I can talk to my internal organs

Chapter 85 Can hunger exercise stomach qi?

"Uncle, are you usually thirsty?"

"Thirsty."

"Would you rather drink it hot or cold?"

"Cold, hot... can't drink it."

"Is the bowel movement smooth?"

"Uh...not very good."

"What's wrong with it? Can you be more specific, such as urinating incessantly, or short and short?"

"Just take a piss... stop for a while."

"What about the color?"

"Yellow, with bubbles."

"What about poop?"

"Oh, I haven't pulled it out for three... four days."

"Will there be any swelling in the stomach?"

"Yes, after the meal, er... after a long time, er... it can't go away."

"Well, stick out your tongue again and let me see, yes, grow up..."

Red tongue and yellow fur.

Looking at the uncle's face, it is red, has bad breath, slightly swollen gums, and short hiccups from time to time.

This is obviously a reversal of the stomach fire.

Conditioning this disease is also easy to solve, just clear the fire and lower the adverse, and harmonize the stomach to stop the uh.

The prescription is bamboo leaf gypsum soup, the prescription in Treatise on Febrile Diseases.

The traditional Chinese medicine used is a total of seven flavors, light bamboo leaves, gypsum, pinellia, Ophiopogon japonicus, ginseng, roasted licorice, and japonica rice.

Of course, Lu Jiu didn't copy the prescriptions. He still asked the patients to choose from the books. If they had a smartphone, they would take pictures. If they didn't, they would copy them with pen and paper.

In short, Lu Jiu was very strict and never gave anyone a chance to catch him.

Who knows if there is anyone in this crowd who uses a mobile phone to record, right?

"Uncle, drink less alcohol in the future, and eat less fatty, sweet and delicious food. Otherwise, even if your problem is cured now, you will recur in the future, and if your eating habits don't change, it will directly hurt your stomach gas. If this thing hurts, then I can only congratulate you. You can go to a big hospital to handle VIP services. Then you will be their most loyal member." Lu Jiu said.

The uncle was dumbfounded, "No, uh...it's not such an exaggeration."

"Exaggeration?" Lu Jiu looked around, "Let's recall, some old people in the family passed away. Did they stop eating much before they passed away?"

Among the onlookers, several uncles and aunts in their 50s and [-]s nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, when my mother left, she couldn't eat for two or three days."

"My dad did the same. One week before he left, he could only eat half a bowl of porridge. One day, after two or three days, he couldn't eat anything. At that time, we felt that Dad couldn't hold it anymore."

"Doctor Lu, what's the reason?"

"..."

Like everyone else, the uncle looked at Lu Jiu curiously.

Lu Jiudao, "Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to stomach qi. We say that if there is stomach qi, we will live, and if there is no stomach qi, we will die. To put it simply, stomach qi is equal to appetite. Having an appetite means that our body can still absorb nutrients. At this time, whether we eat or take medicine, the body can digest them. But once we lose our appetite, we can’t eat anything, or we can’t digest anything. If there is another disease, it will be difficult to cure?"

Insufficiency of the spleen leads to numerous diseases, and failure of the stomach makes it difficult to apply all kinds of medicines.

why?
You can't even eat food with very low medicinal properties, let alone traditional Chinese medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine does not mean that it can work after taking it in. It has to be transported and transformed by the spleen and stomach before it can go along the meridians.

This is also why many Chinese medicine practitioners don’t care what disease the patient has when they treat acute and severe illnesses. They just ask if you can eat.

Because when a person can't eat anything, the internal organs will lose their nutritional supply. At this time, it is basically impossible to save the gods.

Eating fat, sweet and delicious food often, overeating, always makes the stomach full, which is constantly consuming our stomach gas.

These actions are undoubtedly killing!
"But uh... Doctor Lu, I have a good appetite, uh... ah." The uncle said.

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "A good appetite doesn't mean you can eat whatever you want. Your stomach fire is caused by eating too much spicy and greasy food. If your stomach fire goes against it, it will take your stomach gas away. After a long time, you can see if your appetite is still good."

"You can't er...don't eat it, I think some people er... eat it, isn't he still fine?" Every time the uncle said a word, he hiccupped several times.

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "That's why we say that everyone's physique is different, and we live in the plains, so we are not suitable for eating these things all year round. If you go to the Sichuan Basin, then ignore it, but in Jianghan, you can't eat like this."

"Is there such a saying?" The uncle was very curious.

