Abstract
Objectives: Insomnia is a common disease in the general population. The purpose of this paper was to suggest that insomnia subtype of blood stasis can be effectively treated with Danggwisu-san and acupuncture. Methods: This is a clinical case report of a patient with chronic insomnia that was diagnosed with blood stasis subtype. I treated him with Danggwisu-san (Dangguixu-san) two to three times daily and with acupuncture and moxibustion two to three times weekly. Results: After short-term treatment, the patient was gradually recovering from deteriorating chronic insomnia and multiple accompanying symptoms such as severe constipation, spontaneous bleeding and edema, darkened face, depressive moods, etc. Conclusions: Results revealed a possibility that chronic insomnia subtype of blood stasis may be successfully treated with Danggwisu-san and acupuncture and moxibustion.
