Herbal Consultation by E-Mail


Cause of Insomnia #1
Excess Heat from Constrained Qi Disturbs the Mind (Heart)

The Spirit resides in the Heart...
When Heat gathers in the chest, the Spirit is uncomfortable.
You feel restless or you have a problem sleeping.

During times of stress or separation, the free-flow of energy is constrained in the chest.
Just as circulation cools, constraint heats.

This insomnia wakes you at night, your mind is active, and you may feel warm.

Try a combination of Free & Easy Pills to help circulate the energy of the chest, together with Good Sleep & Worry Free Pills to nourish and clear heat from the heart. Get plenty of upper body excercise.

Cause of Insomnia #2
Deficiency Heat from Yin Deficiency Disturbs the Mind (Heart)

Common during menopause, this kind of insomnia is also caused by heat.  However, this heat comes from a deficiency of cool (yin) rather than an excess of heat.

Try combining Good Sleep & Worry Free Pills with Two Immortals Pill

Cause of Insomnia #3
Heart Blood Deficiency

This insomnia has a nutritional root. The quality of the blood is poor because the diet is poor or the digestion (Spleen qi) is weak. The poor blood fails to properly nourish the Heart (Mind).

If you have this insomnia, you may have difficulty falling asleep. You may also have fatigue during the day or you may have a digestive complaint as well.

Commonly used medicines for this type include Gui Pi Wan, Suan Zao Ren Tang

Cause of Insomnia #4
Disharmony Between Heart and Kidneys

This insomnia is caused by low batteries (Kidneys) leading to a disturbed Spirit (Shen). It can be marked by symptoms of vivid dreams or nightmares, heart palpitations or anxiety. Medicines used to treat this conditions may contain heavy mineral substances to Anchor the Spirit.

The most frequently used is Tien Wang Pu Hsin Tan. You can also use An Shen Bu Xin Wan or Cerebral Tonic Pills to treat this condition.

Stress Happens     

When under stress, qi (energy) tightens in your chest. This protective reaction is triggered by by events in our life or events in our memory.

Dr. Shen's Free & Easy Pill reduces feelings of stress by helping to release tension in the chest. Based on a 900 year old formula, It uses bupleurum (chai hu) and other natural substances to relieve chest constraint and to promote the free flow of Qi in the chest.

Other ways to release stress in the chest include breathing and yogic techniques, massage, forcefull crying, and upper body excercise. Expressive use of the hands stimulates the channels that nourish the chest, so that activities as varied as gardening, giving massage, swimming the breast stroke, and playing basketball can offer relief.
