李姓患者（左侧脉象）：素来有肝阳偏亢的问题，此次因情志抑郁不顺，再加上“一阳来复”（冬至后阳气初生），导致肝阳上升，整夜无法入睡。病症属于内因引起，急需开阔胸怀，以顺应肝木条达舒畅的本性。

王姓患者（右侧脉象）：隔宿的事情还能记得，说明神志没有昏乱。神志既然不昏乱，却整天酣睡，呼唤不应，绝不会有这样的睡态。面色青，左脉大，舌色无光泽。这是中气无力，阳气全部向上冲冒，导致肾阴不能上交，阳气浮越而少阴病发生。《金匮要略》中只有少阴病有“但欲寐”（只想睡觉）的条文，此处使用桂枝汤来调和阳气，参考介类潜阳的方法。如果阴不与阳交，阳不与阴接，再进一步恶化，就是阴阳离决的局面，令人担忧之处在此。

二诊：昏蒙迷糊稍见清醒，面色青色较前减退，左脉稍收敛，但仍然神志迷乱如同睡着，时常伴有胡言乱语。阳气上冲尚未平复，煎熬津液形成痰浊，神机更加闭塞。
打算在潜阳之中，参考开郁化痰的方法，必须取得疗效，才能承诺治愈。

三诊：阳气稍得潜藏，上部耳鸣大幅减轻，下部大便通畅，坎离（心肾）稍得济助，昏蒙略微清醒，面色青晦稍退，舌色稍显华泽。只是中脘部位仍然觉得疼痛，右关脉稍觉沉实。中气虚弱，宿积未清，阴阳稍通，但坎离仍未互抱。打算从阳引阴，从阴引阳，仍参考消导滞气的药物，符合胃腑以通为降的宗旨。

四诊：昏蒙迷糊嗜睡大幅消退，目光逐渐显得灵动，面色青晦也逐渐转为红润。这确凿可见是阳气上冲，不能下交于阴，导致少阴之气不能上承。中脘拒按的症状已化解，虽然属于积滞下行，也未尝不是脾土中的肝气得泄所致。只是遍身疼痛，大概是由于营血失于涵养，肝风进入筋络。再用参归桂枝汤加减，仍参考介类潜阳的方法。

六诊：神气逐渐恢复正常，胃气也逐渐苏醒，浮越上冒的阳气既已得以下潜，所以大便不攻自下的情况屡次出现。但是遍体疼痛，这是血虚风邪入络。宜养血和络，所谓治风先治血。

七诊：大便非常艰难，最终却不需攻下也能顺畅排出，肝火得以下行，面色已转红润，神志渐显灵慧。只是腹中疼痛，遍体酸疼。经络中被风邪阻滞，肝气也未疏解平和。再滋养肝体，不要疏泄肝用。

Patient Huang (Left pulse): Dizziness and heaviness of the head and eyes, nausea, and a dull sensation in the stomach. Insomnia throughout the night due to unbalanced rising of Yang Qi, resulting in disharmony of Stomach Earth. Treatment aims to harmonize the Stomach and extinguish Liver wind.

Follow-up: Awakening without ability to sleep again, accompanied by dizziness and heaviness of the head and eyes. This is caused by insufficiency of True Yin, where Water fails to assist Fire. Expand upon the previous method.

Another visit: Sleep has slightly stabilized, but the interaction between Water and Fire remains difficult. Further refer to methods for regulating the ascending and descending of Water and Fire.

Patient Li (Left pulse): Previously prone to hyperactive Liver Yang. Due to emotional frustration and depression, combined with the renewal of "One Yang" (initial generation of Yang Qi after Winter Solstice), Liver Yang rises, causing insomnia throughout the night. The condition belongs to internal causes; urgently need to broaden one's mindset to comply with the free-flowing nature of Liver Wood.

Second visit: Rising Yang has gradually flattened, and sleep is possible after waking. However, the substance of the Liver is now deficient; treat from the perspective of nourishing and softening.

Patient Zhu (Left pulse): Using salty-cold herbs to nourish Yin, and bitter-draining herbs to descend Fire. Slept well throughout the night, and seminal emission did not occur. Since the medicine is effective, expand the prescription further.

