Experience Examples of National TCM Master Xiong Ji-bai for the Treatment of Insomnia Caused by Phlegm-heat Internal Disturbance
Although the understanding of insomnia varies among medical experts in different dynasties,they generally explain it as the main pathogenesis of yin-yang imbalance and organ dysfunction.National master Xiong Jibai believes that phlegm-heat internal disturbance is the core pathogenesis of this disease,and clinical treatment is often conducted from phlegm,and he emphasizes the crucial role of phlegm,dampness,and heat in the onset,development,and treatment of the disease.Due to the fast-paced life,and prolonged mental tension,liver qi stagnation,qi stagnation caused by excessive thinking,and long-term stagnation can damage the heart and spleen,leading to spleen deficiency and dampness accumulation,resulting in phlegm accumulation and heat transformation.Alternatively,people's disregard for light and bland diets and their preference for fatty,sweet,and strong-tasting foods can lead to the internal generation of phlegm and dampness,which can accumulate and transform into heat.Therefore,it is easy for phlegm,dampness,and heat to accumulate and disturb the heart and spirit,leading to insomnia.Xiong Jibai uses Huanglian Wendan Decoction with symptom-based modifications and achieves satisfactory therapeutic effects.
