disorders and lead to insomnia.

The most direct way to regulate the Liver Meridian is massage, but it is impossible to get up in the middle of the night to massage, so it is recommended to massage the Pericardium Meridian between 19:21 and 2:200 in the evening. The liver meridian can also be adjusted by massaging it.Neiguan point is the most commonly used point on the pericardial meridian. It is located on the palm side of the forearm, on the connecting line between Quze and Daling, [-] inches above the transverse crease of the wrist, between the palmar longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon.You can tap it [-] times each time to achieve the effect of helping people sleep.

Three magic weapons to regulate sleep

Foot massage at the same time: Massage the sleeping point for 5 minutes before going to bed, which can guide you to fall asleep quickly.An Mian point is located in the depression behind the mastoid behind the ear, which has the effect of sleeping and calming.

In addition, soaking your feet in warm water before going to bed can give you a lazy feeling. The fatigue of the day makes you feel powerless, and you can quickly get rid of fatigue by soaking your feet.It is worth noting that when the water temperature starts to cool down, you must continue to add hot water in time, soak until the body is slightly sweating before going to bed and rest.Both massage and foot bath can better improve sleep.

Conscious relaxation method: After lying on the bed, don’t think about what happened during the day, and don’t have to think about what you need to do tomorrow, just consciously focus your thoughts on the parts that need to be relaxed, first the eyebrows, then the shoulders, chest, and upper limbs , and finally the lower limbs and feet.While concentrating, take deep breaths, once, twice, three times...until you fall asleep.However, under normal circumstances, after repeating it 3 to 5 times, you will fall asleep.

Drug therapy is put last: Estazolam is commonly used in outpatient treatment of insomnia, take 1 tablet every night before going to bed; or take Tianmeng Capsules, which is a Chinese patent medicine, which is safe and has rare adverse reactions.But it is best not to use drugs, because many people will have drug dependence, and a few people will have adverse reactions such as dizziness, dizziness, and headache the next day.

lifestyle therapy insomnia
Head north and feet south when sleeping: The human body is affected by the earth's magnetic field all the time.During sleep, brain waves are also disturbed by magnetic fields.When sleeping, take the posture of head north and feet south, so that the magnetic field lines can pass through the human body in parallel, and the interference of the magnetic field on the human body can be minimized.

Sleeping on the right side: "Lie down like a bow", keeping the sleeping position on the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart by weight, let the heart beat freely and easily, and the Qi and blood can run smoothly. Blood can run to the brain, bringing it a lot of nutrients, and providing a guarantee for a sweet sleep.

Don't be sleepy, be a sober beauty

Some people struggle with insomnia, while others struggle with wanting to sleep all the time.Some female friends struggled to get up in the morning and arrived at the unit in a daze, still looking sleepy, and the colleagues around them would always make jokes. "Why do you keep sleeping and not waking up?" In fact, this state of not being able to wake up all the time is lethargy. "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine"

It is said that "when the yang energy is exhausted, you will lie down", which shows that lethargy is closely related to the decline of yang and the excess of yin. This is mainly the relationship between yang being active and yin being quiet.

Elderly people like to doze off, this is exactly the "Yang Qi is exhausted, then lie down"

evidence.As the age gets older, the yang qi is getting weaker and weaker, making the yin qi relatively strong, so people who are over 60 generally like to sleep. The "Huangdi Neijing" has "60 years old, the heart qi begins to decline, joy and sorrow Sadness, blood and energy are lazy, so it is easy to lie down." The "heart qi" here mainly refers to the yang qi of the heart.In addition to age, there are many other factors that can cause a woman's yang energy to decline and yin energy to gradually increase.

For office workers, the time to feel sleepy is usually in the afternoon, especially between 2pm and 4pm.During these two hours, people will feel extremely tired and dull, and the brain is like a rusty gear that can no longer turn fast.Moreover, women are more prone to sleepiness than men, mainly because women's constitution is Yin. Compared with men, women's yang energy is weaker, and yin energy itself is stronger.
