Poor sleep is difficult to sleep, drink the American ginseng tablets in water, eight o'clock sleepy, is it a psychological effect or the role of American ginseng?

Poor sleep is difficult to sleep, drink the American ginseng tablets in water, eight o'clock sleepy, is it a psychological effect or the role of American ginseng?

It should be said that both have a role to play.

First, let's take a look at what American ginseng does:

American ginseng canEnhancement of the functioning of the central nervous system.The saponins in American ginseng can effectively enhance the central nervous system, achieve meditation, eliminate fatigue, enhance memory and other effects, which can be applied to insomnia, irritability, memory loss and dementia and other symptoms. Because American ginseng has the ability to enhance the function of central nervous system, it can help insomniacs to achieve the effect of meditation and concentration, so it has the effect of hypnosis.

Second, let's look at the psychological effects again:

Because you are taking American ginseng to help you sleep, this gives you a mental suggestion that you can get a good night's sleep today, which can also increase the effect of hypnosis. In one example, my friend had trouble sleeping, she took sleeping pills every day and could not fall asleep without them. One day, she came to my home to have a small gathering, and then stayed overnight in my home, I said to her: "You do not use Xulabdine, long-term use of sleeping pills is not good for the body, I have my daughter from the United States to bring melatonin, hypnotic effect is good, you try". In fact, the pill I gave to my friend that night was nothing but vitamin B1, but that night, my friend slept very well. So, the psychological effect is still great.

I'm an herbalist.

Before answering your question, let me share a clinical case.

Not long ago, I treated a baby mama with postpartum depression and insomnia in my outpatient clinic. She described herself as physically very tired, with no strength to climb a flight of stairs and shortness of breath. But under such circumstances, she still could not sleep, especially when she had to take care of her child, which was very hard.

I said that the more tired I was, the more I couldn't sleep, and even a little bit of postpartum depression, accompanied by a long period of insomnia, which was very agonizing.

After looking at her tongue and pulse, I judged him to be suffering from a great loss of qi and blood, and then gave him a formula to tonify qi, lift qi and replenish blood to regulate him.

I didn't think of giving him a cure for insomnia, but after taking this qi and blood tonic formula, he came back and said he was surprised and slept very deeply.

I think this situation is similar to yours. That is, there are some insomnia caused by insufficient qi and blood can be treated by replenishing qi and nourishing blood after insomnia or sleep quality greatly improved.

Let's take a look at American ginseng, American ginseng, which is a very useful herb for tonifying qi and nourishing yin.

American ginseng is slightly cooler, so if there is a deficiency of qi and yin, American ginseng is very suitable. If someone has insomnia due to Qi and Yin deficiency, then the quality of sleep will definitely improve after using oxygen absorbing sound.

Therefore, the principle of Chinese medicine modulation is this way, it does not mean that American ginseng has the effect of helping sleep and tranquilize the mind, and it does not mean that all insomnia can be regulated with American ginseng.

The subject said that poor sleep is difficult to fall asleep, drink American ginseng tablets in water, eight o'clock on the sleepy, is American ginseng has a certain role, but single drink American ginseng want to completely improve sleep or not enough, I hope to be able to help you. Remember to pay attention to me yo~

Does American ginseng help with sleep or not? As a registered dietitian, Malt can tell you for sure that American ginseng is helpful for sleep, but the extent of the effect will have a great deal of personal variability. The situation described by the subject, American ginseng or psychological suggestion effect, theoretically possible, in practice may also have nothing to do with both.

Why does Malt say so? Next malt will be from the registered dietitian's professional point of view, to tell you, American ginseng why, it is helpful for sleep, malt will try to say as simple as possible, easy to understand, American ginseng use is actually very much, you will also be sure to gain after reading.

[Role of American ginseng]

See someone answered, the sleep-aiding effect of American ginseng, because of its effect on the central nervous system, on the contrary, American ginseng has the role of excitation of the central nervous system, malt family husband is often used to anti-fatigue, and it anti-fatigue effect, usually more obvious than the effect of the sleep-aiding effect.

So the question is, how can it help you sleep when it's obviously a pick-me-up?