"Hey, you don't understand this. As the old saying goes, one side of the country supports the other side, and the customs and habits of each place have their own reasons." Someone said.

"That's right, we were born here and grew up here. Our bodies have long adapted to the geographical climate here, and our spleen and stomach are naturally too. Although the living conditions are better now, out-of-season fruits and vegetables, frozen foods stored for a long time, etc., used to be only available to princes and ministers. But as long as we have money, we can eat whatever we want. However, if we don't pay attention to everything at this time, and eat and drink all day long, the disease will come." Lu Jiu said.

"Doctor Lu, in other words, as long as a person loses his appetite, it means his stomach qi is damaged?" Someone asked.

Ok?
Lu Jiu looked for the voice and found that this person was wearing a white coat, and he looked like a doctor.

"You are……"

Seeing Lu Jiu asking himself, Guan Wei smiled and said, "Don't you even know who I am when you block my door?"

The onlookers couldn't help laughing, "Doctor Guan, why aren't you angry?"

Guan Wei said with a smile, "Why am I angry? I have been working in this clinic for five or six years, and there have never been so many people coming to join in the fun. I am too happy to be happy."

After finishing speaking, Guan Wei looked at Lu Jiu again, "Doctor Lu, you haven't finished teaching yet. Since Chinese medicine believes that stomach qi is very important, you must know how to nourish stomach qi."

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "Dr. Guan knows about Chinese medicine?"

Guan Wei explained, "Actually, I majored in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Of course, after studying this major, I only know a little bit about Chinese medicine. I don't know anything about syndrome differentiation and treatment, yin and yang and five elements, and those Chinese medicinal materials. But after learning some things in Chinese medicine, I also know a little about looking at complexion. For example, if there is a problem with the spleen and stomach, sometimes people have melanin in their noses. This big brother's nose is black."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately looked over.

Indeed, the nose is a bit black.

Many people thought it was the mole brought by the big brother. According to Guan Wei, the relationship is caused by a problem with the spleen and stomach, which leads to the black pigment on the nose.

When Lu Jiu saw what he said, he knew that Dr. Guan was not ignorant. He probably only knew some theoretical things and didn't know how to use Chinese medicine to treat diseases.

"Didn't your teacher teach you this when you were in school?" Lu Jiu asked.

Guan Wei said with a smile, "The Chinese medicine teachers in our school are not Chinese medicine practitioners. When I took us to the Chinese medicine hospital for an internship, I never saw him take the pulse. They all opened the equipment for examination, and they didn't talk about stomach gas. And at that time, the teachers who taught Western medicine in our school generally looked down on Chinese medicine, especially the teachers of pharmacy. In the 45-minute class, there were three 10 minutes of cursing Chinese medicine. What do you think I can learn?"

Guan Wei's self-mockery is actually a common phenomenon in medical universities nowadays.

Those who know Chinese medicine don't have time to teach, and those who have time to teach don't know Chinese medicine.

Many students who like Chinese medicine are admitted to university, and after five years of wasting away from school, facing the pressure of life, how many of them still insist on Chinese medicine?

Even if you persist and finally go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in a third-tier city, it turns out that it is full of instrument reports, what should you do?
Medicine, especially Chinese medicine, needs a lot of practice to learn, just like Western medicine students need a lot of operations to become experts in this field, not book knowledge.

Now that there are so many hospitals across the country, how many pure Chinese medicine hospitals can allow Chinese medicine students to practice and learn after graduation?

The current teaching model and employment environment of Chinese medicine are completely incomparable with Western medicine. On this basis, Chinese medicine has to compete with Western medicine in terms of curative effect.

Is it fair?
Everyone knows it's not fair.

But what can be done?

Lu Jiu didn't ask Guan Wei again, but continued to popularize science, "Hehe, there are many types of people who have no appetite. The first one is food accumulation. If a person is full for a long time and eats too much food, the spleen will always work overtime. Once it gets tired, the food stored in the stomach will stay and eventually form food accumulation."

"The stomach belongs to the internal organs, but it cannot be full. If you always fill the stomach to the full, over time, it will hurt your stomach qi, and your appetite will be poor. The second is lack of temper. The food you eat is a normal amount, but you have fewer workers involved in digestion, which will also lead to loss of appetite. The third is the lack of stomach yin. According to Western medicine, it is gastric juice. Temper is the kinetic energy that dominates digestion. Wars cannot be fought."

