Even she take hypnotic (OR hypnosis), she can fall asleep when she take 1-2 slices hypnotic (OR hypnosis) at the beginning, but cant fall sleep then even though to take 3-4 slices hypnotic (OR hypnosis). Someone told her to take Wuweizi and meanwhile doing foot massage every day can have better effects. She just did it but can’t get the obvious results. Then she went to hospital to take a physical examination, the results showed that all body functions are normal. She made a sub-health examination later on. It showed that the endocrine is out of the tune, the function of plant nerve is out of tune, the meridian examination result showed the abnormality of the meridian of liver. Ms Zhang went through the Sub-health regulation according to the doctor, took some Suanzaoren and at the same time, insist on doing the let meridian, the taichong point of the liver and gall merdian, the yanglingquanxue of gall merdian and bianjiu massage regulation. 20 days later, her sleep was better than before obviously.

Analysis of this case: Many people are suffering form insomnia now, but the cause is different. The abnormity of heart meridian, liver meridian, spleen meridian and kidney meridian can lead to insomnia. Generally speaking, insomnia connects with the abnormity of heart meridian, but it also can contact with the other meridians abnormities. Because Ms zhang divorced with his husband, angrily hurt her liver lead to qi stagnation, then insomnia symptoms appeared.

Wuweizi can soothe the nerves, calm the mood and treat insomnia because it can adjust the heart meridian, spleen meridian and kidney meridian. Meanwhile Suanzaoren can calm down your nerve.

Chinese medicine treatment is dialectical, not only identifies the disease, but also used for different meridians, that’s why the treatment effect is obvious. Dialectical therapy is the essence of Chinese medicine. Massage of meridian points also same as Chinese medicine prescription which needs to treat dialectically and regulate the correct symptom.

In other words, Chinese Medicine is a dialectical therapy; treatment is not identified with the disease but identified with symptoms. The different meridians disorders or balance maladjustment can lead to same disease and the same meridians disorders or balance maladjustment can lead to different diseases.

The key is we need to find which meridian lead to the problem, then target to regulate the related meridians and points’ pertinence and it will have outstanding effect.

Such as insomnia, if the abnormal of liver meridian leads insomnia, needs to regulate the liver meridian and taichong point in foot which is controlled by liver meridian. Some insomnia is lead by malfunctioning of kidney. This needs to regulate kidney meridian and the yongquan point in foot which is controlled by kidney meridian. Another example is for constipation. Ms Zhang’s insomnia is caused by liver abnormality, therefore it can’t get the obvious effects if only foot massage is done on Yongquan point of kidney.
