The stomach is not harmonious, then can not sleep Two days ago a patient, v. often can not sleep, has been six months in a row, feel like every day is like a year, because he said that every night up to about 1 hour of sleep, no matter how hard they work, anyway, is unable to sleep. Hospitals do not know how many to go to, doctors do not know how many to see, the improvement is not obvious, the hospital prescribed Valium and other sedatives, psychiatrists told him to sleep before bed therapy, such as counting, and so on, the beginning of the time there is still efficacy, but later not much effect. Because a friend’s brother, we talked about this problem when we got together for dinner. My friend said you should help me see, he has not had a good night’s sleep for a long time, everywhere to seek medical ah. For this insomnia friend’s brother who has looked around, I have no bottom in my heart. The good thing is that the relationship is indeed very good, so I told him to go to your house tomorrow for dinner, by the way to see the situation. Good guys, the brother of a friend’s family conditions are very good, at that time thought it was in the friend plus dinner, because their brothers live together, just across a small hill, dinner results in his brother’s house to eat. The friend’s brother is 40 years old, but looks a little older than that, but people still look sturdier. It is reasonable to say that such a good family, such a good body, should not lose sleep ah, nothing is missing, huh. His brother’s lover is very virtuous, stay with us to not long, did a rich table. The friend’s brother naturally ruffled me a whole lot of pain about his insomnia, the experience of seeing a doctor, etc., listening to me then completely out of breath, huh, this is really a difficult disease ah. After the meal together with playing double upgrade, chatting know friend’s brother intermittent constipation, abdomen also sometimes bloated. I asked if you have seen gastroenterology before, whether there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract, he said he had seen, the doctor said there is chronic gastritis, but also ate a lot of Chinese and Western medicine, but the improvement is not obvious, constipation, abdominal distension occasionally episodes. Because it is a sleep disorder, patients often go to see neurology, sleep specialists, psychology, Chinese medicine and internal medicine. I thought to myself, my friend’s brother has seen all the departments he should see, so I really lost my mental strength. But I thought, the patient has already seen so many departments and physicians on sleep, but it is not good, at present, I can be sure that I can only consider the spleen and stomach. ”I suddenly remembered this classic line from the Nei Jing. Yes, it should be caused by the disharmony of the spleen and stomach. Because the patient is unable to sleep on top, bloating in the middle, and constipation on the bottom, the disease should be caused by the failure to lower the stomach qi, and the location of the disease should be determined to be in the middle jiao. If the gas does not descend, food residues, stomach secretions, gas, etc. should not be very smooth, the middle jiao gambling up, the blockage will turn into heat over time, heat is often upward, heat is Yang, more Yang above, Yang can not enter the yin, Yang does not enter the yin, then the yin and Yang are not in harmony, not in harmony will be insomnia. The middle jiao gambling up, the intestinal tract clear gas, turbidity naturally also occasionally out of order, as manifested by irregularities in the stool. Once the disease location and mechanism were all straightened out, I prescribed him 5 doses of Chinese herbs such as chicken shit vine, fire flaxseed, mucuna pruriens, atractylodes, and astragalus to pass down the stomach and intestines and regulate the middle jiao, so that he could try it first. For this idea, I am not sure, the result of the 5th day, my friend said to me, his brother feels a little change, these days stool once a day, sleep also slightly improved a little. Oh, this gave me confidence that the idea was correct. After that, I gave him five consecutive consultations, seven doses each time, all focusing on regulating the spleen and stomach in the middle jiao. I also told him to eat less cold and fruit, drink less alcohol, eat lightly, and control the amount of food, not too much, especially at night. Later, this insomnia was cured in the beginning with no bottom line at all. It is true that “if you regulate the spleen and stomach, and open up the internal organs, you will be able to sleep peacefully”.
