Sour jujube kernel is the dried mature seeds of sour jujube, family Rhamnaceae. Sour jujube kernel is listed in the Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica as the top grade, and in the Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases of the Typhoid Fever. According to traditional Chinese medicine, sour jujube kernel is sweet and flat in nature, and enters the heart meridian and liver meridian, which has the effect of nourishing the heart and tranquilizing the mind, astringing sweat and generating fluids, and therefore is a good medicine for nourishing the heart and liver and astringing the heart's qi, and is often used for the treatment of insomnia in the clinic. Modern research shows that sour jujube kernel has a variety of pharmacological activities such as sedation and hypnosis, anticonvulsant, anti-anxiety, anti-arrhythmia, lowering blood lipids, enhance immunity, and the myocardium and cerebral hypoxia, ischemia, and has a protective effect.

There are many causes of insomnia, but in summary, they are environmental factors, behavioral factors, disease factors, mental factors, drug factors, age factors and other aspects. Insomnia caused by environmental factors can be treated by improving one's living environment; improper behavior should be corrected; diseases should be treated actively; drugs should be applied reasonably; and age is an irresistible factor. Some people through the Chinese medicine method of conditioning did not achieve ideal results, because there is no accurate identification and typing, the first thing that comes to mind in case of insomnia is sour jujube nut, which is a kind of misunderstanding. Taking sour jujube kernel is only for liver blood deficiency caused by palpitations, forgetfulness and dreams, body tiredness and dizziness or often accompanied by spontaneous sweating, night sweating patients have a role, and for the real evil and fire, liver Wang insomnia not only does not work, but also will play a counterproductive role. Therefore, different types of insomnia, treatment methods are also different. In Chinese medicine, the treatments for tranquilizing the mind include nourishing and tranquilizing the mind, clearing the mind and tranquilizing the mind, relieving depression and tranquilizing the mind, resolving phlegm and tranquilizing the mind, invigorating the blood and tranquilizing the mind, invigorating the abdomen and tranquilizing the mind, etc. The Zaoren Tranquilizer Oral Liquid (Granules) that we use for the treatment of insomnia belongs to the category of invigorating and tranquilizing the mind only. Therefore, when choosing Chinese medicine to treat insomnia, the type of evidence should be determined before using the right medicine for the symptoms.

Sour Jujube Kernel Soup is from "The Essentials of the Golden Chamber" by Zhang Zhongjing, the sage of medicine.

The original text of Sour Jujube Ren Tang in The Essentials of the Golden Chamber reads: "Sour Jujube Tang is the mainstay in the treatment of deficiency labor and vexation that prevents sleep".

Chinese medicine sour date palm kernel (Ziziphus jujuba-jujuba)

Sour jujube kernel, the dried mature seeds of sour jujube in the family of Rhamnaceae, is sweet and flat in flavor and enters the heart and liver meridians, with the efficacy of nourishing the blood and tonifying the liver, tranquilizing the heart and calming the mind, and can be used clinically for treating affective or neurological disorders.

The Divine Husbandman's Materia Medica says that sour jujube seed has the effect of "tonifying the middle and benefiting the liver, firming the tendons and bones, and helping the yin qi".

Modern pharmacological studies have shown that sour jujube nut is rich in triterpenoids, phenolic acid, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and other chemical components, with sedative-hypnotic, anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, anti-arrhythmic, improve myocardial blood supply, lowering blood pressure, regulating blood lipids, anti-tumor, enhance immunity and other effects.

Without explaining the other flavors in the sour date nut soup, here is the mechanism by which the sour date nut soup helps you sleep.

Sleep-aiding mechanism of sour date nut soup

It has been found that sleep disorders can cause cardiomyocyte apoptosis; while sour jujube nut soup can antagonize cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

A researcher used sour jujube nut soup combined with western medicines to treat insomnia of the liver and blood deficiency type, and found that the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the patients were significantly higher and lower than those of the western medicine-only group, respectively, after treatment.

It is important to know that 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid regulate the important neurotransmitters of sleep and wakefulness.

This suggests that sour jujube nut soup can significantly regulate monoamine neurotransmitter levels and sleep quality in patients with sleep disorders, and enhance clinical efficacy.

Some researchers have also found that sour date nut soup can inhibit glial cell activation and act as a treatment for insomnia.

In conclusion, the mechanisms involved in the treatment of insomnia with sour jujube kernel soup may be related to the involvement of monoamine neurotransmitter activity, inhibition of glial cell activation, and activation of glutamate receptor expression in the cerebral cortex.

However, we have to know that the composition of Chinese herbal tonics is complex, to completely figure out its sleep-aiding mechanism, more in-depth research is needed, this answer is just from a few simple aspects, to explain its possible sleep-aiding mechanism.

Hopefully, the above answer, will help you.

Chinese medicine and western medicine is very different, the efficacy of western medicine that is dead, and Chinese medicine to cure disease not only to have the main treatment effect, but also have the sex flavor attributed to the meridian, this sex flavor attributed to the meridian is what does it mean? What does this mean? It is a precision strike, which has a wider meaning than the current targeted drugs. Not in line with its sex flavor attributed to the meridian, that is, there is this disease, but also can not be treated, this is the characteristics of Chinese medicine. This is also the reason why many people have insomnia and eat a lot of sour jujube kernel also have no effect.

Fourth, sour date kernel for insomnia is very much related to its prescription. How do we know that sour jujube kernel can treat insomnia? It is because it is in the sour jujube kernel soup, we get its efficacy in treating insomnia. Sour Jujube Ren Tang is from the chapter on deficiency and labor in The Essentials of the Golden Chamber and is composed of five herbs: sour jujube ren, Zhimu, Poria, Chuanxiong, and licorice. In this formula, all the herbs work together, and after decoction, they can treat insomnia caused by insufficient heart and blood. However, without this formula, the effect is not so much, and is greatly off course.

If you want to eat like Western medicine, sorry, you think wrong, the effect is not obvious.
