Insomnia is a common symptom. According to the etiology, it can be divided into primary and secondary categories. Secondary insomnia is mostly caused by other diseases, such as pain and dyspnea, and can only be treated according to the primary disease. There are also some insomnia, which usually lacks a clear cause and is called primary insomnia. From the course of disease, there are short-term insomnia, chronic insomnia and other insomnia.

Insomnia is the scientific name of insomnia in Chinese medicine. The fifth edition of the textbook "Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine" holds that there are many reasons for insomnia. However, it is always related to yin deficiency and blood deficiency of the heart, spleen, liver and kidney, and its pathological changes should be that yang is abundant and yin is weak, and yin and yang are out of harmony.

Huangdi Neijing holds that sleep is related to defending qi. For example, "Lingshu Nutrition Health Club": "The trip to Roewe is unusual, so it is sunny and faint at night." Another example is "On Linghuo": "Wei Qi can't enter the Yin, but always stay in the Yang. Stay in the sun, the sun will be full, the sun will be full, and the sun will flourish. If you don't enter the yin, the yin is weak, so your eyes won't be sour ... if you stay in the yin, you can't walk in the sun. Stay in the shade, the shade will be full, and the shade will be full. If you can't enter the yang, the yang will be weak, so close your eyes and rest. "

Insomnia patients are often encountered in clinic, and the course of disease is long or short. After many other treatments, the effect is not good. This kind of insomnia is treated with acupuncture by Dr. Wu, and the effect is good. Short-term insomnia symptoms do not exceed three months, and this treatment is often effective and quick. 10 and the treatment of insomnia patients for 20 years may be slower. Short-term insomnia can be treated mainly by acupoints such as Fengchi, Fengfu and Baihui on the head and neck. For long-term insomnia, I usually add Jiaji points to the above points. After twenty or thirty treatments, the effect is good.

A few days ago, there was a patient with knee pain. Speaking of insomnia in February of that year, Dr. Wu was cured by acupuncture once. Dr. Wu remembers this patient. His eyes were red and bloodshot when he came. He stayed awake because of his troubles, and the effect was unexpected. Dr. Wu didn't expect this patient to have such a good curative effect. However, patients who come to see a doctor suffer from insomnia for a long time, and treatment needs more time.

Another thing I need to tell my friends is that insomnia does not depend on my feeling that I can't sleep, but on my energy the next day. If you are energetic the next day, you can have a good sleep. Looking back on your childhood, do you feel that it was dawn just after you fell asleep? I feel long when I can't sleep, but I feel short when I sleep as a child. Although you feel that your sleep time is short, your sleep is actually good. Friends who can't sleep will enlarge the time they can't sleep, but when they fall asleep, you won't feel the loss of time.

Get up energetic, sleep is no problem!
