Nowadays, insomnia has become a common problem, but most people immediately think about taking Western medicine to control their condition. It can really be said that he does not leave the medicine in his mouth and the medicine in his hand. Once the drug is stopped, insomnia will still recur, which will not solve the problem at all, and long-term use may cause irreversible damage to the body!
Here, Dr. Liu would like to say that Western medicine is not that it cannot be eaten, but that it cannot be taken for a long time, and I do not want to see patients sacrifice their health and longevity for the sake of short-term pain relief.
I know the pain of my patients. If it weren't for illness, who would want to spend a lot of money to get a short healthy sleep?
In fact, we should save the most money and take the best medicine!Instead of giving up when others say that there is no rule of law, don't rush to the doctor when you are sick. In that case, not only was the disease not cured, but the savings that I had saved so hard were also spent, which is really not cost-effective!
Case:
There was a patient who had suffered from insomnia for 20 years, and had been taking es** and dexzopiclone ** for a long time, but there was almost no effect in the back, so she came to me with the psychology that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
Initial diagnosis: difficulty falling asleep, worrying before going to bed, cold hands and feet, cold below the knees, accompanied by hair loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, normal bowel and bowel movements, and white tongue coating, thin pulse.
Prescription:
After learning more about the patient's situation, she was prescribed a prescription for soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, relieving depression and calming the nerves: angelica, white peony, bupleurum, incense, fried atractylodes, poria cocos, curcuma, fried sour jujube kernels, yuanzhi, salvia, cinnamon, raw malt. 
The patient looked at me suspiciously: I have been suffering from insomnia for 20 years, and you will prescribe me such a prescription to regulate the liver and strengthen the spleen?
I smiled and said: The principle of this prescription is very simple, if you think too much before going to bed, have no appetite, and the performance of your tongue and pulse, you can judge that this is a sign of liver depression and spleen deficiency.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stagnation of liver qi and disorders of qi can interfere with the balance of yin and yangThe weakness of the spleen and stomach, especially the dysfunction of the central focus, will also affect the production and circulation of qi and blood. These factors will eventually lead to the imbalance of the rise and fall of yang energy, so that yang does not enter yin, and insomnia will occur.
The liver is the main concern, and the spleen is the main concern, so you think too much before bed. In addition, hair loss is due to the fact that blood deficiency does not nourish the hair;Cold hands and feet and cold below the knees are caused by the blockage of qi and the inability of yang energy to reach the limbsLoss of appetite and feeling weak are signs of spleen deficiency.
For the sake of this disease, the method of addition and subtraction of Xiaoyaosan is used.
My ** thoughts:
Bupleurum can soothe the liver and relieve depression, and reach the liver qi;Angelica sinensis and white peony can nourish the blood and soften the liver, especially the aroma of angelica can be qi, and the sweet taste can be relieved, which is the most important medicine for liver depression and blood deficiencyXiangfu can benefit the three cokes and relieve the six depressions, and help Bupleurum regulate liver depression;Atractylodes macrocephalus and Poria cocos can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, so that the movement has the right and the qi and blood are sourced;Cinnamon can dissipate cold and relieve pain, warm meridians and veins, ** cold hands and feet, cold symptoms below the knees;Yuanzhi and Zaoji can nourish the mind and calm the nerves, and guide the yang energy into the yin;Raw malt can be used to dissipate and protect the stomach;Curcuma can break the blood and flow qi;Salvia can invigorate the tongue and blood and calm the nerves. The whole recipe regulates qi and generates blood, and cooperates with the introduction of yang into yin, so that the qi and blood are smooth, and the yin and yang are harmonious, so as to suffer from insomnia.
The result?
After three courses of **, she came to me and said: Doctor, you are amazing, I took so many sleeping drugs and didn't get better, but I didn't expect to be cured with just a few pairs of Chinese medicine. And sleep has been normal lately, how the hell do you do that?
I said: This is because any disease has its source, as long as we find the right medicine, we can completely lose sleep. If you just take some sleeping pills, you can only control and maintain it all the time, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
Note: The prescription medicine in the text, be sure to consult the advice of a professional doctor, Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, one person and one party, do not blindly use medicine!
