Title: Brief Analysis of Insomnia from the Perspective of Liver
Abstract: Liver disease induced by liver diseases mostly is due to the yin and yang imbalance of the liver,with the commonlyseen patterns of liver-yang hyperactivity,flaring-up of liver fire,depressed liver qi and insufficient liver yin. Besides,the influences of pathological factors between the liver and other viscera can also lead to insomnia,such as depressed liver and deficient spleen,stagnated heat of the liver and gall bladder and phlegm-heat stagnated in the liver. The principal formulas used have the effects of soothing the liver and suppressing the yang,dispersing the depressed liver qi,soothing and softening the liver,soothing the liver and clearing heat,and tranquilizing the mind. The traditional classic formulas also have definite and remarkable efficacy. In clinic,drugs for tranquilizing the mind should not be used blindly in case the liver is disrupted,which may achieve half the result with twice the effort. Apart from TCM acupuncture,external application of drugs and ear acupuncture also have obvious advantages over western medicine.
