Chief Physician Chen Yi is a mentor in the fourth national cohort of the program for inheriting the academic expertise of senior traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. With more than four decades of clinical experience, he possesses exceptional medical skills and extensive practical knowledge, excelling in the diagnosis and treatment of complex internal medicine conditions, particularly distinguished by his unique approach to the syndrome differentiation and therapeutic management of insomnia.
Chen Yi’s approach to treating insomnia emphasizes syndrome differentiation based on the zang‑fu organs, qi and blood, and yin and yang, with meticulous assessment of deficiency versus excess before determining the appropriate treatment. For excess patterns, it is advisable to drain the surplus—such as soothing the liver to resolve stagnation, descending fire and clearing phlegm, or regulating qi to harmonize the middle burner. Representative formulas include Huanglian Wendan Tang for clearing heat and harmonizing the middle, and Danzhi Xiaoyao San for soothing the liver and draining heat. For deficiency patterns, supplementation of what is lacking is indicated—such as tonifying qi and nourishing blood, strengthening the spleen, nourishing the liver, or benefiting the kidneys. Representative formulas include Tianwang Buxin Dan for nourishing yin and enriching blood, and Guipi Wan for strengthening the spleen and nourishing the heart. When an excess pattern persists over time, depleting qi and blood, it may transform into a deficiency pattern; in cases of mixed deficiency and excess, both purgative and tonifying therapies should be employed. Representative formulas include Zhibai Dihuang Tang for nourishing yin and reducing fire, and Suanzaoren Tang for nourishing blood, clearing the heart, and relieving restlessness.
