1 heart-kidney disharmony

What causes most insomnia in clinic? Heart and kidney don't pay? It is caused by insomnia. So-called? Heart and kidney don't pay? , refers to the disorder caused by heart and kidney. Refers to the pathological phenomenon of abnormal physiological coordination between heart and kidney. Most of them are kidney yin loss, and yin essence can't be passed on, so the heart fire is on the high side and they are lost in decline. The heart is in the upper jiao, which belongs to fire; The kidney is in the lower jiao, which belongs to water. Under normal circumstances, the yang in the heart falls to the kidney, which can warm and tonify the kidney yang; Yin in the kidney rises to the heart, which can conserve the yin in the heart. Heart fire and kidney water rise and fall, coordinate and communicate with each other, and maintain dynamic balance. Disharmony between heart and kidney refers to the pathological state of abnormal physiological relationship between heart yang and kidney yin.
