How long does it take for Chinese medicine to be effective in treating insomnia?

The more common treatment methods in clinical practice include Western medicine and Chinese medicine conditioning. Compared with Western medicine treatment, the course of Chinese medicine conditioning is longer, so long-term conditioning is required to see obvious results. There are many reasons why people suffer from insomnia. If Western medicine treatment is ineffective, Chinese medicine can also be used to treat insomnia. So how long does it take for Chinese medicine to take effect in treating insomnia?

1. Insomnia is related to autonomic dysfunction or neurasthenia. It usually takes one month to take Chinese herbal medicine. If the current medication is not working, it is recommended to change the medication. Generally speaking, comprehensive measures are needed to treat neurasthenia, including psychotherapy, drug therapy, physical therapy, symptomatic treatment, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. In severe cases, take sedatives and hypnotics.

2. Because Chinese medicine itself is a relatively slow-acting drug and does not have any major side effects on the human body, it is targeted and slow. Therefore, if you use Chinese medicine for treatment, it may take a month for some effects to appear. When taking Chinese medicine for treatment, some patients can see the effect after taking one dose of medicine, but some patients need to take ten or even more doses of Chinese medicine to see the effect. Therefore, the specific situation is different, and the effect of treating insomnia is also different. In order to relieve insomnia symptoms, patients can take Chinese medicine and eat more sleep-promoting foods.

3. For patients with insomnia, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is a better treatment method. This method has fewer side effects and can be taken for a long time without any harm to the body. Generally speaking, if the patient's symptoms are not serious, taking traditional Chinese medicine for about a month can produce obvious results. If the patient has insomnia for a long time, it will take longer to take Chinese medicine for treatment. It is recommended to adjust your mood appropriately in life, do not have any psychological burden, try to go to bed early and get up early, do not stay up late, drink a glass of hot milk before going to bed, soak your feet in hot water, etc., which can promote sleep; lie on the bed and empty yourself as much as possible to fall asleep as soon as possible.