"The fourth is that the liver qi is uncomfortable. When the liver qi cannot be ventilated normally, it will affect the spleen and stomach. Muketu, let's use a simple analogy. When you are very angry because of something, your face turns red. After this happens, do you lose your appetite for food?"

"The last factor is that the heart yang is insufficient, fire produces earth, and the kinetic energy of temper comes from the heart fire. If the heart yang is insufficient, the energy of the heart fire is not enough. If it is not enough, how can the excess energy be transferred to the spleen, right?"

Everyone is a little confused!
so complicated!
do not understand at all.

Stomach qi and temper, stomach yin, as well as discomfort of liver qi, deficiency of heart yang, etc.

These things are too difficult to understand. Fortunately, when Lu Jiu said these terms, he still had some popular explanations.

Otherwise, they really wouldn't understand a word.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Shi immediately smiled and said, "Actually, looking at these factors together, if you want to maintain a good stomach qi and maintain a good appetite, in fact, there is only one word, hungry!"

what?
Hungry can maintain a good appetite?
Everyone is dumbfounded again!
"Doctor Lu, are you kidding me?" someone said.

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "Of course I'm not joking. When I say hungry, I don't mean that you don't want to eat, but that you don't want to eat too much. Every time you eat, try to control the appearance of being seven or eight percent full. It's the kind of food that you feel that you can eat a few more bites, and stop immediately."

"One more thing, every time you feel hungry, you don't have to rush to eat. Hunger means that your stomach gas is moving, and it is sending you a signal to give it food quickly. If you don't control it, let it eat every time it is hungry. If it is still full, or if it doesn't cry hungry, you can feed it. If you get used to it for a long time, you will spoil your stomach."

"It's the same as raising a child. You just get used to it. When he grows up, he will be a giant baby. He won't listen to you and won't say anything. When he is strong and strong, if you dare to disobey him, he can still beat you. Of course, we can't be too harsh. It's not okay to just refuse to eat. Everything must be in a discipline, balance, neither too much nor too little. This is what I have always wanted to tell everyone."

"Many of our illnesses are caused by our emotions and living habits. It is either too much or too little. It is always difficult to find a balance point. Once there is a problem with the body, we only know to find a doctor and never think about it. Solve it by yourself. This is actually wrong."

"Chinese civilization has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are many dynasties with long life spans. But these people's longevity has never been dependent on doctors. Doctors can only solve people's minor ailments, but they cannot prolong life. Rather than seeking medical treatment, it is really better to ask yourself. Ask yourself, have you really taken your body seriously after living for so many years?"

"If not, then why do you complain that your body is not good when you are sick?"

Lu Jiu's voice fell.

Everyone couldn't help being silent.

It seems to be such a truth!

It is right to seek a doctor when you are sick, but it is a bit wrong to seek only a doctor when you are sick.

"Excellent, Dr. Lu, may I ask, are you a teacher or an academic?" Guan Wei looked at Lu Jiu with admiration. It was the first time he had seen someone who could explain the theories of Chinese medicine so vividly. He didn't know if other people could do it. The teachers in their school must not be able to do it.

Those people can't wait to turn a sentence into a book, no matter how complicated it is.

Lu Jiu was quite straightforward. Although some remarks may be arbitrary, there must be mistakes in intercepting them, but a comprehensive analysis does not deviate from the main point.

"Half and half." Lu Jiu said.

Guan Wei guessed it.

Only with a solid foundation of Chinese medicine, combined with modern medical theories, can we use the words of Western medicine to explain the things of Chinese medicine.

Although many places are far-fetched, as long as everyone can understand and know how Chinese medicine works, even if there is only one point of knowledge, such as Lu Jiu's saying that hunger can nourish stomach qi, that's enough.

The reason why Chinese medicine is not widely spread is that there are too few language styles in the form of labels.

For example, diabetes, which includes many symptoms and diseases, if you tell the patient one by one, the patient will not understand at all, but as long as you mention diabetes, the patient will immediately understand.

This is the advantage of tagged language style!
Because it is simple and clear enough for people to understand at a glance!
Lu Jiu's current science popularization, in a sense, can be said to be learning from barbarians but not controlling barbarians.

This strategy of following the mass line seems to offend people and make no money, but as long as his medical clinic reopens, his momentum may no longer be matched by anyone in Yuanlin Street.

Anyone who dares to move him will move this group of people.

Guan Wei couldn't help laughing secretly.

A Chinese medicine doctor doesn't read medical books, so it's outrageous to think that Mao chose it!
