ABOUT

I am a classical Chinese herbalist and integrative sleep medicine specialist with 20 years of dedicated practice in treating sleep disorders through traditional Chinese medicine. My academic foundation includes a PhD from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, where my doctoral research focused on the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying classical herbal formulas for insomnia. I am a licensed TCM physician in China and have built my career at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern sleep science, developing refined herbal protocols that address the root patterns of sleep disturbance rather than merely suppressing symptoms. My clinical focus is the regulation of sleep-wake cycles through carefully composed herbal formulas tailored to each patient's constitutional pattern. In TCM understanding, insomnia is not a single disease but a manifestation of various underlying imbalances—heart-kidney disharmony, liver qi stagnation, spleen deficiency with phlegm, or yin deficiency with heat. I conduct thorough pattern differentiation through pulse diagnosis, tongue observation, and detailed inquiry to identify the precise mechanism driving each patient's sleep disruption. My formulas draw from classical texts including the Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue, modified with modern pharmacological understanding of herb-drug interactions and bioavailability. I am particularly passionate about helping patients who wish to reduce or discontinue long-term sedative-hypnotic medications through gradual herbal support. Many of my patients come to me after years of sleeping pill dependence, and I work collaboratively with their physicians to create safe tapering protocols supported by herbal formulas that restore natural sleep architecture. Through Rebirthealth, I offer personalized consultations for insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, sleep-related anxiety, and other sleep disturbances, providing detailed herbal prescriptions and lifestyle guidance rooted in classical Chinese medicine principles.

CASE EVIDENCE

Case · anonymized

I treated a 45-year-old woman with severe insomnia of seven years duration who had become dependent on zolpidem. Through careful pattern differentiation identifying heart-kidney disharmony, I prescribed a modified Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan formula and worked with her physician on a gradual medication taper over four months, ultimately restoring her natural sleep without pharmaceutical support. Verified by Rebirthealth.

Case · anonymized

I consulted with a 38-year-old shift worker suffering from circadian rhythm disorder with an inability to achieve restorative sleep regardless of timing. My assessment revealed liver qi stagnation with yin deficiency, and a tailored formula combining Suan Zao Ren Tang with Xiao Yao San modifications helped regulate his sleep-wake cycle within six weeks. Verified by Rebirthealth.

Case · anonymized

I guided a 55-year-old menopausal woman experiencing severe night sweats and fragmented sleep that had not responded to hormone therapy. My TCM assessment identified yin deficiency with deficiency heat, and a formula based on Liu Wei Di Huang Wan with specific modifications significantly reduced her night sweats and improved her sleep continuity within three weeks. Verified by Rebirthealth.

Case · anonymized

I worked with a 30-year-old man with anxiety-driven insomnia and racing thoughts preventing sleep onset. Pattern differentiation revealed heart fire with spleen qi deficiency, and I prescribed Gui Pi Tang combined with Huang Lian E Jiao Tang elements, which calmed his mind and restored consistent sleep onset within two weeks.

“Dr. Wang helped me get off sleeping pills after eight years of dependence. Her herbal formulas worked gradually but profoundly, and for the first time in nearly a decade I am sleeping naturally through the night.”

“Her understanding of both classical TCM and modern sleep science is remarkable. She explained exactly why my sleep was disrupted in TCM terms and designed a formula that addressed the root cause rather than just knocking me out.”
