I've been trying to treat my father's insomnia for about a year, but since I

live in Oregon and he's in Boston, I've really only been able to make

attempts at branch treatments. I have no idea about his tongue and pulse

and he has no other symptoms. It's more an issue of falling asleep than

staying asleep. He always has a lot on his mind and as he lies in bed

trying to fall asleep, his mind starts rambling.

He recently heard about Ding Xin Wan and asked me if he should take it. I

know nothing about it. Can someone tell me the ingredients and relate any

experiences?

Other things I've sent him, to no avail:

An Mian Wan

Suan Zao Ren Wan

Passionflower tincture

Calms Forte (homeopathic, can't remember ingredients)

I suspect he has some heart fire, yin xu, and also some spleen dampness

(among other things), so I made him a simple formula to take shortly before

bed (raw, powdered):

Hu Po (3 parts)

Suan Zao Ren (3 parts)

Sheng Di (2 parts)

Lian Xin (1 part)

Pei Lan (1 part)

 

I have previously had good luck with the Hu Po + Suan Zao Ren combination,

but no luck this time.

Anyway, I realize this is not the way to do Chinese medicine, but he won't

go see a local practitioner and he just wants a quick fix.

Any ideas?

I assume these are patents and not surprised they did not work

this may be a dosage issue

 

if he takes 1-2 teaspoons, it will often work if good quality like

eclectic or herbpharm or wisewoman, but this is not very cost effective

at about $2.50 per dose

In what dose was this taken and how. I don't think raw herbs are well

absorbed

My teachers used a substantial dose of suan zao ren before bedtime as a

single. I think a good form would be KPC powder and use 2 scoops one

hour before bed at least two hours after the evening meal. This is

potent and convenient and also cost effective at about 40 cents per

dose.
