ABSTRACT

[Objective]: To analyze the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis and treatment thinking of insomnia and depressive state from the perspective of yang deficiency. [Methods] From the basic theory of TCM, ancient classics of TCM, and modern literature, combined with our knowledge and clinical experience, we discussed the theoretical and therapeutic aspects of Gui Gan Long Mu Tang in the treatment of Yang deficiency insomnia with depressive state, and cited a typical case to support.[Results]: Yang deficiency type depression and sleeplessness are both clinical manifestations of a school of yin, and both are external manifestations of Yang Qi deficiency or Yang Qi malfunction. Yang qi is more deficient and yang qi is more depressed, therefore the occurrence of yang deficiency depression and sleeplessness is closely related to yang qi malfunction, mostly due to yang qi deficiency, warming failure or yang qi depression and unfavorable cardinality. Gui Gan Long Mu Tang can warm Yang Qi and dispel Yang Qi, which has the characteristics of combining movement and static, balancing Yin and Yang, and being rigid and flexible. Thus, the body's yang qi can be raised, yin qi can be submerged, and qi can rise and fall normally, thus achieving a state of yin and yang secrecy. The clinical efficacy is precise. [Conclusion] Gui Gan Long Mu Tang has unique advantages in the treatment of Yang deficiency insomnia with depressive state, which can significantly improve the clinical efficacy and is worth studying and researching.
