chinese balm - the Nice Bazaar

Did you struggle with insomnia last night? Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, or waking up in the middle of the night and finding it hard to fall back asleep—these experiences not only leave you feeling mentally exhausted but can also impact your work and quality of life during the day. Let me introduce you to the cooling oil sold by theNiceBazaar. This small item, a staple in every household in China, not only refreshes and repels mosquitoes and relieves itching but also, thanks to its unique cooling sensation and various herbal ingredients, might help you overcome insomnia.

Some small studies and user feedback suggest that cooling oil can effectively alleviate insomnia caused by anxiety, tension, and other emotional factors. Menthol, in particular, has a calming effect on the central nervous system, helping to relax the body and mind, and creating the conditions for deep sleep. Gently apply the oil to acupressure points like the temples, Fengchi points (located on the back of the neck in the hollows between the hairline and mastoid), or the inside of the wrists. These points are considered 'calming points' in traditional Chinese medicine, and stimulating them can accelerate the absorption of the active ingredients in the cooling oil, promoting relaxation.

After applying, gently massage the area with your fingertips, allowing the cooling sensation to fully penetrate while you enjoy the soothing effect from nature. Pair this with deep breathing exercises: with each inhale, imagine fresh air entering your body, carrying away the day's fatigue and worries; with each exhale, let your body relax further, preparing for sleep. Of course, everyone’s body and the causes of insomnia are different, so the effectiveness of cooling oil may vary from person to person. However, it’s worth trying before bed—it might just be the 'sleep aid' you’ve been looking for.

Please note, those with sensitive skin, pregnant women, and infants should avoid using it to prevent allergic reactions or adverse effects.
