【清熱養陰酣睡湯】
身體累了本應能好好入睡，但偏偏老是睡不著，就算入睡了卻總是多夢易醒？中醫理論認為體虛人士特別容易出現失眠問題，例如氣虛體質人士因為氣不足，身體感到很累卻難以入眠；陰虛體質人士常感到心煩和心悸不安，不易入睡。受失眠困擾人士宜按症狀調理身體，例如陰虛體質平日宜適量進食滋陰食物，例如雪耳、沙參、百合、石斛、花旗參等，少吃辛辣、煎炸油膩食物。睡前給自己半小時至一小時過渡時間，讓自己靜下來迎接睡眠，休息時可以按摩穴位，幫助紓緩壓力，寧心安神，有助入睡。

Soup to clear heat and nourish yin for better sleep
By right, we should be able to sleep well when we are exhausted, but it is not always the case. Even if we manage to fall asleep, we will tend to dream excessively. According to Chinese Medicine theories, individuals with a weak body would develop insomnia more easily. For instance, weak individuals would feel tired but could not sleep easily due to the lack of qi in the body. People with a yin-deficient body might feel annoyed and experience palpitation and would not be able to sleep well.
Individuals with insomnia should take care of the body according to their respective symptoms. For instance, those with a yin-deficient body should consume ingredients that could nourish the yin. For instance, snow fungus, glehnia root, lily bulb, noble dendrobium, and American ginseng. They should also avoid eating hot, spicy, and deep-fried foods. These individuals should spend thirty minutes to one hour to calm themselves down before sleep by massaging the acupoints to relieve stress and calm the mind. This would improve their sleep quality.
Three de-stress acupoints before sleep
Method: Use your thumb to message each acupoint gently for about 2 – 3 minutes.
Yintang Point
Location: Midway between the medial ends of the eyebrows
Shen Men Point
Location: at the wrist crease, from the pinky finger to the bottom of the palm where it depresses
Taichong Point
Location: on side of top of foot, on your foot about two finger widths above the place where the skin of your big toe and the next toe join.
