Insomnia at night is a sign of kidney yin deficiency . It is necessary to know that "more thoughts will disperse the essence", that is to say, too many thoughts and too many things to think about. Thoughtful thinking mainly focuses on a person's conscious consideration of things, while recitation mainly focuses on a person's lack of concentration, inability to calm down, and it is difficult to get a deep sleep when sleeping.
The great thing about traditional Chinese medicine is that it never dismembers the human body, unlike Western medicine, which disassembles the human body into eight pieces, and then divides it into categories according to the solitary organs. Finally, it treats the head and feet for headaches, and generally does not kill anyone. , but never really cured anyone, but it is to eliminate the disease, as long as those data indicators are controlled within a so-called normal value range, a person is considered healthy. What about Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine always regards the human body as a sophisticated and complete system, as a whole. When Chinese medicine talks about the spleen and stomach, it is not talking about the visible organ, but the entire digestive system.
What is the relationship between the heart and the kidneys? When the heart and kidneys are in a perfect state, the relationship between the two should be "the heart and the kidneys intersect, and water and fire are both beneficial". To put it simply, the heart is the fire in the human body, and the kidneys are the water in the human body. The two must achieve a fusion. However, the water and fire in the human body work in the opposite way to the water and fire in nature. What does this mean? Let’s talk about water and fire in nature first, you know, water is moisturizing, that is, water always flows down, while fire is up, and fire always jumps up. This is in nature. How water and fire work. Then look at how water and fire work in the human body? If one wants to maintain health, the fire of the heart must descend to ride the water of the kidney, and the water of the kidney must rise to help the fire of the heart. Imagine, inside the human body, if fire goes up and water flows down, how can the five internal organs of the human body fit together? Then who and who will lose the connection and mutual force. Some people always have insomnia at night. Among all the causes, there is one reason, which is called heart-kidney incompatibility in traditional Chinese medicine.
当肾水不足的时候，心火就会亢盛，那反过来，当心火不足的时候，肾水就会亢盛。这就有点像搏弈，不是你强就是我弱，不是你进就是我退，不是你攻就是我守。这又有点像两个人在压翘翘板，你那头撅起来，我这头准落下来。你常会听到人们说心脑疾病，为什么要把心和脑放在一起呢？心和脑又是什么关系呢？心和脑之间的关系，与肾有脱不了的干系。怎么讲？心火上亢，人的记忆力就会下降，记忆力是脑力的一种，而人的脑髓和骨髓，是同一种东西变出来的，那是什么？就是肾精，肾内所藏的精华和精髓。所以，肾主骨，其出处在此。大脑和肾是通过人体后背上的那条督脉连在一起的，当肾水不足的时候，大脑中的髓海就会变得空虚，记忆力自然就会下降。晚上失眠是肾阴虚之象，要知道“多念则精散”，也就是说，念头太多，想事太杂。多思，主要侧重说一个人有意识地考虑事情，而多念，则主要侧重说一个人注意力不集中，静不下来，睡觉都难得深度睡眠。
念头那么一动，在中医看来，你就是在损耗肾阴了，肾是藏精之地，念头一多，肾精就会亏损。人小时候就知道玩，没心没肺的，什么也不想，所以肾精很足，精力充沛，能折腾，可一上年纪，就会整天想这念那的，心事和心思太多，不想去想，那大脑都停不下来，所以，中年以后，肾虚是很普遍的现象，现在有的年轻人也肾虚了。时代不同了，生存环境变了，30年前，人们还没想得那么多，那时大学毕业国家还包分配，单位好赖先不说，总归是有单位接收，总算有个工作干着，现在，许多人是大学一毕业就失业，找工作不是一件容易事，加上现在社会上的人际关系那么复杂，办公室政治又风起云涌的，任谁也很多思多虑。在这里分享一个治失眠的小绝招，具说很灵验的：晚上睡觉时，用耳朵去听自己的呼吸声。呼吸属于肺金，耳朵属于肾水，金水相生的原理。夜晚是养阴之时，睡觉就是养阴，很重要。
