Rural Chinese Medicine Li Maoyang

Chapter 32 Treating Asthma with Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Li Maoyang made persistent efforts to report the diagnostic conclusion of the hearing diagnosis: "The patient is short of breath and breathless when talking. This is Qi deficiency, and there are signs of old phlegm in the lung meridians."

"The diagnostic conclusion of the host's auscultation and diagnosis is basically correct, and the deduction of the effect of the medicine will be rewarded!" The system mechanical voice said again.

"The patient reported fatigue and shortness of breath, sweating easily, and catching colds very easily. This is due to yang deficiency and fatigue, weak Wei Qi and unable to absorb nutrient fluid, and the accumulation of old phlegm in the lung meridians!"

"The conclusion of the host's consultation and diagnosis is basically correct, and the drug effect will be deduced once! May I ask the host to combine the two rewards into one reward for the system to prescribe medicine for the patient?"

Hearing the system's verdict, Li Maoyang decided in his heart: "Go!"

Now he doesn't have to worry about how to prescribe medicine to the patient Narenta.

"The host, please continue with the pulse diagnosis below. This system will prescribe medicine for the patient after the host completes the fourth diagnosis!" the system said.

Li Maoyang began to give Na Ren Tai a pulse diagnosis.

This time the pulse diagnosis took more than ten minutes, Na Rentai was very calm, because Yan Xiaorong had already told him that Li Maoyang's pulse diagnosis took a long time, which showed that Li Maoyang was really serious about the pulse diagnosis, not just pretending.

As a result of the pulse diagnosis, Li Maoyang felt that the pulse of the patient Na Rentai was slow, and the system affirmed his diagnosis.

Naturally, a little bit of opportunism cannot be avoided in this, but it is really delicious to get a reward for deduction of medicinal effects again, and this reward should naturally be kept for the next time.

Next, the prescription prescribed by the system for Na Rentai is:
Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Fangfeng, white silkworm, cicada slough, earthworm, scorpion powder, licorice.

Li Maoyang thinks carefully about this prescription. Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Fangfeng are the formula of Yupingfeng San, which can strengthen the defense and strengthen the surface, improve the body's surface defense function, and prevent wind and cold from invading the body at any time, which can effectively reduce the frequency of asthma attacks.

White silkworm, cicada slough, earthworm, and scorpion are insect medicines.

Insects are good at drilling holes and crawling. Compared with elephants, general insect medicines can dispel wind and reduce phlegm, activate blood and dredge collaterals.

So many insect medicines are used in this prescription, which can largely dissolve the accumulated phlegm in the lung meridians and expel the wind evil in it.

This is one of the fundamental measures.

In addition, astragalus, atractylodes, and licorice can also replenish qi and spleen, which can supplement the yang in the body, and naturally strengthen the transportation of water to avoid more phlegm dampness in the body.

After using so many medicines, one medicine is needed to reconcile the properties of all medicines. Licorice root is for this purpose. It is known as the old medicine in China, and it is the number one "peacemaker" in the world. Drug contradictory.

In addition, licorice is sweet in taste and yellow in color, and it is the easiest to act as a guide to guide the medicinal power into the middle scorched spleen soil, which is also a very good introduction to medicine.

This prescription was prescribed smoothly and neatly, and the proportions of the medicines were properly proportioned. It can be said that the medicinal power is extraordinary.

Li Maoyang secretly thought about this prescription, and made such an evaluation.

With the solid foundation of medicine, his grasp of medical science and pharmacology is getting stronger day by day.

"Uncle, I'm still short of a few medicines here. You can come and get the medicine tomorrow. I'll give you acupuncture first."

After Li Maoyang recorded and analyzed the prescription, he said a word to Na Ren.

"Okay." Naren agreed readily.

Most of the points selected for acupuncture and moxibustion for asthma are the points of the lung and bladder meridians.

Among them, the Yuji point of the lung meridian, Feishu, Pishu, Shenshu and other points of the bladder meridian, and Dingchuan point of the extra meridian are mainly used.

Acupuncture at these acupoints can clear lung qi, clear heat and relieve throat, calm asthma and relieve cough.

The old man Rentai came from Qunan Village panting, and he couldn't be allowed to go back panting like that, so Li Maoyang decided to treat the old Rentai man with acupuncture and moxibustion first, so that he would not be so strenuous when he returned to Qunan Village.

