Q It's so hard to fall asleep and I don't feel refreshed even after sleeping. Can Korean Medicine help without sleeping pills?
A Sleep problems in office workers often involve both Liver Qi Stagnation and Heart-Spleen Deficiency together. Many cases show improved sleep quality after a Korean Medicine prescription releases the Liver Qi and calms body and mind.
Detailed Answer
Sleeping pills force sleep but do not improve its quality or depth. Sleep disorders in office workers often arise when overwork and stress overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system and cause Liver Qi Stagnation. A Korean Medicine prescription releases tension by moving Liver Qi and adds herbs such as Zizyphi Semen, Polygalae Radix, and Poria with Pine Root that calm the Heart, naturally improving sleep quality.
