Chapter 425 Sheng Qiang's "Liver Stagnation"

The students in Zhongjing's class happily surrounded Li Yan and walked out of the activity room.

Only Jiang Bin sat at the end slowly, with no happy expression on his face.

Hearing the names of Li Yan and Guilin appeared together again, Jiang Bin felt that his hope of pursuing Li Yan became increasingly slim.

The students surrounded Li Yan and walked out of the activity room, feeling that the temperature was colder than that after the rain during the day, and the enthusiasm in their hearts was completely extinguished by the sudden chill.

The cold wind blew, and the students hugged their shoulders tightly, and couldn't help shivering.

I didn't expect the grassland city to cool down so fast. Everyone was enjoying the warm sunshine in autumn yesterday. After a rain, it felt like winter was approaching.

Li Yan saw that everyone was still wearing coats, only Sheng Qiang was wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

"Sheng Qiang, the temperature on the grassland drops very fast, you should pay attention to adding clothes in time."

Sheng Qiang is from Shandong, and he doesn't know how short autumn is on the grassland, so Li Yan kindly reminded him.

Sheng Qiang said with a nonchalant expression: "Thank you, Li Yan. My name is Chunwuqiudong. The old people in our village said that if you freeze in autumn, your health will be better."

Li Yan reminded: "The autumn on the grassland is much colder than your autumn in Shandong. Be careful that you can't hold the cold into your body. You will catch a cold tomorrow. Haven't you already signed up to join the activity preparation team? A cold will delay you." work."

Sheng Qiang is worthy of being an active member of the Warm Heart Society.

After the meeting, Sheng Qiang actively signed up and participated in the TCM science popularization lectures in the university town.

Sheng Qiang thumped his chest vigorously: "Don't worry! I am in good health, and I will definitely not catch a cold."

At dawn, the sun shines into the bedroom.

Sheng Qiang, who woke up from sleep, felt very uncomfortable, his head was dizzy, his nose was so stuffed that he couldn't breathe, and he even felt that the uncontrollable snot was about to flow out.

Sheng Qiang quickly got up and wiped his nose with the toilet paper beside him, but because of the soreness all over his body, he lay down on the bed again.

It was really hit by Li Yan. Sheng Qiang, who was covered in spring and frozen in autumn, really caught a cold yesterday when the temperature suddenly dropped.

Just when Sheng Qiang blamed Li Yan for his crow's mouth and himself for being unlucky.

There was a comfortable groan from the opposite bed: "It's been a long time since I slept so comfortably."

Chen Dong, who was on the opposite bed, sat up and also noticed Sheng Qiang's strangeness, and asked with concern: "Sheng Qiang, you don't feel well in your body."

With a strong nasal voice, Sheng Qiang said dumbfoundedly: "It was really hit by Li Yan, I really caught a cold."

Chen Dong blamed: "If you don't listen to me asking you to wear more clothes, you must really catch a cold now."

Sheng Qiang said: "This morning, please help me take a sick leave. My body is sore and I can't get out of bed at all."

Chen Dong got out of bed and found the medicine box in his closet, and handed a box of cold medicine to Sheng Qiang: "Take two Gankang pills, sweat a little, and sleep well."

Chen Dong turned around and took Sheng Qiang's water glass, took half of the glass and handed it to Sheng Qiang to take medicine.

Sheng Qiang took cold medicine and lay down slowly again.

After Jiang Bin and Chen Dong washed up, they left the dormitory to go to class.

After the first class, Li Yan saw that Sheng Qiang hadn't come, so she went to Sheng Qiang's classmates in their dormitory and asked, "Chen Dong, why didn't Sheng Qiang come to class today."

Li Yan wanted to come here yesterday to talk about something on the weekend, so she fell asleep very late.

He also came a little late for class, and did not see Chen Dong asking Sheng Qiang for leave.

"Sheng Qiang woke up with a cold in the morning, and his whole body was so sore that he couldn't get out of bed." Chen Dong recalled his changes this morning and asked, "Li Yan, I have something I want to ask you for advice."

Li Yan said: "What are you talking about?"

"Recently, I always feel a little irritable and can't sleep. I wanted to go to the infirmary to see it, but yesterday I suddenly slept better. I slept soundly for the first time in a week. You said my problem is all right. Are you alright?" Chen Dong told Li Yan about his physical condition.

Li Yan looked at Chen Dong's red eyes, and said, "Extend your hand, I'll give you a pulse."

Li Yan rested her fingers on Chen Dong's wrist, and felt the pulse in both of Chen Dong's hands.

Letting go of Chen Dong's wrist, Li Yan said, "Your heart and lung vessels are hyperactive. If your lung qi and heart fire don't drop, you'll naturally feel irritable and unable to sleep if the fire is stuck in your chest."

Chen Dong said: "But why didn't I suffer from insomnia yesterday, and I slept very soundly."

Li Yan said: "You have to thank the autumn rain yesterday, which made the temperature drop suddenly and cool down."

