Do you suffer from sleep disorders? Are you looking for an insomnia Remedy? There is a Chinese herbal formula named Huang Lian E Jiao Tang (黄连阿胶汤), which may help treat your problem. This formula has been used in China for over two thousand years.

Insomnia is defined as sleeping difficulties. Almost everyone has sleeplessness from time to time. If this happens so often, and you cannot sleep almost every night, then it indicates that there is something wrong with your health.

While mainstream doctors have no effective treatment for insomnia except to tell you to take sleep pills or eat more vegetables, natural remedies and traditional medicine may make things different.

According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Yin (fluid, blood) deficiency and excessive heat in heart can cause insomnia, irritability and mental disorders, such as restlessness, sleeplessness, frequent dream, forgetfulness, anxiety, neurasthenia, heat sensation in the chest, etc. The patient often has red tongue with dry yellow coat, and thin rapid pulse.

To treat these symptoms, TCM uses Huang Lian E Jiao Tang to clear heart fire, nourish blood and calm spirit.
