Insomnia is a major complaint in traditional Chinese medicine clinics. Insomnia
significantly impairs patients’ quality of life and increases the risk of chronic
disease. In addition, insomnia also reduces the patient’s vitality and daytime activity.
This paper is a case report on activating blood and removing blood stasis in women
with insomnia. The patient’s primary symptoms are dreaminess, difficulty falling
asleep, and feeling tired after waking up. The traditional Chinese medicine physician
decided to activate Qi, activate blood and remove blood stasis as the primary
treatment method, supplemented by calming the heart and nerves. After two months
of treatment, patients experienced a significantly shorter time to sleep and increased
daytime activity. In this study, we adopted a different strategy than the standard
treatment and succeeded in alleviating insomnia symptoms.
