I heard my friends say that they often wake up at two or three o'clock in the morning and find it difficult to fall asleep, and during the day, they are all mixed up and can't get up the energy. Poor sleep quality seems to have become a common problem in today's society, I myself have similar situations, this time I will not choose sleeping pills to treat, more willing to turn to traditional Chinese medicine for help, choose medicine and food ingredients, such as lily of the valley.

Lily is a set of famous flowers, food, good medicine in one of the ingredients, edible lily of the road producing areas in Lanzhou, a large, sweet taste, especially in the summer and green beans with cooking can be clear heat to prevent heat, moist lungs and nourishing Yin. As a medicinal herb, the lily itself can clear the mind and tranquilize the spirit, daily porridge, into the dish can be in addition,. There are also some medicinal herbs with the same as the lily of the valley have the same effect of nourishing the heart and mind, introduced to you:

(1) Sour date kernel.

It is the mature seed of sour jujube, also called sour jujube kernel, which is flat in nature, sweet and sour in flavor, and has the effect of nourishing the heart and benefiting the liver, and tranquilizing the mind and astringing sweat. In the Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica, sour jujube is classified as a superior product, which "can be taken for a long time to secure the five viscera and prolong the life of the body", but because it is too acidic, the kernel is taken exclusively for medicinal use. Sour jujube kernel can be directly powdered and eaten, can also be boiled with jujube tea.

(2) Fargo.

Compared with lily and jujube nut, Yuan Zhi seems to be less famous, but it is not known that it was a star herb in ancient times, and it was popular to take Yuan Zhi in Jin and Tang Dynasties, and even before Song Dynasty, people had the habit of wearing Yuan Zhi. The Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica describes farzhi as "beneficial to the nine orifices, beneficial to the intellect, clever to the ears and eyes, not forgetting, and strengthening the intellect and doubling the strength." On a daily basis, it can be combined with danshen and lingzhi to decoct water to drink as tea.

(3) Lotus seed.

The Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica, recorded in this way, "Lotus root real stems, sweet and flat flavor. The main tonic to nourish the spirit, benefit vitality, remove all diseases. Taken for a long time, light body and old age resistance, not hungry and prolonged life". "Lotus root solid stem" is the lotus seed, its taste sweet, sex flat, into the spleen, kidney, heart meridian, spleen and diuresis effect, suitable for summer climate consumption; and because it can be such as new, kidney meridian, can nourish the heart and tranquilize the mind, insomnia dreamers can be used with jujube nut, Yuan Zhi.

As the old saying goes, heart disease also needs heart medicine, leading to poor sleep is a major factor in overthinking, so no matter what you eat, but also need to regulate the mind first, and then the expensive medicine can not open the locked door of the heart is not it?