Patient Wang (Right pulse): Can still remember events from the previous night, indicating that Shen (Spirit) is not confused. If Shen is not confused, yet sleeps soundly all day and cannot be awakened, such a state of sleep is impossible. Face is green, Left pulse is large, tongue lacks luster. This indicates weak Middle Qi, with all Yang Qi rushing upward, preventing Kidney Yin from ascending. Yang Qi floats, leading to Shaoyin disease. In the *Jin Gui Yao Lue*, only Shaoyin disease mentions "drowsiness" (Dan Yu Mei). Here, use Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) to harmonize Yang, referencing bivalve shells to subdue Yang. If Yin does not interact with Yang, and Yang does not connect with Yin, progressing further leads to a separation of Yin and Yang, which is the cause for concern.

Lao Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, two slices) Dazao (Jujubae Fructus, two pieces)
Second visit: Confusion has slightly cleared, green color of the face has faded somewhat, Left pulse has contracted slightly, but Shen remains confused as if asleep, occasionally accompanied by incoherent speech. Upward rushing of Yang has not subsided, refining body fluids into phlegm, further obscuring the Shen mechanism.
Plan to incorporate methods for opening stagnation and resolving phlegm within the strategy of subduing Yang. Only upon achieving efficacy can a cure be promised.

Third visit: Yang has slightly submerged. Tinnitus at the top has significantly decreased, bowel movements are smooth below, Kan and Li (Heart and Kidney) are slightly assisting each other, confusion has slightly cleared, green-dull complexion has faded somewhat, tongue shows slight luster. However, pain persists in the Zhongwan area, and the Right Guan pulse feels slightly deep and solid. Middle deficiency and old accumulation remain uncleaned; although Yin and Yang have slightly connected, Kan and Li do not yet embrace each other. Plan to guide Yin from Yang and Yang from Yin, still incorporating herbs that grind down stagnation, aligning with the principle that the Stomach Fu organ promotes descent through unblocking.
Renshen Xu (Ginseng Radicula, separately decocted and taken as slurry, Si fen) Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum, Yi qian) Yujin (Curcumae Radix, Wu fen, ground and taken as slurry) Chao Fan Zhi Qu (Medicated Leaven, stir-fried, Yi qian wu fen) Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Wu fen, ground and taken as slurry) Sheng Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma, Yi qian wu fen, powdered) Muli (Ostreae Concha, Yi liang) Fuling (Poria, San qian) Zhi Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum, Er qian) Longgu (Draconis Os, San qian) Kongsheng Zhenzhong Dan (Confucius' Pillow Treasure Pill, San qian, take first)
Fourth visit: Confusion and drowsiness have largely receded, eyes show increasing agility, and the green-dull complexion is gradually turning rosy. It is evident that this was caused by Yang Qi rushing upward, failing to descend and interact with Yin, resulting in Shaoyin Qi failing to ascend. Rejection tenderness at Zhongwan has resolved; although this belongs to the downward movement of accumulation, it may also be due to the release of Liver Wood within Spleen Earth. However, generalized body pain is likely due to Ying and Blood failing to nourish, with Liver Wind entering the sinews. Use Shen Gui Guizhi Tang (Ginseng, Angelica, and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) with modifications, still incorporating bivalve shells to subdue Yang.

Fifth visit: Confusion has receded, and Stomach Qi has slightly recovered. However, speech is occasionally disordered, and there is inner restlessness and irritability. This should be attributed to Yang Qi disturbing the Shen; further incorporate calming the Spirit methods.

Sixth visit: Shen Qi is gradually returning to normal, Stomach Qi is awakening. Since the floating and rushing Yang has been able to subside downward, bowel movements have frequently passed spontaneously without purgatives. However, generalized body pain indicates blood deficiency with wind pathogen entering the collaterals. Should nourish Blood and harmonize collaterals, as the saying goes, "To treat wind, first treat the Blood."

Seventh visit: Bowel movements were very difficult, but ultimately passed smoothly without purgation. Liver Fire has descended, complexion has turned rosy, and Shen has become more agile. However, abdominal pain and generalized soreness persist. Wind pathogens are blocking the collaterals, and Liver Qi is not yet smooth and harmonious. Continue to nourish the Liver substance, without dispersing its function.

After taking two doses, remove Qingpi and Guishen, add Zao Ren Er qian, Chen Fushen San qian, Longchi Si qian, and Yejiaoteng Si qian.
