30-Day Program for Recovering from Insomnia with Traditional Chinese Medicine
Why Insomnia? A Chinese Perspective
In Chinese medicine, insomnia is not a single disease but a message from a specific organ: a burdened heart, a burning liver, a weak spleen, or unstable kidneys. That is why treating insomnia begins with knowing "which organ's insomnia" you have.
The Four Types of Insomnia
| Type | Sign | Organ |
| ------ | --------- | ------ |
| Difficulty falling asleep | Racing thoughts | Liver (heat/anger) |
| Waking with palpitations | Heart racing upon waking | Heart (blood deficiency) |
| Shallow sleep and tossing | Heavy meal or bloating | Spleen (dampness) |
| Constant waking at dawn | Anxiety and fear | Kidneys (fear) |
