Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Huang Shichang
Guipi Wan (Spleen-Nourishing Pill) has a certain therapeutic effect on insomnia, especially insomnia caused by deficiency of both the heart and spleen. Composed of various herbal ingredients such as longan aril, sour jujube seed, and Chinese angelica, Guipi Wan functions to invigorate the spleen, replenish qi, nourish the blood, and calm the mind. It can nourish the heart blood and strengthen the spleen qi, thereby improving symptoms such as insomnia and frequent dreaming. However, Guipi Wan may take longer to take effect and is more effective for patients with mild to moderate insomnia than for those with refractory insomnia. Insomnia may arise from various causes, such as excessive mental stress or other underlying diseases. Therefore, before using Guipi Wan for insomnia treatment, the specific cause of insomnia should be clearly identified, and the medication should be taken under a physician's guidance. Meanwhile, establishing healthy sleep habits and eliminating factors contributing to irregular sleep patterns are also important measures for treating insomnia.
