Hello everyone, I am Fan Junming, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Today I will talk to you about the problem of insomnia.
Many people suffer from insomnia because their yang energy has been reduced by half.
What is the nature of sleep?
The smooth handover and inheritance of yin and yang qi according to traditional Chinese medicine.
If there is a problem with one of the two, it will cause abnormal sleep.
How come half of Yang Qi is missing? You can also understand Qi deficiency and blood stasis .
Let me tell you a real medical case.
The patient, Ms. Li, is a 42-year-old female.
Symptoms include:
1. Blood spots appear on the skin.
2. Often irritable and insomnia, even staying up all night.
3. I also have various nightmares and wake up easily.
4. I usually lack energy and talk too much, have a bad memory and feel dizzy.
5, dull complexion, listless, poor appetite for meals.
TCM diagnosis : stringy and astringent pulse, purplish tongue color, thin and white tongue coating.
Based on the above situation, I prescribed a prescription - Bu Yang Huan Wu Decoction .
recipe : 30 to 120 grams of astragalus, 6 grams of angelica tail, 45 grams of red peony root, 3 grams of earthworm, 43 grams of chuanxiong, 43 grams of safflower, 43 grams of peach kernel. This is Bu Yang Huan Wu Decoction.
I added Salvia miltiorrhiza , Nocturna , Ziziphus jujube kernel, and amber.
Salvia miltiorrhiza can cool the blood and calm the heart.
Nocturna and Zizyphus spinosum: nourish blood, soothe the nerves and aid sleep.
Amber can calm the mind and calm the mind. How effective is
?
After taking 7 doses, the patient's sleep gradually improved, but he still had frequent dreams. After adjusting the prescription, he added dragon teeth.
After taking another 7 doses, the patient's sleep has completely returned to normal.
Let me tell you the knowledge behind this.
This patient has typical symptoms of qi deficiency and blood stasis based on the overall symptom description and tongue and pulse.
A dull complexion, listless spirit, loss of appetite, lack of energy and laziness means Qi deficiency.
Qi, the commander of blood. Qi deficiency prevents blood from flowing, causing blood stasis. Due to blood stasis, the patient's pulse is stringy and astringent, the tongue is purple, and ecchymoses often appear under the skin.
How does Qi deficiency and blood stasis cause insomnia?
Due to qi and blood stasis, only half of the yang energy is flowing in the patient's body. Such a state cannot support the smooth transition between it and Yin Qi. If the two athletes made a mistake in "passing the baton", the overall performance must be bad, so they couldn't sleep.
What should we do?
It is very simple, the situation of qi deficiency and blood stasis must be improved. Only in this way can the other half of the patient's yang energy be replenished, making the transition between yin and yang smooth and natural.
Let’s take a closer look at Bu Yang Huan Wu Decoction. Its composition, once again, is 30 to 120 grams of astragalus, 6 grams of angelica tail, 5 grams of red peony root, 3 grams of earthworm, 3 grams of chuanxiong, 3 grams of safflower, and 3 grams of peach kernel.
Astragalus is for nourishing qi, while angelica tail, red peony root, Ligusticum chuanxiong, safflower and peach kernel are for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis .
Earth Dragon stimulates the meridians and activates meridians, allowing Qi and blood to flow smoothly.
Buyang Huanwu Decoction is specially used to improve Qi deficiency and blood syndrome.
The name of this prescription is called Bu Yang Huan Wu. Doesn’t this just replenish one-half of the patient’s yang energy? When the yang energy is sufficient, sleep will naturally return to normal.
In short, it is a good experience to treat insomnia with Qi deficiency and blood stasis method. If non-professional readers want to try prescriptions, they must do so under the guidance of syndrome differentiation by a Chinese medicine practitioner . If the syndrome does not fall into the category of qi deficiency and blood stasis, do not use it. Especially for some insomnia patients with excessive heat syndrome, using Bu Yang Huan Wu Decoction is asking for trouble.
