In that linked site, if you go to the bottom of the insomnia search, you get.........
>Experiential Prescription
>A. Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (60 g) and brown >sugar; prepared as decoction over low fire; one >dose every night.
>B. Semen Ziziphi Spinosae (30 g, fried), Fructus >Schisandrae (6 g) and Caulis Polygoni Multiflori >(15 g); prepared as decoction; taken daily in two >divided doses; applicable to cases of insomnia >due to blood deficiency.
>C. Poria (15 g) prepared as decoction and mixed >with one fresh egg yolk; taken orally before bedtime; applicable to the cases of insomnia with >asthenia-syndrome.
I'd give B a go. Lots of zizyphus. I've been interested in blood tonics.....I've wondered if they were right for me.
When I was in Vietnam I bought polygonum in the market..........I wondered if it made insomnia worse, but that was so chronic it was impossible to be sure.
