Is there a massage pillow for insomnia? Massage acupoints to cure insomnia

In today's society, life is very stressful. Long-term mental stress can easily cause people to suffer from insomnia. Frequent insomnia can lead to fatigue, tiredness, depression, and memory loss. Insomnia can be treated through traditional Chinese medicine massage, and the effect is obvious if the acupoints are found correctly.

1. Anmian Point

Anmian Point is a commonly used extra meridian point located on the back of the neck, at the midpoint of the line connecting Yifeng Point (the depression behind the ear) and Fengchi Point (the depression under the occipital bone). This point can calm the liver and stop wind, soothe the mind and stabilize the spirit, effectively relieve tension and help one fall asleep.

2. Shenmen acupoint

Shenmen acupoint is the original acupoint of the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, and is the place where the original qi of the Heart Meridian stays. It is located on the ulnar side of the palmar wrist crease, on the radial side of the ulnar flexor carpi tendon. This point is the gateway for the entry and exit of heart qi. It can nourish the heart and calm the mind. It is the main acupuncture point for treating insomnia.

3. Sanyinjiao acupoint

Sanyinjiao is an acupuncture point on the spleen meridian of the foot, located 3 inches above the highest point of the medial malleolus (about the width of 4 fingers placed horizontally), at the posterior edge of the inner side of the tibia. This point is the meeting point of the three yin meridians of the foot (liver, spleen, and kidney), so it can regulate the Qi of the liver, spleen, and kidney, and achieve the effects of strengthening the spleen, benefiting the kidney, and nourishing the liver. Essence and blood can be controlled by the spleen, stored in the liver, and nourished by the kidney. The heart Qi is communicated downward, and the mind is at peace.

4. Causes of Insomnia

1. Red meat

Red meat is a nutritional term that refers to meat that appears red before cooking. Specifically, all mammalian meat, such as pork, beef, lamb, venison, rabbit, etc., is red meat.

From a nutritional point of view, red meat is high in fat, especially pork. The fat content in every 100 grams of pork is as high as 30.3 grams. The fat in red meat is mostly saturated fatty acids, which is the main component of fat. Under normal circumstances, it is suitable for the human body to use as an energy source. However, precisely because of its high fat content, eating it before going to bed will easily accumulate a lot of fat in the body and cause obesity, which is very harmful to women's health.

2. Chocolate

Scientists have pointed out that chocolate contains more than 300 known chemical substances, one of the most well-known of which is caffeine. This substance can make people excited. If you eat chocolate before going to bed, it will arouse the body's organs and increase mental excitement. It is difficult for the human body to calm down and stabilize, and it is more difficult to adjust the breathing pattern and enter the best state of sleep. It is easier to get rid of sleepiness and cause insomnia.
