I can talk to my internal organs

Chapter 66 Definition of Health

"Doctor Lu, why do I feel like my chest is a little hot?"

"Is it hot or hot?"

"Hmm~ It's warm, and it's quite comfortable."

"Okay, that's all for today's acupuncture treatment, and I'll prescribe another medicine for you."

Warm heat means that it is not evil heat, so the tonic and diarrhea this time is considered to have achieved its purpose.

Xin Yang turned his head back, and the next step is to use medicine to supplement the Qi and blood on Wei Jun's body.

Don't look at Wei Jun's fat body now, and think that he doesn't need supplements. Many people's fat is actually puffiness, such as overwork, people will become fat due to overwork.

Just like the original parts of your body can only support your normal operation at one hundred and fourteen, but when it reaches one hundred and eighty-two hundred, the parts will be overloaded.

This time, Lu Jiu did not prescribe Longdan Xiegan Decoction to Wei Jun, but Xiaoyao San.

The main function of Longgan Xiegan Decoction is to clear away heat and dampness, soothe the liver and dredge the collaterals, while the function of Xiaoyao Powder is to soothe the liver, relieve stagnation, nourish blood and strengthen the spleen.

Obviously, the latter is more suitable for Wei Jun's symptoms.

When he came to the medicine cabinet, Lu Jiu started to grab the medicine.

Roasted licorice, angelica, poria cocos, white peony root, Atractylodes macrocephala, Bupleurum, ginger, mint.

In this prescription, Bupleurum is the monarch drug, which can soothe the liver, relieve depression, and reconcile the exterior and interior. White peony root and angelica are ministerial drugs. The combination of the two together with Bupleurum can nourish blood, soften the liver and regulate qi.

In the process of eliminating pathogenic factors with drugs, it is also very easy to damage righteousness, just like taking medicine will deplete yang, and this righteousness is actually the qi of our spleen and stomach.

The three herbs of Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and Zhigancao are originally the medicines in Sijunzi Decoction. This prescription is a classic prescription for invigorating the spleen. The three of them are used as the adjuvant medicine of Xiaoyao San, which can strengthen the spleen, dispel dampness, keep qi, and harmonize the stomach. Finally, mint and ginger are used as two envoys to promote lung qi and dispel stagnation of liver qi.

After grabbing the medicine, Lu Jiu handed it to Wei Jun.

"This is medicine. Take it. After you go home and drink it, record your body's reaction, such as how you sleep at night, whether the pain in your body is relieved, whether you can pass the stool easily, etc. Record it every day, which can be used as a data for your recovery in the future." Lu Jiu said.

In fact, Chinese medicine observes the human body very meticulously, especially for the state of health and disease, and has very strict standards at the macro level.

To put it simply, Chinese medicine divides the state of a person into three levels. The first is the state of health, that is, the state of no disease. At this time, our body is in a state of balance between yin and yang, and we can eat, sleep, and move without any discomfort. At this time, there is no problem with the functioning of the internal organs.

The second level is symptoms, which may be coughing, inability to sleep, pimples on the face, pain in the body, any discomfort, anyway, it is a problem that is not noticeable at ordinary times, and it is beginning to stand out at this time.

In Chinese medicine, it is called imbalance of yin and yang, which may be caused by your own emotions, food, or weather.At this level, most people are just deficient. Some deficiencies can be detected by equipment, such as fever caused by weak defense qi, and some deficiencies cannot be detected, such as spleen deficiency and diarrhea. Oh, yes, this level is also called sub-health.

When we have symptoms, if the physical quality itself is relatively good, then these problems will gradually disappear as time goes by. However, some symptoms are more stubborn. If they are left alone, or the treatment is not thorough, then it will slowly evolve to the third level, which is the so-called illness.

Of course, it is not impossible to treat illnesses with Chinese medicine, but compared with the stage of symptoms, after illnesses, especially some difficult diseases, there is really no way for low-level Chinese medicine.

That’s why Chinese medicine does not cure the disease and treats the disease. If you have symptoms, you can find a Chinese medicine doctor. Even if you can’t meet some top Chinese medicine practitioners, you can still have a good curative effect.

Through such a macroscopic health standard, Chinese medicine can judge whether the direction of treatment is correct based on the patient's feelings. As long as the patient can eat, drink, walk and sleep after the initial discomfort, and the body does not feel any discomfort, it means that the treatment is over.

As for the amount of blood lipids, blood pressure, or high or low blood sugar in the patient's body, it doesn't matter, because no matter how accurate the data is, it cannot replace each patient's own "feeling".

"Doctor Lu, should this medicine be taken after meals?" Li Xiaxia asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot to say that this medicine is to be taken before meals." Lu Jiu said.

"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" records, "If the disease is above the chest and diaphragm, eat first and then take the medicine; if the disease is below the confidant, take the medicine first and then eat; if the disease is in the blood vessels of the extremities, it is better to eat on an empty stomach; if the disease is in the bone marrow, it is better to be full and at night."

This is actually the way the ancients figured out how to take medicine based on the changes in the world and the functions of the five internal organs of the human body.

In the morning when yang qi rises, there is no food in the stomach and duodenum, and there is no barrier of food qi. The medicine can quickly enter the intestines and fully exert its effect. This is the disease in the blood vessels of the limbs.

If the disease is below the chest and abdomen, such as stomach, spleen, liver, kidney and other diseases, it should be taken before meals, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of the drug.

Above the chest and diaphragm is the heart and lungs in the upper energizer. Take medicine after meals, food qi occupies the middle energizer, blocks the medicine qi in the upper energizer, and carries the medicine qi upward to infuse the heart and lungs to overflow the whole body to play a role.Some medicines for treating colds and coughs, phlegm and cough medicines, including medicines for headaches and chest pains, are suitable to be taken after meals.

If the disease is in the bone marrow, it should be full and at night, that is to say, the pathogenic factors have penetrated or lingered for a long time, penetrated into the bone marrow or damaged the essence of energy and spirit. With the help of natural Qi mechanism, the energy will be restrained at night, which is conducive to the medicine to reach the sick place.

If you just take the medicine with three meals a day, the power of the medicine cannot reach a specific place at a specific time, and its curative effect will be somewhat reduced.

Lu Jiu had forgotten this in the past, but the question Li Xiaxia asked was to remind Lu Jiu to tell him the specific time when he asked the patient to drink the medicine.

"Oh, Doctor Lu, we can drink this medicine after we go back." Li Xiaxia said.

"En." Lu Jiu said.

"Doctor Lu, how much is it?" Li Xiaxia asked.

"The consultation fee is 50 yuan, the acupuncture is 89 yuan, and the prescription is [-] yuan. The total is [-] yuan." Lu Jiu said.

Less than a hundred?
Li Xiaxia and Li Xiaxia were slightly taken aback.

This... Are you sure it's not doing charity?
