What are the Chinese patent medicines for treating stomach disharmony and restless sleep?

Gastrointestinal health has a great relationship with life, because people with poor gastrointestinal health often have a low quality of life. There are many delicacies that cannot be eaten. Eating them will cause diarrhea and stomach pain, which is very uncomfortable. Of course, there are some ways to adjust and treat gastrointestinal problems. For example, in traditional Chinese medicine, if the stomach is not in harmony, one will not be able to sleep well. So what Chinese patent medicine is more effective?

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "if the stomach is not in harmony, you will not be able to sleep well", which means that if there is a disease in the spleen and stomach, it will lead to poor sleep quality or difficulty falling asleep. This is because the spleen and stomach are responsible for the transportation and transformation of water and grain. If the spleen and stomach are dysfunctional, food stagnation or heat accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract, turbid or hot evil will disturb the mind and cause insomnia.

People who have irregular meals, diet, are too hungry or too full are most likely to suffer from weak spleen and stomach, which leads to nausea, acid reflux, bloating, abdominal distension and other discomforts. If this group of people also have insomnia, they should regulate their spleen and stomach first.

There are several situations for regulating the spleen and stomach: ① Weak spleen, such as pale complexion, weakness in the limbs, and poor spirits, you can use Sijunzi Decoction and Shenling Baizhu Powder; ② Spleen and stomach stagnation, such as abdominal distension and constipation, you can use Baohe Pills and Jianpi Xiaoji Oral Liquid; ③ Insufficient stomach yin, such as dry mouth and loss of appetite, you can use Yiwei Decoction.

In addition, "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" also records a prescription specifically for insomnia caused by spleen and stomach disharmony - Licorice Decoction for Clearing the Heart, which is composed of 12 grams each of roasted licorice and pinellia, 9 grams each of scutellaria, dried ginger, ginseng, and coptis, and 12 jujubes. The roasted licorice, ginseng, and jujube in the prescription replenish qi and tonify deficiency, dried ginger and pinellia promote the flow of qi in the middle burner, preventing damp heat from settling inside, and coptis and scutellaria clear away heat and dampness, preventing the spleen and stomach from being abused by damp heat.
