To Liver-oriented From The Fire On The Treatment Of Insomnia

Insomnia is generally called "sleeplessness" . The disease is characterized by the patient usually being unable to get to normal sleep. Insomnia mainly belongs to neurosis and involutional syndrome.Now, I preliminarily summarize my teacher-----Professor Ma Ying 'stheory and clinic experience about insomnia. Professor Ma Ying believe that sleep for the every person has very important function for our body. But the insomnia has a lot of reason to give rise. The mainly reason is the liver blaze. Well, we should know the liver has the chief physiological functions as follows (1) storing and regulating blood. (2) domination of the conducting and dispersing, Furthermore, the liver's function in domination of the conducting and dispersing, within its physiological activity is shown five aspects as follows:1) regulating the movement of qi; 2) promoting digestion and absorption; (3) regulating emotional activities: 4)promoting secretion of bile; 5) promoting the sexual function. At the same time, Professor Ma Ying realizes that the liver's important function is also manifested in its relationship with heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. 1 the liver stores blood, the heart controls the circulation of blood :2 the relationship between the lung and the liver mainly manifests in ascending and descending of functional activity of qi:3 the liver stores blood, domination of the conducting and dispersing ;while the spleen has the function of transporting, distributing and transforming nutrients, and promoting water metabolism. 4 the liver stores blood, and the kidney stores the essence of life. If the liver's function is impaired, the other viscera can be caused disorder. Professor Ma Ying thinks that the functional disorder and derangement of viscera and bowels leads to the disorder of qi and blood and come into being hire that is the key to causing insomnia, Emotional activities are the main reason for insomnia . In the course of the pathology, firstly, the liver causes disorder. The pathological state of the blood deficiency is the common feature for kinds of insomnia. The disorder function of liver is the "root" of the disease; Professor Ma Ying believes that the syndrome differentiation on liver is very important in the course of visceral syndrome differentiation and meridian syndrome differentiation. And he founds the distinguishing clinic principle of smoothing liver, promoting blood, and calming vitality. Professor Ma Ying also foundshis distinguishing prescription named "An mian" prescription consists of Corydalis, Buplearum Root, Alisma Orientale ,Concha Margaritifera Usta, Fleece Flower stem , Wild or sping Jujuba Seed, Liquorice. When he uses "An shen" acupuncture therapy, he always selects five points such as Baihui point , Sishencong point, Taichong point , Shenmen point , and Neiguan point. This theory and clinical therapy get very good effort on clinic.
