In the treatment of insomnia, the late father advocated that 'adjust its adverse, in addition to its harm.' It means that the treatment of insomnia should first find out the causes of insomnia. If insomnia is caused by viscera dysfunction, its disordered viscera function should be adjusted first, then the insomnia phenomenon will naturally disappear; if insomnia is caused by external evil invading the body, it should first distinguish the nature of external evil and remove it, so that sleep will tend to be stable. The former father sent the medicine to go straight into the place of illness, repeatedly suffering from stubborn illness, and there was no calculation for the living. On the basis of inheriting the academic thought and clinical experience of my father, combined with my own clinical practice of insomnia for many years and the clinical symptoms of patients with insomnia, the author divides insomnia into eight clinical types on the basis of syndrome differentiation. and then according to different types of insomnia, the use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, often get a better effect. < / p >< p >the clinical symptoms of Yingqi deficiency type can be seen: restless sleep, sleeping all night, different dreams, lethargy during the day, dizziness, forgetfulness, lack of concentration, palpitation, fatigue and other symptoms.
