Some time ago, a friend came to me with insomnia, saying that my child had graduated from a prestigious university, but he couldn't find a suitable job. He's in a hurry, so he doesn't eat well or sleep well these days. The main manifestation is dry mouth and bitter mouth, waking up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, unable to sleep after waking up, upset and irritable.
I responded that it should be dealt with with the usual decoction plus minus. What kind of formula is this? Come on, I'll tell you another real case, and you'll understand after reading it.
There was a boy before, also in his early 20s. This person was hit hard because of the failure of the college entrance examination. Although his family tried every possible persuasion, he pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was depressed.
Later, he began to become increasingly short-tempered and impulsive. The family thinks that this is not going to be admitted to the university, and if you can be tolerant and understanding, try to understand. But later, his situation became more and more incomprehensible, and he often got up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, walked around the room, and threw things at every turn.
When asked by his family, he said that he couldn't sleep, and the more he lay down, the more troublesome he became, and his chest was still suffocating. For a long time, the family felt that it was not possible and that they had to see a doctor, so they sought Chinese medicine**.
At the moment, the patient's pulse was like a string and the number of strings was weak, the tongue was red and less lichen, the face was thin, and the cheeks were red. The patient reported that he usually sleeps with many dreams and a short sleep time, often waking up at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night and unable to fall back asleep. At the same time, I also feel bitter mouth, chest tightness, irritability, dizziness, and poor memory. It was so uncomfortable in the middle of the night that he had to get up and walk around. But the more I moved, the more troubled I became.
After learning about this, the book side of the poem. But see - raw land, northern sand ginseng, wheat winter, angelica, wolfberry, acacia flower, neem seed, jujube kernel, water decoction.
The result? After taking 6 doses, the patient's sleep began to become more stable, and he did not wake up at three or four o'clock in the morning, and could continue to sleep for about 6 hours.
Emotionally, he is more stable and not as impatient as before. At this time, 6 more doses will be given, and it will continue to improve, and after a little addition or subtraction, another 10 doses will be given. Eventually, the patient's evidence subsided. This is the basic process of the medical case.
In fact, the situation of this patient basically represents a considerable group of patients with sleep disorders. This is liver stagnation and heat, and liver yin is damaged.
You see, this patient's initial problem was that he failed the college entrance examination and was depressed all day long. This kind of emotional problem, we often consider liver depression. When the liver is depressed for a long time, it will turn into heat. If the liver is depressed and heated, his yin and jin will be easily damaged.
Therefore, in the end, you will see that he is upset and irritable, his tongue is red and moss, his mouth is bitter and his mouth is dry, and his pulse is hot, and his liver yin is damaged. If the liver qi is not smooth, the heart and chest qi will not be smooth, so the patient has chest tightness and a stringy pulse. The qi of the liver and gallbladder is reversed, so the patient's mouth is bitter. If the liver is stagnant and the liver yin is damaged, the liver cannot hide the soul. As a result, patients suffer from insomnia, early awakenings, and dreaming.
What to do at this time? Of course, it is a targeted solution: relieve liver depression, and then nourish the liver yin and liver blood. In this way, the liver soul can be collected, and the patient can sleep well.
This compatibility of mine is very simple, it is always fried with flavor, and only one acacia flower is added. Always frying, it is a recipe that we are all familiar with.
What can it do? It is to nourish yin and soothe the liver. ** is liver and kidney yin deficiency, blood irritability and depression. Among them, the raw land is Jun, nourishing the yin of the liver and kidneys. Others, such as northern sand ginseng, wheat winter, angelica, and wolfberry, are all used to help nourish the yin of the liver and kidney.
For example, angelica, tonifying liver and blood. Goji berries, tonifying kidney yin. Beisha ginseng nourishes the lungs and yin, and replenishes the water source. Mai Dong nourishes the yin of the heart. If the heart yin is sufficient, and the heart and kidney intersect, the yin of the liver and kidney will not be lost.
On this basis, add neem seeds to soothe liver qi and clear liver heat. Add acacia flowers to assist neem seeds to relieve liver depression. Sour jujube kernel can nourish the blood of the heart and liver, calm the nerves and help sleep.
Therefore, this is a simple flavored application of consistent decoction, which cures the patient's sleep disorder.
Things in life that can make people anxious, disappointed, depressed, and depressed cannot be prevented. Therefore, there are countless cases like in the medical case where the mood is unsuccessful, the liver is depressed and the heat is turned into heat, and the liver yin is finally consumed. So I hope you can write down my recipe and make good use of it.
