Zhou Zhongying National Medical Master (1928-)
Zhou Zhongying, the first national medical master, Chief physician and professor of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main causes of insomnia are: heart and kidney deficiency, fire does not return to the original state; heart and spleen deficiency, heart and kidney failure, heart and kidney failure; phlegm and heat disturb the heart, gallbladder and stomach discord, etc. Now, Zhou Zhongying's test case for insomnia treatment is introduced as follows to enjoy colleagues.
● Heart and kidney deficiency, fire does not return to the original
Yuan Moumou, male, 36 years old at the time, first diagnosed on April 30, 2008. I have been complaining of long-term insomnia for nearly 3 to 4 years, I have been sleeping all night, I can sleep for one day, I am dizzy, I only slept for 2 hours after taking sleeping pills, and I am still good at eating and taking forgetfulness, and I am difficult to be competent for work. I have dry mouth and want to drink, my tongue is dark purple, my tongue is yellow, and my pulse is deep and thin.
syndrome differentiation: Insomnia (both the heart and kidney deficiency, fire does not return to the original state).
prescription: 30 grams of cooked jujube seeds, 410 grams of Apricotum html, 410 grams of Chuanxiong html, 15 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza, 4 grams of Coptis chinensis, 410 grams of Pinellia ternata html, 410 grams of Sugar sausage html, 410 grams of Cinnamon html, 42 grams of Poria cocos html, 410 grams of Roasted licorice html, 43 grams of Sichuan lily html, 415 grams of Acorus granulated html, 48 grams of 15 grams of acacia peel, 15 grams of Cinnamon html, 420 grams of calcined oysters.
Visit on May 21, 2008: Insomnia in the patient improved after the medication, and could sleep for 6 to 7 hours, easily wake up, improve his spirit during the day, have good food and appetite, have poor stools, dark tongue, yellow, thin and greasy coating, and thin and smooth pulse. Add night-fried vine 25 grams and 12 grams fried malt above.
Note: This patient complained of insomnia for nearly 3 to 4 years. According to the long-term illness, it will be weak, and long-term illness will cause blood stasis. The tongue is dark and purple, and the pulse is deep and thin. I know that the pathology is stasis and deficiency. The heart hides the spirit and the blood vessels. If the heart is weak, the spirit will not be clear, so the mind will not be clear, so the spirit will be forgotten. " Internal Classic " says: "The kidney controls the bones, and the marrow is produced and connected to the brain." The brain is marrow sea , which is the fat in the bones. The marrow cannot be filled with the brain, so symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, and difficulty in being able to do work. If the fire is on the rise, the moss will become yellow and the mouth will be dry and you will want to drink. The blood vessels are not smooth, the qi is stagnant, blood stasis is caused by purple and dark tongue. Therefore, Mr. Zhou distinguishes it as the heart and kidney deficiency and the fire does not return to the original. He uses cooked jujube seeds to nourish the blood of the heart, calm the heart and stabilize the mind, use the mother to clear the fire and moisturize the lower part of the body, nourish the yin, Chuanxiong and Salvia miltiorrhiza to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, calm the mind, use summer dry grass and acacia skin to promote qi and relieve depression and calm the mind, use calcined dragon bones, calcined oysters, coptis chinensis, and cinnamon to calm the fire, and to restore the fire and return to the original , and also to replenish the kidney qi. to treat summer , poria cocos, roasted licorice to calm the soul and nourish the soul, and tonic Zhongzhou, Sichuan lily and acorus granulum clear the heart and calm the mind, and tonify the mind. After taking the medicine, insomnia will improve and sleep for 6 to 7 hours.

Acorus granulum
● Both heart and spleen are weak, heart and kidney do not intercourse
Liu Moumou, female, 35 years old at the time, first diagnosed on March 3, 2005. If you complain of insomnia for several months, you can sleep for 2 to 3 hours when you feel comfortable and stable, otherwise you will not sleep all night. Accompanying symptoms such as poor skin , fatigue, dry mouth, insufficient drinking, obvious fear of cold on both lower limbs, dark red tongue, light yellow and greasy coating, and thin and stringy pulse.
syndrome differentiation: Insomnia (both heart and spleen deficiency, heart and kidney failure).
prescriptions: 30 grams of cooked jujube seeds, 12 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza, 25 grams of night-fried vinegar, 2.5 grams of Coptis chinensis, 10 grams of Pinellia ternata, 410 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 410 grams of roasted Atractylodes macrocephala, 10 grams of roasted Astragalus, 3 grams of roasted licorice, 10 grams of Poria cocos, 2 grams of cinnamon, 15 grams of Acacia peel, 420 grams of keel bone.

