The evidence of insomnia can be summarized by two outlines: good and evil. Among them, most of the positive and deficient are blood deficiency and relatively simple, while the evil ones are more complicated.
Although in ancient times, there were targeted treatment methods such as treating wind and cold to disperse, treating heat to cool down, treating phlegm and drinking to warm, treating diet to dissipate, treating water and dampness to divide profits, treating qi reversal to sparse and lower, and treating yin and cold to temperature, but because of this, the syndrome is often combined, and the clinical practice is far from the above type of simple, and it is extremely difficult to accurately grasp. Therefore, in the group of foreign prescriptions, it can be said that there is no one who can be called a special prescription for sleep.
After repeated clinical research, it has been found that only about one-third of insomnia is false, and two-thirds are true. The pathogenesis is as follows: competition anger hurts the liver, liver qi stagnation turns into fire, and liver fire and soil cutting down hurts the spleen and stomach; Competition anxiety, hard work, overeating, and binge drinking all hurt the spleen, and the spleen loses its health and causes dampness and phlegm, and phlegm and dampness can become hot for a long time.
Therefore, phlegm and fire are intertwined, fire and phlegm are depressed, and disturbing the mind is the common pathogenesis of many intractable insomnia. In response to this pathogenesis, I used a set of prescriptions, and after repeated screening, the stereotype was finalizedSanhuang Sleeping Soup
【Sanhuang Sleeping Soup Recipe】
Shengdi 50g, Tianzhu Huang 12g, Turmeric 10g, Fangji 10g, Cinnamon 10g, Zombie Silkworm 10g, Yuanzhi 12g, Banxia 30g, Sorghum 30g, Fushen 10g, Shou Wu Teng 30g, Boiled Licorice 10g, Roasted Jujube Kernel 30g, Parsnip 10g.
The principle is to get rid of its evil in order to get through it. Use Banxia and sorghum (if there is no time to use Yiren Dai) to pass through its congestion to smooth the meridian avenue, use raw land, zombie silkworm, turmeric, Tianzhu Huang and other expectorant fire, use self-defense, cinnamon branches, raw land, boiled licorice, and parsnip (that is, to prevent oneself from Dihuang soup) to calm down (the original prescription is like madness, delusion, etc.), and use Shou Wu vine, jujube kernel, and cocos to nourish the heart and calm the nerves. Together, it has the effect of dispelling evil and curing the root cause at the pathogenesis level, and sedation and sleeping at the symptom level.
When the rehmannia is used, it must be weighed, generally not less than 50g, if constipation and dry mouth are seen, it can be used up to 60 120g. The indications for the use of this prescription are: insomnia, dizziness, upset and bitter mouth, palpitations, chest tightness, irritability, dry stool, red tongue, yellow tongue, pulse or slippery number. It is not necessary to have the above certificate, and those with intractable insomnia and irritability and constipation are greatly suitable.
[Case examples].
Yang, female, 62 years old. Insomnia for 40 years, has a history of 25 years of diazepam.
In the past 40 years, he has sought treatment from dozens of doctors, but to no avail. At first, I could sleep for two or three hours by taking half a tablet a night, but now I can only last three or four hours after taking two tablets a night, and I am in pain.
The patient was emaciated, had a yellow face, and had difficulty sitting still. Feeling of irritability in the heart, dry mouth and bitter mouth, dry stool, palpitations. The veins are thin, the tongue is red, and the moss is thin and yellowish and dry. The diagnosis is a sign of phlegm and fire intertwined, and heat disturbs the mind.

He fell asleep at 11 a.m. on the night of taking the medicine and woke up at 6:10 a.m. I have never felt more comfortable in many years. On the second night, I stopped using diazepam and still fell asleep normally, and my palpitation and fever disappeared. So I stopped relying on Valium for more than 20 years, insisted on taking dozens of doses, and slept well.
