Always sleeping poorly? Tossing and turning, struggling to fall asleep, dreaming a lot at night, or waking up easily? Many people’s first reaction is "the heart is unsettled," rushing to nourish the heart and calm the spirit with Chinese herbal medicine. But have you ever thought it might be insufficient liver blood holding you back?

There’s an old saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine: "The liver stores blood, and blood houses the ethereal soul." Our mental tranquility entirely relies on the nourishment of liver blood. Just as the ethereal soul needs to "reside" in the blood to be stable, if liver blood is insufficient, the soul has nowhere to settle, naturally becoming restless and agitated. This manifests in sleep as various insomnia issues.

In addition to insomnia, liver blood deficiency can also send signals to your body. Quickly check against these symptoms: Is your complexion sallow, pale, and lacking color? Do you frequently develop spots on your face? Are your emotions fluctuating greatly, either flaring up in anger or holding in resentment? For female friends, do you experience irregular periods or menstrual cramps? Is your hair dry, graying, and prone to falling out? Do you occasionally experience cramps or numbness in your limbs? All of these are signs of insufficient liver blood!

Don't panic! According to different constitutions, we've compiled three types of targeted Chinese patent medicines for you. Choose based on your needs to be effective:

1. Modified Free Wanderer Pill: Suitable for those with insomnia + tendency to get angry easily, distending pain in the flanks, and irregular menstruation. It can both soothe the liver and clear heat, while also strengthening the spleen and nourishing the blood, helping to regulate liver qi, clear away deficiency heat, and replenish liver blood, restoring balance to the body.

2. Dang Gui Shao Yao Di Huang Pill: Suitable for those with insomnia + afternoon fever, night sweats, cramps, dizziness, and tinnitus. Deficiency of the liver and kidneys can lead to insufficient yin blood. This medication can nourish the liver and kidneys, supplement yin blood, addressing the root cause to relieve discomfort.

Gui Pi Wan: Suitable for those with insomnia accompanied by poor appetite, general fatigue, and palpitations. The spleen and stomach are the "factories" of qi and blood; a weak spleen and stomach cannot produce sufficient qi and blood. This formula first regulates the spleen and stomach and then replenishes qi and blood. When liver blood is sufficient, sleep naturally improves.

Final reminder: Adjustments should be made gradually. Try to stay up less often and maintain a calm, cheerful mood. Do you experience any of the discomforts mentioned above? Share your situation in the comments section!
