First of all, thank you for having me.

Hello, I'm Dr. Chung-kook, the barefoot doctor.

Regarding insomnia, there's temporary insomnia and chronic insomnia, temporary insomnia is mainly due to stress or emotional stimulation, this is not our discussion, we're only talking about chronic insomnia.

Chinese medicine says that when yang energy enters yin energy, you sleep, meaning that when yang energy enters yin energy, you fall asleep, but on the other hand, you're always refreshed, and it's hard to fall asleep.

The heart is the master of fire, the kidneys are the master of water. Kidney water has to go up to the heart so that the heart won't be over-excited, and the heart has to go down to warm the kidneys so that the kidneys won't be cold. Whether it's the rise of kidney water or the fall of the heart's fire, the spleen and stomach have to be activated. Normally, the spleen rises and the kidney water rises up to support the heart, and the stomach qi falls, and the heart has to go down to warm the kidneys, but if the spleen and kidneys are deficient in yang, the kidney water can't go up to support the heart, and the heart will be over-excited. At night, the heart fire is too high and can't enter the yin, thus causing insomnia, dreams, irritability and other symptoms, as well as other reasons.

Insomnia is mostly a sign of deterioration of the body, insist on running every day, strong body can be relieved.

Couldn't sleep even if I wanted to.
