Ancient books on insomnia

Lack of concentration, trance, forgetfulness, fatigue, difficulty breathing? Or insomnia, dreaminess, irritability and anxiety?

Or often depressed, involuntarily want to cry? If you have these manifestations, from the point of view of Chinese medicine, you may be suffering from "dirty impatience".

The description of "dirty impatience" in ancient Chinese medicine books is: "I like sadness and want to cry, as if it were done by God, and the number is insufficient." Modern scholars believe that "dirty impatience" reflects the disharmony of heart and spleen injury and liver-qi imbalance.

Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, once wrote a famous prescription for this disease: Ganmai Jujube Decoction. This prescription has only three flavors-licorice, wheat and jujube, but it has the magical effects of nourishing the heart, calming the nerves, harmonizing the middle-energizer, invigorating the spleen and benefiting qi.

The whole recipe is concise and wonderful. Wheat and jujube are food, and licorice is also the same as medicine and food.

Among them, wheat nourishes the heart and yin, and it is the monarch medicine except for vexation and heat clearing; Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is a minister medicine for invigorating heart qi and harmonizing middle and acute diseases. Jujube tonifies the temper and moistens dryness, which is an adjuvant medicine. The whole formula is very peaceful, but the effect is not generally good. Besides treating diseases, it also has the function of health care.

Since ancient times, countless cases have been cured with this prescription, and it is still widely used.

Such as neurasthenia, severe insomnia, premenstrual tension, climacteric syndrome, hysteria, depression, plum blossom, Parkinson's disease, children's hyperactivity disorder, children's night crying, etc. ...

In short, it is possible to use Ganmai Jujube Decoction for any dysfunction of five internal organs caused by excessive anxiety, mental stress, deficiency of heart yin and disharmony between liver and qi. For example, long-term insomnia caused by depression, anxiety and tension, drinking Ganmai jujube soup is very effective.

This soup can also strengthen the spleen and stomach. In the soup, licorice purges heart fire and stomach, red dates replenish qi and nourish yin, and wheat nourish heart liquid. This soup can be used for insomnia, depression, fear, spleen-stomach disharmony, menopausal syndrome, etc.