Chen Dong asked in puzzlement, "What does my irritability, insomnia have to do with the weather?"

Li Yan said: "Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the unity of people and nature. When the weather turns cold, the natural qi will sink, and the external qi will sink, which will naturally relieve your body's anger. The cool external environment will naturally suppress it." When you are restless, your sleep will naturally improve."

Chen Dong said, "So I'm fine now?"

Li Yan shook her head and said: "Of course not, your anger is still there, it's just that the cool weather relieves your anger, and you will still suffer from insomnia when the weather gets warmer."

Chen Dong asked: "Li Yan, what kind of medicine do you want to take?"

Li Yan shook her head and said, "You don't need to take medicine, just go to the pharmacy and buy some loquat leaves and soak them in water to drink."

At this time, Huang Xue who was beside him asked suspiciously: "Isn't the loquat leaf reducing Qi and relieving cough? How can it also cure irritability and insomnia?"

Huang Xue now actually knows that the effect of loquat leaves is to reduce qi and relieve cough. It seems that she has spent more than a month with Li Yan in vain.

Li Yan explained: "Although there is no record of using loquat leaves to treat insomnia, don't forget that Chen Dong's insomnia is caused by the hyperactivity of the heart and lung vessels, and the failure of lung qi and heart fire. If the fire doesn't fall, it's just like summer, and it's hot, so I can't sleep well."

"The loquat leaf is responsible for lowering the qi, just like the order to lower the qi in autumn, it lowers the irritated lung qi and heart fire in the body, just like the autumn rain yesterday, it cools down instantly from head to toe, sleep immediately Improved."

After listening to Li Yan's explanation, Chen Dong said, "I'm going to buy loquat leaves to soak in water today."

An autumn rain cooled the temperature, suppressed Chen Dong's anger, and improved his sleep.

It was also an autumn rain to cool down, but Sheng Qiang was suffering from a cold in the dormitory.

Sheng Qiang vaguely heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.

I don't know how long I slept, Sheng Qiang only felt that the clothes under the quilt and on his body were damp and very uncomfortable.

Sheng Qiang opened his eyes and saw his roommates coming back with books in their hands, and asked weakly, "What time is it, Chen Dong?"

"It's almost twelve o'clock now, I brought you lunch in the cafeteria, come down to eat something to replenish some energy."

Chen Dongsheng put his lunch on Sheng Qiang's study table and asked, "How is your health now?"

Sheng Qiang said: "After taking the cold medicine you gave me, the symptoms of the cold have been relieved a lot. The body ache is gone, the head is no longer dizzy, and the nose is no longer runny. It's just that the limbs are still a little weak, and It’s just that the whole chest feels swollen.”

Chen Dong said: "It's just a matter of time to come down to have some food and replenish some energy, so that the limbs will not be weak."

"Thanks, I'll give you the meal money later."

Sheng Qiang got off the bed slowly, sat at the study table to eat, and thanked Chen Dong for taking care of him.

After eating, Sheng Qiang went back to bed and lay down for a while, the weakness of limbs gradually disappeared, but his chest was still a little swollen.

Sheng Qiang didn't take the swelling of his chest to heart either.

The next morning, there was no class in Zhongjing's class.

As an active member of the club, Sheng Qiang felt that he was already in good health, so he went to the activity room after breakfast to help prepare for the first university campus lecture tour on Sunday.

Walking into the activity room, there are already sophomores and juniors preparing promotional materials for weekend activities.

Seeing Sheng Qiang coming in, a senior asked, "Sheng Qiang, you have recovered from your cold."

When Shengqiang didn't have classes yesterday, he should have come over to make preparations for the event, because he had a cold and felt unwell, so he was delayed.

"It's ready." Sheng Qiang asked, "Is there anything I can do for you, Senior?"

The senior pointed to a pile of roll-up banners that had been sorted out on the ground: "You put these roll-up banners into a box, these are the promotional materials needed on Sunday."

After Sheng Qiang agreed, he squatted on the ground and packed all the roll-up banners into the box, sealed the box with scotch tape, and wrote the contents inside with a marker on the box.

Just when Sheng Qiang stood up and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt severe pain in his ribs, and felt uncomfortable all over. He wanted to squat down to pick up the scotch tape on the ground, but his ribs were so swollen that he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't squat down no matter what.

Seeing Sheng Qiang clutching his ribs, the members around him hurriedly asked in pain, "Did you catch a cold that hasn't completely healed? If you haven't completely recovered, you should go back and have a good rest. We are here."

Sheng Qiang said: "My ribs are a little swollen, but the liver qi is stagnant."

Shengqiang previewed a lot of Chinese medicine classes, and I felt pain in my ribs, and thought it might be stagnation of liver qi.

An enthusiastic senior stepped forward and asked, "Tell me in detail where you feel uncomfortable."

Sheng Qiang told his brother about his discomfort.

"You really should be suffering from stagnation of liver qi." The senior said to Sheng Qiang: "Since you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest first."

