Since ancient times, sleeping has been a major event, not a general event, but a top priority!
The harm of insomnia is well known.
There are too many problems caused by poor sleep, such as color deterioration, memory loss, hair loss, anxiety and so on. Like dominoes, they fall together, and the ones behind them fall one after another.
According to the common clinical forms of insomnia:
"Spirit Pivot Evil Guest" says: "Defending qi goes in the Yang in the daytime and in the Yin at night. Wei Qi walks alone in Yang, can't enter Yin, yin deficiency, so his eyes are not satisfied. " It shows that insomnia is related to Wei Qi's failure to enter Yin from Yang.
Wei qi enters and exits through shaoyang triple energizer. Once triple energizer is blocked, it will cause insomnia.
Insomnia is also related to deficiency of yin and blood. After Yang enters Yin, it is bound to be restrained by Yin blood, which is insufficient to restrain Yang and insomnia.
The brain is the mansion of Yuan God. Insomnia is also related to blood stasis and cerebral hemorrhage.
Chinese medicine does have many good decoction formulas in this respect. Today, I'd like to introduce Ziziphus jujuba seed soup made by Zhang Zhongjing, a great doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. About this recipe, Zhang Zhongjing described it very simply: I was tired and bored and couldn't sleep, mainly with Ziziphus jujuba seed soup.
Suanzaoren decoction: fried Suanzaoren 15g, Chuanxiong 6g, Anemarrhena 6g, Glycyrrhiza 3g and Poria 6g are decocted in water.
Indications: liver blood deficiency, deficiency-heat disorder.
The name is Ziziphus jujuba seed soup, starting with Ziziphus jujuba seed. Semen Ziziphi Spinosae is the seed kernel of Ziziphus Spinosae. Zizyphus jujuba is very common in the wild. Unlike Zizyphus jujuba, Zizyphus jujuba grows tall. Zizyphus jujuba belongs to shrub family. You see it has no obvious trunk and is not tall, so the fruit is easy to pick, but be careful not to be stabbed by it.
Zizyphus jujuba tastes sour and sweet, so don't throw away the remaining stones. The stone is hard because it protects the most essential part of the plant-the seed kernel, which is the jujube stone.
Ziziphus jujuba seed is essential for insomnia.
Chinese medicine's understanding of it is divided into two aspects: sleeping more and having children; Don't sleep, fry well.
When a person can't sleep, he grabs a handful of Ziziphus jujuba seeds and cooks them. After frying, people can sleep and sleep soundly. There is another person who can't wake up all day and still uses Ziziphus jujuba seeds.
Ziziphus jujuba seed tonifies liver and blood, which is the monarch drug and lays the foundation for the whole prescription.
Chuanxiong's "upward leader, downward blood", two words: initiative. Just like the Monkey King in Wu Cheng'en, he can do anything from heaven to earth, which can drive the whole body to move up and down.
Poria cocos has a sedative effect. As mentioned earlier, the keynote of Suanzaoren Decoction is to nourish liver blood and hide the soul in the liver. The soul should be hidden in the liver, and the liver blood is sufficient, otherwise it will be like a fish out of water, anxious and desperately fluttering. Here, Ziziphus jujuba seed is used to replenish liver blood, and Chuanxiong is used to promote blood circulation, but it is not enough, because the soul follows God, so it is necessary to soothe the nerves.
What's it like to be upset? Tired, but I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I can't help thinking about all kinds of things, what happened during the day and what happened in the past.
Poria cocos can soothe the nerves. Even worse than poria cocos. It can be named after a god, and the effect will not be bad. Where is the power of poria cocos?
It has pine roots in the middle. As we all know, Poria cocos grows under pine trees, and some pine roots will pass through it. The ancient ancients directly wrote bewitching the gods, even omitting the cursive prefix.
What's the point of lying down My mind has been moving, just like a computer, which has obviously pressed the power off button, but it is still running at a high speed and can't stop at all. As soon as Poria cocos or Poria cocos God dies, it will automatically shut down honestly.
Anemarrhena is clear of deficiency and heat, and blood belongs to yin. Deficiency-heat rises with less yin. Chinese medicine is called yin deficiency and internal heat. You are optimistic. Many people can't sleep at night. When I can't sleep, I like to toss and turn, and my head is very annoying. This is heat, not real heat, but virtual heat.
How to tell? If the weather is really hot, it will be very comfortable to drink some cold water. As early as Erya, there was a record about Anemarrhena asphodeloides, saying that it was "born on the mountain, with stems like roots, leaves like leeks, and stems used as medicine."
Not only can it be used as medicine, but it is also a good medicine with bitter taste. Anemarrhena asphodeloides is really bitter and cold, so it can nourish yin and clear away deficiency and heat.
Licorice is a peacemaker and plays a mediating role.
Because the dosage of Ziziphus jujuba seed is the heaviest, although Chuanxiong, Poria and Anemarrhena can eliminate all kinds of insomnia causes, nourishing blood and calming the nerves is in the main position, so it is called nourishing blood and calming the nerves. A small amount of Ligusticum chuanxiong can excite the central nervous system, while a large amount of Ligusticum chuanxiong can inhibit the central nervous system to achieve the purpose of sleeping, so the dosage of Ligusticum chuanxiong should be heavy.
This is what Zhang Zhongjing said, "I can't sleep when I'm tired and bored, and Ziziphus jujuba Rentang is in charge."
1. When using this recipe to treat insomnia, we should add and subtract from four aspects. Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Scrophulariae and Radix Ophiopogonis can be added for patients with yin deficiency and blood deficiency; Blood stasis, and optionally Radix Paeoniae Rubra and Semen Persicae; Dampness and turbidity are the main obstacles, and Pinellia ternata, polygala tenuifolia and Acorus gramineus can be added; The heat is obvious, and Fructus Gardeniae, Douchi and Gypsum Fibrosum can be added.
2. For palpitation, keel and oyster can be added.
3. Mulberry leaves, Cortex Moutan, Talcum and Concha Ostreae can be added for the treatment of night sweats.
4. Pinellia ternata and bamboo shavings can be added for dizziness and phlegm dampness; Ginseng Radix, Radix Ophiopogonis, and Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis can be added for patients with qi deficiency.
In addition, the medicinal points are of the same origin, and the acupoints on the body can also be formulated. Moxibustion or warm moxibustion is used, supplemented by middle-flushing serum deficiency and clearing heat, kneading the valley and activating qi and harmonizing the middle, and kneading Neiguan to regulate menstruation and soothe the nerves.
Finally, I want to sum up with a square song. Remember this square song, and the fun of Ziziphus jujuba seed soup will be understood.
Suanzaoren decoction for insomnia, Chuanxiong Caozhi Fuling decoction
Nourishing blood to eliminate annoyance, clearing away deficiency and heat, and sleeping sweetly.
People who suffer from insomnia occasionally, please don't worry, the body will adjust itself. People who often suffer from insomnia should adjust their physical condition in many ways.
1. Exercise as much as possible during the day, preferably sweating;
2. Reduce brain use, think less and worry less as far as possible;
3. Don't eat too late for dinner and don't eat too much for dinner;
4. Soak your feet before going to bed, listen to some soothing music and meditate;
People with insomnia should not rely too much on drugs. Friends who take sleeping pills for a long time, try to stay away from sleeping pills, slowly reduce the dose, and slowly get out of the sleeping pill mode.
Matters needing attention
Although there is no big taboo in daily health care, the imbalance between clinical prescriptions and patients' physique has become an urgent and difficult problem to solve. We should pay attention to relevant taboos and set things right. The distinction between taboos should be treated dialectically.
