ABSTRACT

In modern society, insomnia is common, and the decline of sleep quality will seriously affect people's normal life, work and study. The short-term efficacy of western medicine in the treatment of insomnia is good, which can improve the symptoms of insomnia in a short time. However, in the long run, western medicine treatment will bring potential adverse reactions, such as emotional excitement, depression and anxiety, so long-term treatment cannot be carried out. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on a unified holistic view, syndrome differentiation and treatment. The treatment is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine, combined with acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, to regulate the balance of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang of the body, with fewer side effects and positive long-term effects. This article mainly focuses on the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of insomnia from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, and explores the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of insomnia.