1. The star ingredient in American ginseng - ginsenosides

Let me share with you a little bit of knowledge about American ginseng and ginseng first, and also make it easier for you to understand better, as explained after the malt:

One of the most valuable components in American ginseng:ginsenosides, it is not a component, it should be said that they are a group of substances, a study on American ginseng and ginseng to do the determination of the composition of the ginseng, respectively, in their different parts, found 43 kinds, 50 kinds of ginsenosides, it can be said that the different ginsenosides, in the function of the different ginseng saponins, are all different. Therefore, we usually use American ginseng or ginseng, the location is different, the effect may be different.

The most famous of these are probably Rh2 and Rg3, as they, one inhibits cancer cell metastasis and the other is able to, inhibit the rate of cancer cell proliferation.

2. Anti-inflammatory properties of ginsenosides

In addition to anti-cancer, American ginseng on blood lipids, blood pressure, blood sugar, have a certain role in regulating, malt, it can actually have these effects, but also thanks to the ginsenosides good antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, because of the body's inflammatory response, said it is the "source of all diseases", is really worthy of the name.

Inflammatory responses in adipose tissue, liver, can cause, in the long run, problems with lipid and blood sugar regulation, inflammation of kidneys, blood vessels, etc., can cause high blood pressure ...... Inflammation can occur in any of our organs, and beta-islet cells that are affected by inflammation are likely to produce less insulin, if not no insulin at all!. So you see, is it not understandable that whether there is a problem with lipids, blood sugar or blood pressure, American ginseng may help in some way.

In the same way, inflammation occurs in nerve cells, and when we don't get enough sleep, or when we don't get good quality sleep, the nerve cells don't get repaired in a timely manner, and oxidative stress occurs thatNeuroinflammation occurs and manifests itself in symptoms, the most obvious of which is - anxiety

So, yes.The anti-neuritis effect of American ginseng is part of its ability to help with sleep. And that's just one of them, it also has a favorite effect of malt, which is on the gut flora, and it might even have to be the other way around, that the reason it's a relatively effective anti-inflammatory is likely related to the fact that it has a modulating effect on the gut flora.

3. Ginsenosides and intestinal flora

Rb1, in different ginsengs, is the predominant ginsenoside component, which the intestinal flora is able to convert into a metabolite called compound K. It has been found thatCompound K, even at very low concentrations, has a strong anti-inflammatory effectSo this may be, American ginseng, ginseng is really the root cause of the cattle, of course, according to the current research, we understand the secrets of the body metabolism, but only the tip of the iceberg, so no one can not come to this conclusion.

You should also know that American ginseng and ginseng have immune-boosting properties, but you may not know thatThe strongest immune organ in our body should be the gut and the flora, interacting in this strategic allianceOur intestinal tract is the place where inflammation most often occurs (it always becomes a battlefield), so the role of American ginseng in the anti-inflammatory aspect of the intestinal tract is definitely more than just aPrevention of Colorectal CancerSo simple.

Back to sleep, you may have heard ofbrain-gut axis (in the brain and intestines), the gut actually has a much bigger impact on the brain than we realize, and circadian rhythmic disorders of the flora can cause sleep disruption as well.And whether it's the regulating effect of American ginseng on the intestinal flora or the direct anti-neuroinflammatory effect, it's clear that it's helpful for sleep, to a certain extent

go so far as tohow well it's workingSure.varying from person person (idiom); different for each individualIt is very powerful, some people are very sensitive to American ginseng, it does not need much dosage, in the morning drink American ginseng tablets infused with water is very energetic, and then in the afternoon a cup of water, and can improve work efficiency, and in the evening also better sleep; but there are people, may be because of the lack of intestinal bacteria able to metabolize the Rb1, etc., and naturally, may not have much effect.

Malt comes in for a little summary

Ginsenosides in American ginseng can produce anti-inflammatory substances through the metabolism of intestinal flora, thus reducing the level of inflammation in our intestines and even in the whole body, so American ginseng is not only able to improve immunity, but also able to regulate blood lipids, blood pressure, blood sugar, and to a certain extent can help with sleep, and more and more researches have been carried out on the role of American ginseng in the fight against cancer!

[Malt talking]

The questioner says that he sleeps poorly and has difficulty falling asleep, describing what should be a relatively long-term state, indicating that there is likely to be a chronic sleep disorder, which, in fact, occurs from time to time, and occasional sleep compensation, that is, several days of poor sleep, and then suddenly one day is sleepy, and it may happen that the question describes the same thing, that it appears that one is sleepy up to 8 o'clock, and then falls asleep very quickly, that is to say, if it is this kind of situation, it can happen even if you don't drink cephalexin and you don't do anything.

