Theoretical Deconstruction of Acupuncture for Insomnia Disorder
Insomnia disorder is a common disease in acupuncture clinics.There is a tendency for the theory to solidify and lag behind the clinic.In this paper,we examined insomnia disorder from the perspective of acupuncture and moxibustion theory.Based on the general law of acupuncture and moxibustion to recognize the disease,we concerned that the basic understanding of the disease has commonality between ancient and modern medical practitioners,and the theory can be deconstructed as follows:the theory of"yin and yang"is the starting point and the root of the theory,the theory of"spirit regulars the sleep"is the directly related theory,the theory of internal organs is the basis of the disease mechanism,the theory of meridians and acupoints is the key to diagnosis and treatment,and the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion is the key to treatment.The improvement and development of the theory of acupuncture for insomnia disorder can be carried out on this basis.
