"Lingpuzzlement" said: "You can't enter the Yin, but always stay in the Yang. If you stay in the yang, the yang will be full, but if you don't enter the yin, the yin will be weak, so your eyes will not be sour. " The eyes are not satisfied, although Yunyang does not enter the yin, but Yang does not enter the yin, the heart and spleen are deficient, and the blood does not nourish the heart; Phlegm-fire mutual knot, disturbing the mind; Those with liver and gallbladder fire; Many people don't have hearts and kidneys. Insomnia in this syndrome is caused by deficiency of kidney yin, intense heart fire, surly yin and yang, and disharmony between heart and kidney. Chen Shiduo's Records of Differentiation of Symptoms and Signs says: "Those who can't sleep at night are not satisfied with their hearts and kidneys." It is more common in patients with fever recovery or chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, menopausal endocrine disorders, neurasthenia and so on. It is characterized by insomnia, insomnia, dreaminess, nocturnal emission, impatience, heartburn, flushing on cheeks, tinnitus, headache and dizziness, vexation of the five senses, or bleeding from various orifices, myalgia in the tongue, dry mouth and bitter taste, aversion to cold and thirst, short and red urine, dry stool, dry skin, little red tongue and body fluid, red prickles on the tip of the tongue, or chapped tongue. Clinical differentiation should be based on yin deficiency and pathogenic heat. For example, the symptoms of simple yin deficiency and heat are not strong, and Suanzaoren Decoction and Buxin Dan can both be competent. Huanglian Huangqin tastes bitter and dry, which seems to hurt yin.

The pain of insomnia is hard for healthy people to understand. During the day, they are tired and sleepy. At night, they worry about everything and find it difficult to sleep. People's snoring is mixed with envy, and it is more and more troublesome to listen to the surrounding sounds. When it's hazy, the East turns white. After a long time, the painstaking efforts are exhausted, and even the mind is disordered, such as epilepsy, so it is necessary to seriously adjust the treatment and insist on medication. Yang does not enter Yin, which is not formed in a short time and needs time to recover. Doctors and patients should not change prescriptions because of insomnia, especially those who are dependent on sedative western medicine, and most of them need long-term use to get results. At the same time, you must live in daily life. Sometimes, because I can't sleep, I don't want to read, surf the Internet or watch TV until midnight. I don't know if I will be restless when I am young, which will make the yang more troublesome and beneficial, and it is more difficult to enter the yin and beneficial to insomnia.

Taoism is interested in roots. In the final analysis, it is the anger that goes to dantian and the yang goes back to Tibet. Therefore, breathing exercises can help you fall asleep, that is, sitting cross-legged, sitting quietly and taking deep breaths.

Black-bone chicken is difficult to swallow after mixing with drugs, which has the same effect as taking drugs first and drinking alone.

Medical record of Huanglian Ejiao decoction

1. Insomnia wet dream

Zhang, male, 26 years old. She is strong and full of energy, suffering from many marital problems, and all kinds of worries come together, leading to anxiety and insomnia. At the beginning, Xu Shang could fall asleep by turning it over. It was hard to sleep all night after that. Headache, brain swelling, cicadas in my ears. Taking valium and other sedatives, a small amount will not help, and a large amount will only sleep for two or three hours. Dreaming after sleep, nocturnal emission, long-term treatment, upset is beneficial. Dry mouth and bitter taste, thinking about drinking and thinking about cold. It is regarded as listless, with white eyes covered with red silk, red tongue and insufficient body fluid, especially at the sharp edge, with thin yellow fur. Feel the pulse, the string is thin and counted.

Judging from its pulse condition, this heart and kidney don't care about each other. The sage said that all five ambitions can be turned into fire. Being shrouded in anxiety and qi stagnation for a long time, excessive heart fire, such as scorching sun, causes internal friction of true yin, insufficient kidney water and insufficient water and fire, so insomnia and insomnia will be discharged. Zhang Jingyue said: "Although essence is hidden in the kidney, the master of essence is in the heart." Therefore, when clearing heart fire and nourishing kidney water to help fire and water, the Lord knows God's safety. Huanglian Ejiao Decoction:

Coptidis Rhizoma 6g Scutellariae Radix 10g Colla Corii Asini 10g Radix Paeoniae Alba 15g Wuji 2 tablets are taken in three times.

2. insomnia

Wang, female, 43 years old, from Dongshi Village, engaged in sewing. Because of the integrity of the industry, there are many businesses, eating, drinking and working overtime, which leads to the loss of qi, blood and kidney yin. Over time, overwork has become a disease. 36-year-old amenorrhea, treated with nourishing yin and blood, less menstrual flow. Because I suffered from cold for ten times at a time, I failed to take medicine continuously, and then I closed it again. Recently, due to overwork, I often suffer from insomnia and even stay up all night. Anxiety, burning of five internal organs, soreness of waist and knees, bitter taste and thirst, thirst and excessive drinking, red tongue with little coating and rapid pulse. Zhang Jingyue said: "Those who worry too much will cause blood consumption ... so they don't sleep." There is another cloud: "Sleep is due to yin, and God is dominant. When God is calm, he sleeps; when God is restless, he doesn't sleep. He is uneasy because he is disturbed by evil spirits and is not satisfied with glory. " In this case, the patient is overworked, Yin Ying is deficient, and kidney water can't be delivered to the heart, which leads to exuberant heart fire. The monarch's palace burned and the gods were confused, so he was upset. Treatment should nourish kidney water and clear heart fire. It is suggested that Huanglian Ejiao decoction should be flavored, combined with work and rest, and work and rest should be moderate.
