Is there a scientific basis for Chinese medicine to cure diseases like insomnia?

Chinese medicine is based on the holistic concept, dialectical treatment, the treatment of insomnia is scientifically based. "Practice is the only standard for testing the truth." The treatment of insomnia by Chinese medicine is tested by long-term practice.

According to Chinese medicine, insomnia, also known as "insomnia" and "no sleep", is mainly caused by the restlessness of the mind and spirit. Some sleep shallow and dreamy easy to wake up, wake up is not easy to fall asleep; some can not fall asleep after bedtime, or even sleep all night; some sleep unsteadily, often accompanied by dizziness and headache, palpitations and forgetfulness, as well as mental fatigue and so on. There are many reasons for this, and the following is only a discussion of insomnia-based symptoms.

Etiological factors: anxiety and fatigue, injuring the heart and spleen; long-term illness, kidney yin depletion, resulting in heart yang hyperactivity, or the five wills are too extreme, the heart and kidneys do not communicate with each other and restlessness, the formation of insomnia; physical weakness of the heart and gallbladder cowardice, easy to be scared in case of trouble; or emotional tension, easy to be shocked by anxiety; or dietary indiscretion, or accumulation of phlegm and heat, and gastric qi disharmony and lying down, and so on.

Dialectical treatment: Insomnia has different symptoms depending on the degree of deficiency. Deficiency is mostly due to deficiency of blood and yin, focusing on the heart, spleen, liver and kidney, the treatment should be to replenish qi and blood, water and fire; solid evidence is mostly due to food stagnation and phlegm, yong in the stomach and internal organs, the treatment should be eliminated and guide and the treatment of phlegm and fire down. Real evidence for a long time can also be turned into false evidence, when the evidence of treatment. Insomnia most of the new disease for the real, the disease will be weak, need to be examined in detail.

Dialectical typing:

1. Heart, spleen and blood hyperactivity: dreamy and easy to wake up, difficult to fall asleep after waking up, palpitation, fatigue, tasteless food, face without splendor, pale tongue and thin moss, weak pulse. Treatment should be based on Gui Spleen Tang.

2 Yin deficiency and fire exuberance: heartburn and insomnia, dizziness and tinnitus, five heartburn and heat, dry mouth and little fluids, or palpitation, forgetfulness, lumbago, red tongue, fine pulse. Tianwang tonic heart Dan main.

3. Heart deficiency and timidity: palpitations and dreams, easy to wake up, pale tongue, thin pulse. Tranquilizing Spirit and Tingzhi Pill with added flavor is the main reason.

4. Dissonance in the stomach: insomnia, stuffy belching in the epigastrium, abdominal distension, or bowel movements, greasy tongue and slippery pulse. Baohe Pill is the main one.

5 Phlegm-heat disturbing the heart: insomnia, irritability and alarm, bitter mouth, dizziness, yellow and greasy tongue, slippery pulse. Warm gallbladder soup with mountain branch seeds is the mainstay.

Chinese medicine dialectical treatment, treatment of disease seeking the root cause of insomnia than Western medicine selection of sedative sleeping drugs symptomatic treatment, more advantageous. The disadvantage is the trouble of decocting Chinese medicine. (It is better to use proprietary Chinese medicines.)

The above is for reference.



Insomnia, Chinese medicine, called sleeplessness, Chinese medicine on insomnia dialectic and treatment is very theoretical basis, insomnia and yang does not enter the yin, daytime is the yang, yang for the function of the movement, so we work; night is the yin, yin for the static for the material, so we have to rest at night, in layman's terms, the rest is to put us out of the movement of yang back to the static yin (material), yin and yang for the mutual use of the mutual root and yang, Yang intermingling with yin, so that the next day our spirit is refreshed. The next day we are full of energy, this is from the yin and yang, if from the internal organs, the main heart fire can not be handed over to the kidney water, kidney water can not be on the control of the heart fire, the heart and kidney do not meet, water and fire do not help, and so lead to sleeplessness, if from the mood to speak of the ...... theory is too boring, we do not love to hear, say something close to the reality of life it! --As the saying goes, "can't sleep is not tired," the daytime resistance to a day of cement, the night bed to sleep; "stomach and sleep uneasy," the night to eat a stomach of spicy grease, stomach The stomach turns over, a moment want to vomit a moment want to pull, tossing and turning in bed, how can sleep peacefully? "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", this saying is used for insomnia to understand, not to mention the wrong thing, there are too many worries, fears, tensions in the heart, has been in the mind hovering, how can you sleep soundly? No comparison is no harm, the reality of the people around us, as long as it is heartless what matters no matter what clothes to the hand to the meal to the mouth, these people emotionally unaffected, basically will not insomnia, as if the idiot and the child will not be insomnia, can be said that insomnia are "thinkers", of course, this statement must be ruled out a very small number of heart and soul! The reason for this is that there is a lack of blood in the heart, a weak and timid heart, and phlegm-heat disturbing the heart. The purpose of all this is just to illustrate the fact that the pressure of society nowadays has basically led to the fact that every insomnia patient is more or less emotionally related. The length is too long, pull a little far, have time to share some of the real cases of insomnia treatment (medical cases) with you later!

I used to have insomnia have affected the work, go to see a Western doctor on the prescription of sleeping pills, that time is Anacin, and then eat this medicine do not work, this pain is now unforgettable, or our sweeping sister to take care of me, and then a friend said you go to see a traditional Chinese medicine, and then went to the Chinese medicine hospital, ate a few days of traditional Chinese medicine on the good, this is a very deep experience for me, even if someone is insomniac now, I still recommend to see a traditional Chinese medicine, see a Western doctor! It is not very suitable, and it is difficult for Western medicine to solve the fundamental problems.

If you take the theory of Western medicine as a scientific basis, Chinese medicine treatment of insomnia is certainly the stream of witchdoctors, but science should be diversified, civilization should also be diversified, so the scientific nature of Chinese medicine should also be unquestionable!
