I got sleeping herbs from an acupunturist, but can't read what it is.?
Question:
They are little round pebbles. The other says Chai Hu Mu Li Long Gu Tang. I am supposed to take 4-5 of the pebbles and 2 of the other. I fall asleep fast, but wake up at about 3:00am wide awake.
does anyone know what these are?
Answers:
The herbs you are taking are as follows:
Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan is a combination Drug given for sleep.
It contains regular Gensing plus Zizyphus fruit. The fruit is either boiled and then dried in the sun or baked by the sun until it is dried. It is sometimes called Red Jujube fruit..It has a calming effect on the mind therefore promoting sleep.
The 2nd Combination:Chai Hu Mu Li Long Gu Tang: is Bupleurum root and Dragon Bone mineral, the radix bupleri is a root that looks like sort of a stringy white carrot. It helps with sleep by having a calming effect on the Central Nervous System.
The Dragon Bone is a calcium rich mineral that also promotes sleep. I imagine that the acupunturist thought you needed to be calm and you needed calcium as well. Hope this helps.you may be waking up due to the low dose you are taking. Maybe if you took it later at night it would work better..Don't take more of the herbs because it may not be safe to do so.. Ask the acupuncturist first if he can safely increase your dose..