Of course, do not often take American ginseng people, occasional use, their own flora of its high sensitivity, the emergence of this obvious regulation, is also very likely; as for the role of psychological suggestion, to be honest, malt in the actual work, often see because of bad psychological suggestion, serious impact on the sleep of the situation, but basically did not come across, you can rely on their own positive psychological suggestion, to improve the sleep of the people who presumably have such a Powerful psychological adjustment ability, sleep problems are not dragged to a more serious degree.

[Malt's Warm Tips]

American ginseng excites the central nervous system and can fight fatigue, so for those who wish to use it to help them sleep, be aware thatDon't use American ginseng at night, you'll probably not be able to sleep insteadTaken during the day, both in the daytime refreshing, but also in the night to help sleep, you usually use the right

May you all, sleep like a baby every night!


It is not easy to code, if the answer is useful to you, don't forget to forward, collect and comment Oh, your encouragement, is the power of malt adhere to the health science. I am malt, a registered dietitian focusing on intestines, sleep, metabolism, attention @ registered dietitian malt, get more intestinal problems solutions.

Both have, although American ginseng has mediation nerve sleep function, but according to the person, mainly the role of the heart. Than after all Xiyangcai parameter health care ingredients, try to drink less. Change lifestyle habits, strengthen physical exercise to change their sleep, is the best way.

It could be the effect of American ginseng. There is a formula for Jade Spirit Cream, which uses American ginseng, and many people have feedback that they sleep better after taking it. Poor sleep is mostly related to the heart, insufficient heart blood, insufficient heart qi, heart-kidney disorders and so on. American ginseng itself is a very good herb to nourish the heart and spirit, so it is still considered to be the role of American ginseng.

While the qualities of American ginseng that help you sleep are there, the psychological factor is also present, and it is the merging of the two that will give you that long overdue sense of fulfillment in your sleep.

5, emotional factors: emotional loss of control can be caused by the change of state of mind, this change will be especially in the emotional instability, it can be caused by certain unexpected events, such as special joy or special sadness, anger, etc. can lead to insomnia. This kind of insomnia caused by unexpected events is only a phenomenon, may be occasional, temporary; and more serious insomnia is the phenomenon of long-term sleep is not good, their mood is persistently in a low state, nervousness, fear, worry, suspicion, anger, hatred, depression, anxiety and so on, not only occupy their sensory organs during the day, but also at night is still unable to stop.

6. Withdrawal reactions of sleeping pills or alcoholics.

The role of American ginseng:

Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng Functions: Tonifying Qi and nourishing Yin, clearing fire and promoting the production of body fluid. Slightly cold in nature. It is used in the treatment of yin deficiency, coughing and spitting, dry mouth and tongue, etc. It is mostly used in tonic medicine and health drinks.

This is the explanation of the benefits of American ginseng for the human body, and we hope that it will solve your doubts.

I'm not a Chinese medicine practitioner or a Western medicine practitioner, but I have been an insomnia sufferer myself, so I can also talk about some personal feelings, no theory is not necessarily right.

I think that if you have poor sleep, you can't rely solely on drinking water with American ginseng tablets every day to get instant results and really solve the problem. First of all, you should find out the general cause of insomnia, and exclude other organic diseases that affect sleep. At the same time, if you need to drink American ginseng, you should also find out whether you have a deficiency of qi and yin, and exclude Yang deficiency, which can be applied.

In this case, if you want to improve your sleep, you can soak a few slices of American ginseng water to drink every day. At the same time for the purpose, it is recommended that you 1. every day during the day to increase the appropriate amount of activity, such as participating in suitable fitness activities; 2. daytime must not sleep 覚, lunch break also insist on not sleeping; 3. dinner as early as possible to eat less eat not eat big fish and meat; 4. night do not do intense activities, do not watch stimulating videos; 5. night around nine o'clock with warm water soaking feet; 6. ten o'clock more regularity to go to bed, self-massage before going to sleep, do not think about things.

In general, the use of the upper cissus and these or useful for improving sleep.

