Abstract
As conceived in Chinese Medicine, insomnia is closely associated with the zangfu heart and the mind shen. In the following paper I will describe three formulas, which nourish the heart and calm the mind in an effective way. However, they differ with respect to their medical indications according to western criteria and the syndromes, which they address.I will present Ziziphi spinosae Semen (suan zao ren) as an essential drug nourishing the heart and liver-blood and calming the mind. It forms part of the three formulas described.Various combinations of drugs containing Ziziphi spinosae Semen exert a synergetic effect on heart and mind, determining the specific therapeutic relevance of the chosen formula. Once again this illustrates the elegant and harmonious composition of Chinese formulas.Even though Chinese Herbal Medicine is very effective in treating insomnia, it should be incorporated into an integrated therapy.
