Falling Asleep

Falling asleep can be an elusive task. Many people have trouble getting into bed and turning their active day into a restful night.  Even after they count the sheep, tighten the faucet, and yell at the neighbors to quiet down they still have trouble falling asleep. From a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) perspective it could be the stagnation of "Qi*" and "blood*" in the chest. Lets dive a little deeper and see what Happiness Bark Elixir can do to help the situation. 

TCM Theory

Sleep disturbances of this nature are manifestations of the disturbed circulation of qi and "blood*" and tension in the "liver*" and "heart*". Due to "liver*" tension, the qi and "blood*" are unable to freely flow throughout the body, causing exacerbation of physical and emotional pain upon rest or sleep. Stagnation of qi and "blood*" in the chest creates “friction” heat, agitating the hun and leaving the shen with no place to reside. Unsettling of the shen adds to the emotional and spiritual distress. Ling, the yin aspect of the spirit, which is critical in nourishing the mind and intellect, is trapped in the chest, where it becomes agitated. Inability for the mind to quiet, or “shut off” for the evening’s rest. Bound up tension in the "liver*" prohibits the hun from peacefully returning to the "liver*" for the evening.
