A few days ago, a patient had a follow-up visit, before the main insomnia, asked him how he is now, he said that it is much better than before, but he doesn't want to take medicine, I asked him what's the matter, he said that the sour jujube kernel is too expensive, if you can't afford to eat it for a long time, I want to change the medicine.
I looked at the patient's prescription, most of them are some ordinary Chinese herbal medicines, only the amount of sour jujube kernels is a little more, now the price of sour jujube kernels has indeed risen more sharply, the market price is about 1500 yuan a catty, this patient is still severe insomnia, so the dosage will be larger, and several pairs of drugs add up to more expensive, it is indeed a great burden for ordinary families, I also understand the patient's concerns very well, tell him to drink the rest of the medicine first, I will find a way.
The patient has insomnia for more than 1 year, and every time he lies in bed early, but he can't sleep after turning and turning, his spirit is not very good during the day, he is weak and sweating, his tongue is light red, and the tip of his tongue is sunken, which is a tongue sign of heart qi deficiency and heart yin deficiency.
Due to the lack of qi and blood, there is no way to nourish the mind, and the mind is not nourished. It will cause him to toss and turn and can't fall asleep, and yin deficiency is also prone to false fire, which disturbs the mind and will aggravate the patient's insomnia. The sour jujube kernel can calm the mind and calm the nerves, collect yin and rejuvenate, and balance the yin and yang in the body. But there are thousands of herbs in the world, and I still found a medicine that can replace the sour jujube kernel. That's mother-of-pearl, nightshade, schisandra. The price of these medicines is low, and the price of a pair of medicines does not exceed 5 yuan.
Nightshade vine enters the heart and liver meridians, which can penetrate deep into the heart and liver, nourish yin deficiency, and make the heart and soul nourished, and the liver and soul can be at peace. It has a peaceful temperament and has a good effect on insomnia, dreams, and palpitations caused by heart, liver and blood deficiency.
Mother-of-pearl can calm the nerves, clear the liver and latent yang, penetrate into the heart and liver meridians, and make the mind stable.
Schisandra can be harvested in sourness, which can collect the void fire, solidify the essence and qi, and make the mind feel at ease. It can also nourish qi, nourish yin fluid, and fundamentally improve the situation of blood deficiency.
The patient took 3 courses according to the new prescription, the insomnia has disappeared, and he is radiant and energetic, looking like a different person.
Although the prescription is good, it must be combined with the patient's own situation, so don't blindly follow the trend of medication, if you feel unwell, please seek medical attention offline in time, and we will see you next time.
