Insomnia refers to disorders of organ function, deficiency of qi and blood, or imbalance of yin and yang. In mild cases, it is difficult to fall asleep or to easily wake up after falling asleep. In severe cases, it can cause insomnia all night long, often accompanied by headaches, palpitations and other diseases. When insomnia occurs, it must be treated in time.
