Answer
Dear Amrit,

My apology for the delayed response.  My internet has been down and unable to log on to attend to all questions.  Each question is very important to me to do my best to provide the appropriate information.

Hmmm...I feel that 7 months may be quite long in managing your sinsomnia without improvement.  My suggestion is perhaps to get a second opinion from an Acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist who can prescribe raw herbs.  In my experience, I've seen patients improve from insomnia ranginge from 3 days to 1 month.
