Today's text, I want to talk to you about waking up early from sleep and having difficulty falling asleep after waking up.
There are many reasons for this. What I want to talk to you about today is the factor of "yin deficiency + phlegm fever".
Come on, gossip less, I'll tell you the story directly.
From the story, you must see a lot of things that you are familiar with.
It is said that there was such a man, who was 52 years old at the time, and the medical record was surnamed Mao. The first consultation was made on October 6, 1987.
What's wrong with him? It's just not sleeping well. Since March last year, he has not slept well. At best, they can only sleep for three to four hours each night. Generally speaking, I wake up around two o'clock in the night.
When you wake up, you don't care how hard you try, you just can't sleep. Big eyes and small eyes, one stare until dawn.
Sleep badly at night, it is uncomfortable during the day, the main manifestations are dizziness, forgetfulness, upset, dry mouth.
In the blink of an eye, this problem has been persistent for a year and a half. The patient was tortured enough. Went to the hospital for examination and found that everything was normal. Taking proprietary Chinese medicines, such as Gui Spleen Pills and Tianwang Tonic Heart Dan, etc., have been declared ineffective.
What to do? In the end, he decided to see a Chinese medicine doctor and drink soup medicine to try.
At the moment's diagnosis, the patient's tongue was red, and there was no tongue moss in the middle of the tongue, but there were deep cracks. At the base of the tongue , there is a pronounced yellowish moss.
After learning about these circumstances, the doctor prescribed a prescription. This square has been preserved very completely, let's take a look at it together—
Huanglian 6 grams, skullcap 6 grams, white peony 10 grams, Xuan Ginseng 10 grams, Mai Dong 12 grams, Half Summer 10 grams, Chonanxing 10 grams, Stone Calamus 12 grams, Yuanzhi 5 grams, Oysters 30 grams, Mother of Pearl 30 grams, sautéed sour jujube kernels 15 grams, one dose per day.
The result? After taking 9 doses, the patient's sleep was significantly improved, and he could sleep for 5 to 6 hours at night. Dizziness and headaches have also been reduced.
Later, the doctor followed the original prescription to add or subtract slightly, and continued to use it until the patient's evidence was cleared and sleep completely returned to normal.
This is the basic process of medical cases. I took the main part of it and told you about it.
Now, I'll tell you the truth behind that.
In fact, all mysteries are hidden in the patient's tongue.
You see this person, the tongue is red, the tongue has cracks, there is no moss in the tongue. What does this mean? Is it yin and fire? Yin deficiency and lack of jin, the tongue body is lost, so there are cracks and no moss. The hypothermia forces the blood to go, and the tongue is red.
It's not over yet. At the base of the patient's tongue, there is yellow greasy moss. What does yellow moss mean? It means there's phlegm fever, right?
You may ask, how can there be two kinds of tongues on this person's tongue? On one side is yin and fire, and on the other side is phlegm fever. Isn't that contradictory?
I tell you, no contradiction. Phlegm fever this thing, will hurt the yin, aggravate the yin deficiency. Yin deficiency and fire are strong, and in turn, they are refined into phlegm and form phlegm fever. So between the two, it is completely you have me, I have you, can coexist and appear at the same time.
The patient's yin deficiency and fire, coupled with phlegm heat internal disturbances, do you say he can sleep well? Definitely not sleeping well. Problems such as dry mouth, restlessness, dizziness, and forgetfulness are also related to this.
Now that the root cause of the disease has been found, the direction of solving the problem is also clear. This is to nourish the yin, lower the fire, clear the heat, and dissolve the phlegm. Let's look at the compatibility of the doctors at that time -
Huanglian 6 g, skullcap 6 g, white peony 10 g, Xuan Ginseng 10 g, Mai Dong 12 g, Ban Xia 10 g, Cho Nan Xing 10 g, Stone Calamus 12 g, Yuanzhi 5 g, Oyster 30 g, Mother of Pearl 30 g, Fried Sour Jujube Kernel 15 g.
Here, white peony, xuan ginseng, and wheat dong are used to nourish the yin. Skullcap, skullcap, used for heat removal. Banxia, Chonanxing, Stone Calamus, and Yuanzhi are used to dissolve phlegm. Sour jujube kernels can nourish the blood of the heart and liver and reassure the gods. Mother-of-pearl and oysters, good at calming the nerves.
This is the basic intention of medication, I told you again, I don't know how much help it can bring you.
In fact, sleeping until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night to wake up, after which it is difficult to fall asleep, there are many reasons behind this phenomenon. Common, such as congestion block, heart and spleen deficiency, hyperinflation, liver fire inflammation, etc., are very common. The etiological mechanism introduced in the above medical case, you remember, is the coexistence of yin and fire and phlegm fever internal disturbance. This is more common in the clinical practice of Traditional Chinese medicine.
The compatibility listed in the article, I suggest that professional readers and friends can have a good experience, and there will be opportunities in the future to help more people in need. For non-professional readers, you may wish to collect. Please note that it is important to learn from the application under the dialectical guidance of TCM physicians. If the evidence is not yin and false, hot and vigorous, phlegm heat and internal disturbance, it should not be used, so as not to cause branches outside the node.
Of course, we should all also pay attention to our own tongues. If you look in the mirror and find that the tongue is red, there is no tongue moss, and there are cracks in the middle, which requires a high consideration of the problem of yin deficiency and fire. We need timely TCM intervention. Otherwise, the state lasts for a long time, and it is easy to develop other more complex symptoms and cause more intractable diseases. In terms of living habits, you need to become light - eat lightly, sleep in time, have a peaceful mind, and control your temper. Your life state is light, and your body will be light and less sick.
All right. I'll tell you so much about this. Thank you for reading.
