How can I fall asleep quickly after insomnia massage?

Insomnia is usually nothing if it happens occasionally, but it is abnormal if it lasts for a long time. Frequent insomnia is extremely harmful to the human body, reducing resistance and causing poor mental state. At the same time, the mood will become extremely irritable, affecting a person's normal life. Insomnia can be improved by eating some foods that promote sleep, or by massaging acupoints. How can insomnia massage help you fall asleep quickly? Let's take a look.

1. Neiguan Point

The Neiguan point is located on the palm, 2 inches above the transverse line of the wrist (same as body inch, that is, the width of each person's thumb is 1 inch, the same below), between the palmaris longus tendon and the radial flexor carpi tendon. The Shenmen point is located on the transverse wrist line on the palm side, in the radial depression of the ulnar flexor carpi tendon. Sanyinjiao is located on the inner side of the calf. You can feel the tibia 3 inches above the tip of the medial malleolus. It is just behind the tibia. These three acupoints work together and if you massage them for 5 to 10 minutes a day, they can have a calming effect on the mind.

2. Shenmen Point

LUNA-J1: On the wrist, on the ulnar side of the palmar wrist crease, in the radial depression of the ulnar flexor carpi tendon. When finding the acupoint, you can face your palm upwards. There is a protruding round bone at the upper corner of the hypothenar eminence of your palm. Press upward from the back edge of the round bone and you will feel a large tendon. The intersection of the outer edge of this tendon and the horizontal line on the back of the palm is Shenmen.

The heart controls the spirit and contains the soul. As the name suggests, the Shenmen acupoint is good at treating diseases related to the spirit. Shenmen is the original point of the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin. "If there are diseases of the five internal organs, treat the twelve original points", so Shenmen is used to treat various mental diseases.

3. Baihui Point

On the top of the head, 5 inches above the center of the front hairline. If you look at the human body meridian and acupoint map, you will know that Baihui is the intersection of the three yang meridians of the hand, the three yang meridians of the foot, the Jueyin meridian of the foot, and the Du meridian. The so-called "three yangs and five meetings" is Baihui. Baihui has the effect of raising Yang Qi, refreshing the mind and opening the orifices. It can treat various dizziness and headaches caused by insufficient Qi and blood, excessive liver fire, and invasion of wind evil. In clinical practice, we often use it as the first choice acupoint for treating headaches.

For the treatment of insomnia, moxibustion on Baihui alone can have a good effect. You can do it before going to bed at night. First, separate the hair around the Baihui point to expose the scalp. Then light the moxa stick and place it about 2 cm away from the scalp and gently moxibustion until the scalp feels warm. If it feels a little hot, you can move the moxa stick away a little. Moxibustion for about 15 minutes every night will help you fall asleep. This method is especially effective for women suffering from postpartum insomnia. For those suffering from postpartum insomnia, using this method, moxibustion once a day, generally four or five consecutive days of moxibustion can cure the insomnia problem.
