There are many reasons for insomnia, first of all, it depends on whether there are organic diseases, such as pain, cerebrovascular disease, gastrointestinal diseases, mental diseases, etc., if these diseases are excluded, most of them belong to functional; in terms of functional insomnia, most patients have insomnia due to long-term tension, exertion, mental stress, etc., which cause disorders of the vegetative nerves and belong to the category of psychosomatic diseases, through their own adjustment, sleep most patients will The majority of patients will return to normal sleep through their own adjustment. If these causative factors can not be eliminated, long-term insomnia, often anxiety phenomenon, or accompanied by depression, then you should see a doctor, or psychological guidance, or take medication. However, medication should be taken under the guidance of a physician, and avoid taking drugs with dependent side effects indiscriminately. A large part of many patients with long-term insomnia is drug abuse, which affects the therapeutic effect. Although Chinese medicine, acupuncture, food therapy, etc. have great advantages in the treatment of insomnia, with few side effects, and generally do not produce drug dependence, but not just use, should also be under the guidance of a physician reasonable use of proprietary Chinese medicine, especially many Chinese medicine for insomnia, some contain toxic ingredients such as vermilion, more can not be taken for a long time. The main thing is that Chinese medicine is about dialectical treatment, and proprietary Chinese medicines should also be used rationally. First of all, we must identify the cold and heat of the symptoms, the lesions in the internal organs, in the qi and blood, the age and duration of the disease, there are differences in the use of drugs. Insomnia is mainly caused by liver qi stagnation, heat disturbing the heart and restlessness of the mind. Depending on the clinical manifestations, there are many pathological factors such as non-interaction between heart and kidney, deficiency of heart and spleen, deficiency of qi and blood, and stasis of blood. In conclusion, the pathogenesis of insomnia is complex, mostly due to a combination of deficiency and reality, Qi and blood, imbalance of internal organs, and disharmony of yin and yang. Although the pathogenesis is complex, we found that the main factor that starts insomnia is the emotional factor. Therefore, we often use the treatment method of liver treatment to harmonize qi and blood, balance yin and yang, and regulate the function of internal organs, so that the patient’s emotions and spirit are relaxed and the mind is at peace, with satisfactory results.
