There’s something about the refreshed feeling upon waking after a good night’s sleep—we have a bright energy and are ready to face the day. However, there’s an increasing number of people who have difficulty sleeping soundly or wake up during the night after having slept just briefly. Both of these situations may be problems caused by autonomic nervous system disorders.

Dr. Chen Junru, director of Jinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, introduced in the “Health 1+1” program how one can regulate the autonomic nerves through acupoint massage, as well as some ancient Chinese medicinal prescriptions and herbal teas that can form part of our daily dietary therapy.