Sheng Qiang clutched his ribs, said goodbye to all the seniors and sisters apologetically, and walked out of the activity room thinking: Recently, I have also taken a course for a while, and I have also previewed most of the "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine". Medication, conditioning and conditioning, you can't always have problems and ask others to fix them.

From a poor family in Shengqiang, he was able to work part-time and study, and he was able to actively participate in club activities.

This person has self-improvement from the bottom of his heart. Sheng Qiang often uses Zheng Banqiao's words as a mantra: drip your own sweat, eat your own food, do your own things, rely on the sky and the earth, rely on your parents and friends, you are not a good man.

Sheng Qiang thinks that he is suffering from stagnation of liver qi, and the qi mechanism cannot be dredged. With the confirmation of his seniors, he has more confidence in himself.

So he went to the infirmary and bought Xiaobupleurum granules.

After returning to the dormitory and eating Xiaochaihu granules with confidence, there was no reaction at all, but the growth became more serious.

Finally, Sheng Qiang couldn't stand the pain and went to the study room to find Li Yan.

"Li Yan, my ribs are swollen and painful. After eating Xiaobupleurum granules, it doesn't help. Why do I get more swollen?"

Li Yan put down the book and slowly listened to Sheng Qiang's disappointment.

While checking Sheng Qiang's pulse, Li Yan smiled wryly at Sheng Qiang's boldness and fearlessness.

Li Yan smiled after hearing this: "Sheng Qiang, you are so brave. You dare to prescribe medicine for yourself after just a few days of learning Chinese medicine. You go to the infirmary and ask them to cook a bowl of ephedra soup for you."

"I have a cold. I have no headache, body pain, runny nose, fever or cold. Why do I have to eat ephedra soup?"

Sheng Qiang couldn't understand why Li Yan asked him to drink ephedra soup, but he felt pain in his ribs, which was due to stagnation of liver qi.

Li Yan said with a smile: Our Chinese medicine has nineteen pathogenesis, one of which is the stagnation of all qi, all of which belong to the lungs. "

After hearing Li Yan's words, Sheng Qiang looked at Li Yan blankly.

The nineteen items of pathogenesis are the contents of the "Huangdi Neijing", of course Sheng Qiang doesn't know if he doesn't have them.

So, Li Yan said he was bold and fearless.

Li Yan explained: "Although your symptoms of a cold are gone, your pulse is still a little floating, which means that the disease is on the surface, or the function of opening and dispersing the lungs is out of balance, so the qi is stuffy in the chest cavity."

Sheng Qiang still asked doubtfully: "But my rib swelling is not liver stagnation? Didn't Xiao Chaihu Decoction treat bitter mouth, dry throat, dizziness, and fullness of breast and ribs, but it can be used once it is confirmed? "

Li Yan said with a smile: "Xiao Chaihu Decoction, reconciling Shaoyang, its conditioning disease is located between half the surface and half a mile, so patients with liver stagnation in the middle energizer can use it. Mahuang Decoction regulates the disease on the surface of the upper energizer lung." , so symptoms such as exogenous wind-cold cough and stagnation of chest-lung qi mechanism, but with floating pulse, can all be treated with Mahuang Decoction.”

This ephedra decoction is not only designed for dispelling wind and cold, but it can relieve lung depression when used well, because ephedra relieves depression and is good at ventilating the lungs.

After the lung qi is opened, the internal and external air mechanisms will convect, and the depression will be easily resolved, and it will be destroyed without attack.

Li Yan asked: "It's like we close all the doors and windows, isn't it depressing to stay inside?"

Sheng Qiang said a little bit: "Of course I'm depressed."

I went on to say: "This kind of depression, even if the fan is turned on inside, the internal and external air mechanisms do not convect, is it still depressed?"

Sheng Qiang nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Yan smiled and said, "So, you just need to open the doors and windows, won't you be depressed?"

Sheng Qiang nodded mechanically.

Li Yan said: "Mahuang soup can open the [-] dry pores of the human body, allowing you to convect internal and external qi, and your heart will soon be relieved of depression. And like Xiaochaihu soup and Xiaoyaosan, it is like a fan inside, allowing the internal The air machine is just spinning."

"You are feeling the wind and cold first, which belongs to the closed depression of the exterior qi. After eating Gankang, the lung qi was not completely released, which left the sequelae of depression. Turn around, the depression will be scattered."

Sheng Qiang patted his forehead and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, it doesn't mean that people who are depressed must use Xiaoyao San, Bupleurum Shugan San or Xiaochaihu Decoction. As long as the medicine for soothing the liver is opened, the stagnation of lung qi will disappear."

Sheng Qiang said: "Li Yan, thank you!"

Seeing Sheng Qiang leaving in a hurry, Li Yan shook her head helplessly.

Sure enough, Sheng Qiang drank a dose of ephedra soup in the infirmary, and after sweating at night, the chest tightness and rib swelling disappeared the next day.
