Dr. He Haochen
Severe insomnia due to kidney deficiency can be treated with oral medications as directed by a physician, such as Zuogui Wan, Gouqi Dihuang Wan, or Liuwei Dihuang Wan. Additionally, medications that help improve blood circulation to the neck and promote sleep—like Ciwujia, Yangxue Anshen Pian—can be taken to regulate sleep patterns. In daily life, it's important to adjust lifestyle habits, maintain a positive attitude toward life, keep an optimistic mindset every day, engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance immunity, and follow a light, low-fat diet.
