Discussion on the Four-Season Pathogenesis and Treatment of Insomnia Based on the “Circular Movement of YangQi Ascending and Descending”
In the perspective of the theory of “circular movement of y
ang
qi
ascending and descending”, the author explores the four-season pathogenesis and treatment of insomnia based on the seasonal changes of the body's
yin
-
yang
balance. It is believed that the core pathogenesis of insomnia lies in the spleen and stomach deficiency and the internal buildup of dampness. The four-season pathogenesis of insomnia focuses can be categorized into four aspects: abnormal ascending of
yang
qi
in the spring, leading to the liver fire inflammation or the liver
qi
stagnation; Predominance of
yang
qi
in the upper side of the heart and gallbladder fire in the summer; Lung disorder and abnormal descent of
yang
qi
, resulting in
yang
-heat conversion into dryness or disharmony between nutrient
qi
and defensive
qi
; Abnormal hiding of
yang
qi
, manifesting as floating
yang
or deficiency in both
yin
and
yang
in the winter. It is advocated to dynamically grasp the pathogenesis of insomnia in accordance with the changes in time. A treatment framework called “restoring ascending and descending of y
ang
qi
” is proposed, with the core focus on resolving dampness and strengthening the spleen, while also addressing the liver and strengthen the spleen, clearing and descending the heart and gallbladder, purifing and descending the lung
qi
, and suppressing hyperactive the
yang
and invigorating the kidneys in different seasons. This enrichment of the traditional Chinese medicine time medicine research in insomnia treatment, based on the characteristics of seasonal rhythmic time, aims to better serve clinical practice and provide ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of insomnia.
