杨卫彬基于取类比象思维应用双夏汤治疗不寐经验OA

Professor YANG Weibin,based on the classical theory of"correspondence between nature and humans"in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),holds that the root cause of insomnia lies in the failure of yin and yang to interact.The key to treatment is to follow the natural waxing and waning of yin and yang and to restore the normal ascending and descending order of qi movement within the body.Professor YANG applies the method of"taking images for analogy"and uses Shuangxia Decoction(composed of Pinelliae Rhizoma and Prunellae Spica as the core medicinal pair)for treating insomnia.Pinelliae Rhizoma is endowed with pure yang in nature and emerges when yin begins to arise at the Summer Solstice,whereas Prunellae Spica is endowed with pure yin and withers at the same time.The growth and harvesting rhythms of these two herbal drugs correspond precisely to the transformation of yin and yang in nature.When used in combination,they exert pungent-opening and bitter-descending actions,with both warm and cold properties applied together.Through their natural attributes,they emulate the physiological rhythm of wakefulness during the day and sleep at night,in which yang enters yin.This herb pair can regulate the pivot of Shaoyang and guide yang into yin,thereby exerting a significant therapeutic effect on insomnia.
