The theory of″warming with Qi for those with insufficient form″was first proposed in Huang Di Nei Jing,which means that the method of warming Yang and replenishing Qi can be applied to treat deficiency-type diseases caused by a decline of patients'Yang Qi.Elderly insomnia is often primarily caused by a deficiency of form and Qi,with the latter being the key pathological mechanism.Deficiency of Qi in the Five Zang can damage the Five Shen,leading to different types of insomnia.However,diagnosing insomnia should not be confined to ″deficiency″alone.According to the clinical manifestations of elderly insomnia,treatment can be applied separately through five warming methods:warming Lung Qi,warming Heart Qi,warming Spleen Qi,warming Liver Qi as well as warming Kidney Qi.Warming Lung Qi to nourish the Po,i.e.with Bufei Decoction along with Lung-dispersing herbs such as Jiegeng(Platycodon);warming heart Qi to nourish the Shen,i.e.with Guizhi Gancao Longgu Muli Decoction combined with blood-activating herbs such as Danshen(Salvia)and Danggui(Angelica);warming Spleen Qi to nourish Yi,i.e.with Guipi Decoction along with stomach-harmonizing herbs such as Shanzha(Hawthorn)and Jineijin(Chicken's gizzard lining);warming Liver Qi to nourish Hun,i.e.with Wumei Pill combined with liver-soothing herbs such as Chaihu(Bupleurum)and Xiangfu(Cyperus);warming Kidney Qi to nourish Zhi,i.e.with Jingui Shenqi Pill along with heavy-settling herbs such as Longgu(Ossa draconis)and Muli(Oyster).
