Ziziphus and Sleep
Published May 18, 2022
What is Ziziphus?
Ziziphus (Ziziphus spinosa) plant originates from China with a history of over 4000 years. The seed has been used medicinally for more than 1700 years.
Ziziphus spinosa, also known as ‘suan zao ren’ is one of the most common herbs to calm the nerves and reduce restless sleep in traditional Chinese medicine. Ziziphus seed was noted for ‘regulating’ the five Zang organs (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and spleen), and it was found to assist sleep.
Ziziphus and sleep
Nearly all of us have spent at least one night wide awake and willing for sleep to come. For others, it might be more of a nightly struggle.
At the end of the day, it can be difficult to switch off our restless minds and we may need a little assistance. Ziziphus is used in traditional Chinese medicine to calm and soothe nerves, reduce the time to fall asleep and relieve disturbed and restless sleep.
