This "handsome" looking thing is actually a panacea for insomnia

When it comes to treating insomnia, Chinese medicine has always had a lot of classic prescriptions, such as the Pinellia and Sorghum Rice Soup recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the Tianwang Buxin Dan in the Curative Effect of All Diseases, and the Baizi Yangxin Pills from the Ti'ren Huibian. These are all classic remedies for treating insomnia. As long as they are used properly, they will naturally cure the disease.

However, nature is magical. There is a Chinese medicine that is a good sleeping pill, especially for insomnia, it can be called a miracle medicine. The appearance of this herb is also very handsome. From a distance, the tree has a beautiful posture and elegant leaves. In midsummer, the tree is full of colorful and fragrant velvet flowers, which can create a soft and comfortable atmosphere. It would be great to use it as a street tree, a garden shade tree, or as an embellishment for greening and gardens.

This tree has a broad crown, and provides quiet green shade in summer. Its pinnate leaves open during the day and close at night, which is quite unique. Especially in summer, the pink velvet flowers are in full bloom and are very beautiful. Whether you look at them from afar or up close, they are a delight to the eyes.

So, what do you call such a wonderful tree? It turns out that the name of this tree is Albizzia julibrissin. What? Albizzia? Ahem, why does this name feel so familiar? Hey, you’ve read too many novels! To get back to the point, the original name of this tree is Albizzia julibrissin. It is called "Hehun" in "Tang Materia Medica", "Yehe" in "Rihuazi Materia Medica", "Mengge" in "Bai Yi Xuan Fang", and it is also called "Ronghua Tree" among the people.

The bark and flowers of the Albizia Julibrissin tree are used as medicine, the young leaves can be eaten, the old leaves can be soaked in water for washing clothes, and the wood can be used to make furniture. It can be said that it has many uses and if used properly, it can be put to good use.

It is also said in "Notes on China's Past and Present": "If you want to eliminate people's anger, give them a green skirt. Green skirt is Albizzia julibrissin." It means that Albizzia julibrissin has the effect of forgetting worries, and without worries you will naturally sleep well. I guess the idiom "sleeping soundly without worries" probably means this.
