What is the reason of infantile insomnia? Insomnia, known as' insomnia 'in traditional Chinese medicine, is characterized by light, difficulty in falling asleep, and easy to wake up when sleeping; If you are serious, you can't sleep all night. Its nature is divided into virtual, real, standard and basic. In pediatrics, it is summarized in 'palpitation', 'night cry' and other syndromes.
Some causes of infantile insomnia are related to congenital endowment. Qian Yi of the Song Dynasty believed that children's physique had "more than three" (heart, liver and Yang), "four deficiencies" (deficiency of spleen, lung, kidney and Yin), and more than three were the main factors of the disease. The pathological changes were mainly hyperactivity of Yang in heart and liver. Hyperactivity of heart Yang leads to loss of sleep; Hyperactivity of liver Yang is irritable. "Su Wen & middot; the grand theory of yin and Yang should be like" says: 'Yin is static and Yang is dry', "Yin is inside, and Yang is also guarded; Yang is outside, so is Yin. " That is, Yin dominates softness and tranquility, Yang dominates rigidity and irritability, yin and yang are rooted in each other, and the guards depend on each other. If the two are full and harmonious, the body will be harmonious and disease-free. The heart governs blood and hides God. It is the source of wisdom and meaning. All human spiritual activities belong to the heart.
Children often have surplus heart, heart fire is easy to be hyperactive, restless and restless; The liver is just dirty and dynamic, the main tendon hides the soul, its ambition is angry, its anger is urgent, the body is Yin and uses Yang, which is the 'foundation of strike pole' of the human body.
Children's liver is often surplus. If the Yin of liver body is insufficient due to disease consumption and the Yang of liver is too high, it will be accompanied by inattention and stubborn temperament in addition to insomnia. The spleen resides in the soil, which is the viscera of Yin. It hides meaning and is thought in ambition. Children's spleen is often insufficient. If the care is inappropriate or injured by disease, the movement is abnormal, and the lungs are not nurtured, they will lose their tranquility, change their interests, and speak rashly. " The kidney is a strong official, and the skill is skillful. The kidney stores the will, the main bone generates the marrow, and the marrow passes through the brain. Children have weak viscera and deficiency of kidney yin. If they have congenital deficiency or kidney yang loss and marrow deficiency after illness, insomnia is accompanied by clumsy and uncertain movements, forgetfulness, enuresis, etc; Kidney deficiency causes water without wood, liver Yang is easy to hyperactivity, and there is no way to make fire, resulting in more than various diseases of heart fire.
To sum up, Fang Shaoqiong believes that childhood insomnia is caused by congenital deficiency, acquired disorder, or other diseases, resulting in the gradual formation of a more prosperous and weaker constitution, and then evolved into the dysfunction of Zang Fu organs and the imbalance of yin and Yang; Based on the deficiency of kidney yin, deficiency of Yang, floating hyperactivity, heart and liver fire, insomnia and other syndromes occur. In addition to insomnia, its clinical manifestations can be accompanied by easy excitement, difficult feeding, inattention, stubborn temperament, clumsy movement, forgetfulness, enuresis, etc.
