Chinese medicine to help people with yin and blood deficiency fall asleep

Tell a story: In 1903, Mr. Zhang Taiyan and the progressive youth Zou Rong were arrested and imprisoned. Mr. Zhang Taiyan is proficient in traditional Chinese medicine and observed Zou Rong's symptoms. The syndrome is that he is exhausted and restless. This is exactly the corresponding disease of "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction" in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", so he asked someone to buy Ejiao and Huanglian. After taking a few medicines, Zou Rong's anxiety symptoms eased and he could fall asleep peacefully.


Regarding the "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction", Zhang Zhongjing described it like this: "Shaoyin disease, if you get it for two or three days, you will be upset and not allowed to." This recipe is very simple, only five herbs: Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, peony, donkey-hide gelatin and egg yolk. Among them, donkey-hide gelatin nourishes the heart, and Huanglian clears the mind. The two are matched, which is equivalent to building a big house for the mind who has nowhere to live. When the mind stops, there is a stable place to live, no longer wandering around, and people fall asleep. The function of nourishing blood and nourishing yin of this formula plays a decisive role in assisting sleep.

In addition to "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction", Chinese medicine also has a drug for people with yin and blood deficiency to fall asleep, which is "Jiaotai Pill". Both of them can make the mind be taken in, but taking "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction" to take care of the heart is hard work, and taking "Jiaotai Pill" to take in the heart is Xinyin. The insomnia they treat is virtual, and this virtual refers to the state of virtual excitement, and "restless sleep" is a kind of excitement.


Whether it is a traditional Chinese medicine heat-clearing medicine or a Western medicine sleeping pill, only relying on their inhibitory properties can not improve the deficiency and excitement, and must be "soft and hard", using both cold and heat. The difference in cold and heat between Huanglian and Ejiao, as well as the difference in "softness and hardness", is not as large as that of "Jiaotai Pill". "Jiaotai Pill" uses Coptis and cinnamon, one is very cold and the other is very hot, so the degree of insomnia treated with "Jiaotai Pill" is higher than that of "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction".
