Objectives : By analyzing and comparing indications, components and their doses of herb medicines, which were recorded in insomnia chapters of medical books, we examined historical changes and made clear documentary ground of medications. Methods : 1. 10 books which were noted in insomnia part of "The Eastern Medical Textbook of neuropsychiatry" and 13 books were mentioned in same part of "Uibujeonrok" were selected as reference. 2. We searched article database such as KISS, riss4U and journals issued by the Korean society of oriental neuropsychiatry. Finally, 39 books which were noted in 3 literature reviews, were chose as reference. 3. In reference books, we collected the herb medicines in chapters related to insomnia. 4. In case of no section associated with insomnia in books, we found prescriptions related to insomnia in whole chapters. 5. If the chief virtue of medication was not primarily for insomnia, we excluded applied or added herb medicines. 6. We classified prescriptions into small groups which had same name, and then rearranged them in chronological order. Results and Conclusions : 1. Banha-tang(banxiatang) of "Hwangjenaegyeong Youngchu" was the first-recorded prescription used for insomnia. 2. The chapter of insomnia appeared in "Chunkeumyobang" at first. 3. Ondam-tang(Wendantang) was most cited prescription in medical books. It was recorded totally 19 books from "Chunkeumyobang" to "Hyeoljeungron". 4.

${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$ is the greatest and oldest book on oriental medicine. It contains all the basic theories of oriental medicine. OB&GY in oriental medicine have been developed on the foundation of ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$. However no intensive gynecological studies on ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$ has been performed to this day. Hereupon, an investigation on OB&GY in Hwang Jae Nai Kyung is done for future theory and clinical study. The phrases that contain OB&GY are totally 24 in the chapter 16 of Somun and total of 9 in the chapter 8 of Youngchu. Phrases dealing with pregnancy were total of 9, which was the most frequent. Also statements about amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, bleeding, discharge, menstruation, jangdam, sukga, postpartum, infertility were found. Hence, more studies of OB&GY in ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$ is needed in order to verify and apply the theories stated in ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$.

We got some conclusion like below. after comparison and consideration mainly with commentary of "Somun(素問)", "Uihakyimmun(醫學入門)"about pulses, reasons, symptoms, treatments of HaeYok. The name of Haeyok was appeared "Somun(素問)", "Youngchu(靈樞)" for the first time, and from then 'Treatment From Pulse' was promoted into details. About the Pulse of Haeyok, every doctor followed the 'chokmaekwansaek' mentioned in "Somun Pyoungingisanglon(素問 平人氣象論)". But the letter 'wan(緩)' in 'chokmaekwansaek' was translated not pulse but drooped skin in "SomunKumsok(素問今釋)". On the reasons of Haeyok, we can lot out in detail like next; (1) heat of liver and abdomen, lack of blood. (2) declining Gi, little blood, (3) declining and little Gi of spleen, (4) Lack of Gi and Blood, (5) weak kidney energy, (6) nutritional vacancy, (7) no energy circulation from hardened kidney, (8) exogenous disease on void kidney (9) both weak meridian of liver, kidney. And it can be divided broadly into two groups; weak liver and kidney, declining and little Gi of spleen. The symptoms of Haeyok is that patient feels cold, but really that is not cold, feels weak, really not weak, feels vigorous but not. So hardly be named. the members are exhausted, people get lazy, annoying, sick. and have no vitality. Treatments about this, some prescriptions are suggested such as Baekhaptang(白合湯) from "Naekyoungsupyoubanglon(內經拾遺方論)", Yishintang(利腎湯) from "Hwangjesomunsonmyoungbanglon(黃帝素問宣明方論)". In "Dongyanguihakdaesajon", there's some treatment according to some reason; when we are lazy and don't know where is sick, use Haryoungmansudan(遐齡萬壽丹) or Shinsongijedan(神仙旣濟丹), When it is from Liquor, use Galhwahaedokdan(葛花解毒丹), When from humidity use Gamichulbutang(加味朮附湯), from cold use Ganghwalchunghwatang(羌活沖和湯), and when it comes from instable menstruation, it will be good Gamisoyosan(加味逍遙散). And treatment principle from "Uihakyimmun(醫學入門)" is that "Circulate Gi and blood, be thin skin, prescribe exogenous disease over for void organs."