However, this naturally requires the cooperation of the patient.

Most of the acupuncture points that Li Maoyang wants to acupuncture are on the back. It is really hard to say whether or not Li Maoyang is allowed to give acupuncture. But this old man who is too Rentai trusts Yan Xiaorong very much, so he indirectly trusts Li Maoyang, who was recommended by Yan Xiaorong, and heard that he wants to give him acupuncture. On the back, without saying a word, he began to take off his shirt to cooperate.

Such a patient made Li Maoyang very comfortable, unlike the old man Zhang Shan in his village who still looked down on him and went to the town to see Qiao Chunwang.

Hmph, he, Li Maoyang, must treat the old man Rentai well for his asthma, let the old man Zhang Shan see, his medical skills are not bad now!

Now his acupuncture and moxibustion techniques are able to get Qi, that is, after inserting the needles into the patients, they already feel like a fish swallowing hooks, so the effect of this acupuncture is still good.

The next level is qi to needle movement, the breath in the meridians can stimulate the needles to pulsate, so the effect of acupuncture will be much greater.

It's a pity that Li Maoyang is still far from reaching this point. I heard that there are not many Chinese medicine doctors in the country who can do this.

However, his master could occasionally do this while he was alive.

It's just that Li Maoyang didn't learn how to do it.

While giving acupuncture to the old man Rentai, another person came to the clinic, Zhang Shan, an old man from the village with squinting eyes.

Li Maoyang concentrated on giving Na Ren Taixing the needle, but ignored him.

Hmph, today you look down on my medical skills, in the future I will have to wait in line for you to seek medical treatment from me!
But thinking about it, Qiao Guoguo's crisp voice of persuasion and encouragement appeared in his ears, and he still greeted the old man Zhang Shan: "Uncle Zhang, sit down!"

"Ah~hmm~" the old man Zhang Shan hesitated awkwardly, and while watching Li Maoyang giving Na Ren Taixing acupuncture, he said, "Maoyang, Dr. Qiao said that my asthma is best treated with acupuncture, but he is too busy. , I don’t care about coming to our Dukou Village often, and I don’t care about going often, that, Maoyang, can you give me acupuncture and moxibustion?”

"Yes." Li Maoyang said with boredom.

If you say you want acupuncture, just say acupuncture, why are you talking so much, as if I was your forced and helpless choice.

If you are capable, you can find someone else for acupuncture?
It also depends on Zhang Shan being an old man, and there is another old man who is too benevolent here, otherwise, according to Li Maoyang's temper, he will be thrown out directly, who is it!

"Ah, then after you give him acupuncture, can you continue to give me acupuncture?" The old man Zhang Shan asked again.

"I'm sorry, Uncle. I have to go to the town to buy medicine after I finish my acupuncture. Can you come tomorrow?" Li Maoyang said.

At the same time, he thought to himself, since the old man from Zhangshan came to him for acupuncture, Qiao Guoguo should have done some ideological work, right?
But finally, if he had the opportunity to be a little stingy, Li Maoyang would not agree to delay buying medicine for Na Rentai to take care of the old man Zhang Shan.

"Ah, that's it." The old man Zhang Shan couldn't say anything more, so he sat on the side and continued to watch Li Maoyang give the old man Rentai the needle.

Half an hour later, when Li Maoyang finished acupuncture for the old man, Na Rentai felt it and gave Li Maoyang a thumbs up: "Okay, Doctor Li, your acupuncture is much better than the two doctors I found last time." Already! I feel so much better!"

He has a straightforward personality, he can say whatever he wants, he is much more comfortable now than when he came here, and he is no longer panting so loudly.

Hearing what Mrs. Ren said, the old man Zhang Shan completely let go of his doubts about Li Maoyang's acupuncture skills, and hurriedly said to Li Maoyang: "Then I will come to you for acupuncture tomorrow, can you take care of Maoyang tomorrow?"

"It's okay, Uncle, come tomorrow. I'm going to buy medicine right now." Li Maoyang said softly.

At this time, he heard the system rewarded him for the curative effect of acupuncture and moxibustion, and rewarded him for prescribing the medicine once.

　I am very grateful to the book friend Taixuanqi for the reward!
