Abstract

Insomnia belongs to the category of "sleepless" in Chinese medicine, the main clinical manifestations are difficult to sleep, or sleep and easy to wake up, or can not sleep after waking up, and sometimes wake up when sleeping, severe sleepless all night. Later generations of doctors will spleen and stomach disharmony, phlegm and damp block, diet stagnation, causing sleepless nights are attributed to this. As early as in Suwen, it was mentioned that "stomach disharmony leads to sleeping restlessness". With the in-depth study of brain and intestinal axis and intestinal flora, the relationship between spleen and stomach and insomnia has been further understood, and it is concluded that one of the important pathogenesis of insomnia is spleen and stomach disharmony, which can cause deficiency of Qi and blood biochemistry, disharmony of Ying and wei, and loss of balance of Yin and Yang. Regulating spleen and stomach is safe and effective in treating insomnia without side effects.