prescription: Add 30 grams of cooked jujube kernel, 6 grams of orange peel, 12 grams of fried malt, and 412 grams of Huaiyen yam above.
Note: patients have insomnia for 3 months and have poor effect on taking calming. According to the symptoms, poor absorption and fatigue, they know that their spleen is weak, and spleen deficiency will cause health and health and loss of power and lifting and lowering. The spleen controls the limbs as the basis of acquired limbs. If the limbs are not filled, the lower limbs are afraid of cold and fatigue. If the health is abnormal, the qi and blood will not be produced. There is no such thing as the spirit of the heart, so the heart is weak. "Su Wen·Linglan Secret Book Chapter 8" says: "The heart is the official of the monarch. The gods come out. If the master is bright, the lower part will be at peace. If the master is unclear, the twelve officials will be in danger. If the master is weak, the fire of the face moves randomly, and the heart and kidneys do not communicate, so they cannot sleep.This case is mainly due to deficiency of the heart and spleen, so the Apricotum, Chuanxiong, and Xia dying grass are removed, and jujube seeds and salvia are used to replenish the heart and blood, so as to calm the mind and calm the mind; use Lu Codonopsis, Poria, roasted Astragalus, roasted Astragalus, and roasted Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, nourish the heart and calm the mind, and take the meaning of Guipi Decoction; use night-to-night interchange vine, coptis chinensis, and cinnamon to communicate with the heart and kidneys, so that the fire is safe; use Hehuan to regulate the qi; use Dharma Xia and stomach qi to promote yin and yang; use dragon bone to restrain the fire of floating Yue to calm the heart and soul, and improve sleep after taking it, and first achieve results. The next diagnosis is law-abiding. Looking at the structure of the formula, we can see that Mr. Zhou used medicines to strengthen the spleen and nourish blood to treat the root cause, and medicines to transport the heart and kidney as supplements. He was a good candidate for medicines to calm the heart and calm the soul and regulating the qi to treat the symptoms and distinguish the main and secondary, so that he could achieve good results.

The patient complained of insomnia for 7 to 8 years, and chronic diarrhea for 43 years, causing anxiety and low potassium. He stayed in the brain hospital for more than 40 days and has been taking medicine for many years. At present, insomnia is still suffering. It is difficult to sleep soundly when taking sleeping pills. He is irritable and excited when encountering things, has a sore stomach, a sound of water, loose stools with oil and fat, red tongue, light yellow and greasy in the middle, and pulse is stringy .

Note: In addition to the main symptoms of insomnia, this patient also has chronic diarrhea for years. It can be seen that the Middle Earth has declined at this time. The "Inner Classic of Internal Medicine" says: "If the stomach is not harmonious, you will be restless." If the earth is weak and healthy, you will feel phlegm and heat oil will naturally arise. If the phlegm and heat disturb the heart, you will feel restless, irritable and excited, your tongue is red, your tongue is yellow and greasy, and your gallbladder and wood are insulted in the weak earth, your stools will be loose and rotten, and your pulse is stringy. The "Daily Classic of Mencius" says: "Worry and thinking are sad," you can know that your emotions are uncomfortable. If you are anxious, the heart will be hurt by the heart. Since the heart fire is damaged and the middle path is blocked, it will not be allowed to interfere with the kidneys. Therefore, this case is treated from the treatment of gallbladder and stomach discontent and heart and kidney failure. Huanglian Wendan Decoction is added and subtracted: use cooked jujube seeds and Sichuan lily to save the injured mind; use tangerine peel, Poria cocos, Faxia, and fried citrus aurantium to regulate qi and stomach, strengthen the spleen and eliminate phlegm; bamboo ru and coptis chinensis clear heat and eliminate phlegm; Xuanhu, Hehuan peel, Xia sausage, Chuanxiong, to relieve liver and gallbladder; dragon bones and oysters to calm the heart and calm the mind; night interfere vines to communicate with the heart and kidneys.