Hello friend. This is Counselor Old Friends Handbook and I'm happy to answer your question friend.


American ginseng is present to enhance the function of the central nervous system, so it is beneficial to adjust insomnia, relieve fatigue and improve memory.

There is no doubt that American ginseng has certain effects. However, taking into account the reality that many friends and American ginseng still have insomnia, we can only say that it has a role to play, but not necessarily for everyone.

At the same time, an individual's physical condition, other factors in life, dietary habits, and the length of time one has been drinking American ginseng can also affect the actual efficacy.

To be clear: health supplements are, and always have been, just that: health supplements.


The psychological factor is bound to be there with or without Western ginseng.

For example, we may be afraid of insomnia and sleep because we have been insomniacs for so long, and we may even believe that we are bound to not be able to sleep. Then under the influence of such cognition and emotion, when we need to sleep, we will be in a state of tension and defense. At this time we lie in bed, constantly asking ourselves to fall asleep, constantly observing whether they fall asleep, the spirit is particularly excited, then how to sleep.

This is insomnia brought on by psychological factors.

And when you, my friend, mention that you "fell asleep", it could indeed be psychological. It is called the "placebo effect". That is, someone told me "I can fall asleep", I took the medicine that everyone else said was good, I used the method that everyone else said was good, my inner worry is gone, the worry is gone, the nervousness, the confusion, the anxiety is reduced, and there is a high probability of falling asleep at this time.


But let's stretch a little here.

The placebo effect exists and is useful. But relying on the placebo effect to solve problems is not advisable.

The reason is that when insomnia occurs continuously on a certain day, he will easily fall into "psychogenic insomnia" again.

So, no matter what the factor is, if there is prolonged insomnia, it is still important to have some communication with the professionals involved to see what the problem really is.


Thank you my friend for reading. I hope that my response will assist you my friend in seeing the world as it really is. Good luck.

It's both the psychological effect and the effect of the American ginseng, it's the sensible effect of both that makes you sleepy at eight o'clock.

American ginseng, also known as American ginseng, has the effect of clearing heat and promoting the production of body fluid, tonifying qi and nourishing yin; there are many ways to use it, it can be powdered and taken, it can be brewed as a tea, it can also be brewed to drink wine, and it can be boiled and used in soups; American ginseng belongs to the more precious Chinese medicinal materials, so it is necessary to pay attention to the dosage, and it is a medicine that is three times poisonous, so it should not be used indiscriminately without any limit.

Poor sleep is difficult to fall asleep, may be more things in mind, resulting in blood attack, resulting in impatience, the need for quiet concentration, let yourself relax, or the more you can't sleep, the more impatient, and then the more difficult to fall asleep, into a vicious circle. At this time, if you do not have a good ability to regulate the mind, you need to use a little external force, drink a little American ginseng tea is a better way.

American ginseng contains saponins, he can enhance the central nervous system, and thus play a meditative and tranquilizing effect, which in turn can reduce your impatience and restlessness of the mind, and will help you sleep.

In fact, when I have insomnia and have difficulty falling asleep, I am mostly self-psychologically adjusted, unless I can't be adjusted, then I will resort to external forces. I will first play lullabies, to create an environment conducive to sleep, and then the brain began to fantasize, fantasize about the good things that will happen tomorrow, such as tomorrow on the way to work without traffic jams, smooth to the company; lunch, called the long-awaited takeout; the company's leadership suddenly told himself that he had done a good job last month, and is ready to be promoted and increased salary; on the way to the famous director, let himself go to shoot and so on. I fell asleep thinking about it. It's very spiritual.

I think the problem of sleep, the most important thing is their own psychological role, when you will not adjust the mind, panic when things go wrong, the character of impatience, then it is difficult to have a good night's sleep, even if you drink American ginseng and other such herbs to help you sleep, but also very difficult to have a role, only your own deep breathing, you can let yourself calm down, and then as long as you add a little help from the outside world, it will be easy to fall asleep. For example, monks meditate and practice, sitting can also fall asleep, is the inner purity, there are no distractions, only to reach the realm of nowhere can not sleep.

So I think, a large part of their own psychological effects, you feel that drinking this American ginseng, you can help sleep, then you drink subconsciously keep telling yourself, I drink, surely you can sleep well, self-suggestion for a long time, the heart is calm, naturally fall asleep.
