Abstract：Master of traditional Chinese medicine Xue Boshou advocates the"harmony and integration"philosophy,which emphasizes"respecting the harmony of the Dao,harmonizing while embracing differences,reconciling disharmony to achieve harmony and integration".He is skilled in applying the broad concept of harmonizing methods to treat various diseases and syndromes.For the pathogenesis of insomnia characterized by the disharmony between Yin and Yang and the imbalance between water and fire,he uses the Lily Bulb formula to nourish heart Yin and reduce heart fire,while employing formulas such as Kongsheng Zhenzhong Dan and Liuwei Dihuang Wan to nourish and guide kidney water.This approach facilitates the harmonious interaction between the heart and kidney,water and fire.Combined with emotional regulation and guidance tailored to the etiology,the body is restored to a state of Yin-Yang harmony,achieving significant therapeutic effects.A representative case is included for illustration.
