Can Feng You Jing treat insomnia?
Disease description:
Recently, I have been overthinking constantly and experiencing severe insomnia, staying awake the entire night. However, after applying camphor oil (wind oil), I am able to achieve light sleep. May I ask, can camphor oil (wind oil) treat insomnia?

Feng You Jing (Wind Oil) has not been clinically proven to effectively treat insomnia. Some people believe that the cooling and refreshing effects of Feng You Jing may help alleviate insomnia; however, its main ingredients, such as menthol and camphor, actually have stimulating effects that could potentially worsen insomnia symptoms. Furthermore, Feng You Jing is primarily used for relieving symptoms such as headache and dizziness caused by insect bites or the common cold, rather than for treating insomnia. For individuals suffering from insomnia, it is recommended to adopt other more scientific and effective methods to improve sleep quality, such as adjusting the sleep environment, establishing good sleep habits, and engaging in appropriate physical activity. If insomnia symptoms persist or are severe, prompt medical attention is advised to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
