I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 99 Treating the Villagers

Liu Chuxia recalled some things about Sister Liu. She only knew that after she married into the village in her early years, she gave birth to a son and never got pregnant again. It had been seven or eight years since she gave birth to her first child.

Fortunately, the first child was a boy, otherwise in ancient times, she would have been looked down upon and criticized by her mother-in-law. In this era, the status of women was already low, especially in terms of childbearing. Whether she could continue the incense for her husband's family was considered the most important value of women.

Although Liu Chuxia was young, she had heard some rumors about Sister Liu in the village. Some said that she had health problems and that was why she had not been able to get pregnant again. Others said that she was destined to have only one son and that she would not be able to keep more children.

Sister Liu's condition was somewhat similar to that of Mrs. Yuan, but judging from her complexion, the symptoms were completely different. Xu Qingyi had a rough idea in her mind, but she still had to carefully confirm, ask and take her pulse.

“The abdomen is cold and painful. The symptoms get worse when you get cold. It’s very uncomfortable. Drinking hot water will relieve the pain.

Menstruation is less and delayed, and the color is also abnormal." Sister Liu said in Xu Qingyi's ear a little embarrassedly.

"Is this place cold and painful? Do you like to drink something hot?" Xu Qingyi pressed a certain spot on Sister Liu's abdomen through her clothes.

"Yes, it's from this place." Sister Liu nodded.

"Let me take her pulse again." Xu Qingyi nodded. She probably knew what illness Sister Liu had.

It's undoubtedly uterine cold.

The pulse is heavy and slow because the cold evil qi has the characteristics of astringency and stagnation, which makes the blood flow poor and the qi flow in the body stagnant, thus causing the pulse to be heavy and slow.

"It's a bit troublesome, but it can be cured. After it's cured, Sister Liu can get pregnant." After Xu Qingyi confirmed the cause of the disease for Sister Liu, she frowned slightly and said.

The disease of uterine cold not only requires long-term medication, but also moxibustion and acupuncture.

If Sister Liu only underwent this treatment, it would obviously not be enough.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Sister Liu looked at Xu Qingyi with surprise and asked.

With a look of anticipation, it seemed that the rumors in the village had tortured her mentally enough.

"Sister Liu, your illness cannot be cured in a short time. Not only do you need to take medicine for a period of time, but you also need moxibustion and acupuncture.

You can continue to take the prescription every day. I'll write down the acupuncture points. You can go to the town to see Doctor Wen for acupuncture and moxibustion every three days. What do you think?" Xu Qingyi pondered for a while before she said.

"I will listen to you, Qingyi."

Xu Qingyi prescribed Wen Gong San Han Decoction for Sister Liu.

This prescription can warm the meridians and stop bleeding, warm the stomach and regulate the middle. It is often used in modern clinical practice to treat symptoms such as deficiency-cold type metrorrhagia and menstrual abdominal pain. It is most suitable for Ms. Liu's current symptoms.

After writing the prescription, Xu Qingyi gave Sister Liu acupuncture.

Uterine cold can cause symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Zhongji, Sanyinjiao, Diji, Ci Liao and other main acupoints can be selected for acupuncture auxiliary treatment.

Then he called Qing'an over, and after removing the needle, he asked her to perform moxibustion on Sister Liu's Zhongji, Guanyuan, Shenque, Qihai and other abdominal acupoints as well as Sanyinjiao and Zusanli for half an hour.

Sister Liu had just finished acupuncture by Xu Qingyi, and after being treated with moxibustion on several acupoints, she slowly felt a warm current surging in her abdomen, gradually flowing to her limbs and bones, making her whole body warm, as if she was in the spring sunshine, and she felt extremely comfortable.

She had never experienced this feeling before. Even in the middle of summer, when she was basking in the sun, her abdomen still felt chilly, accompanied by an indescribable feeling of dullness.

But now, under the moxibustion, she seemed to feel her body emitting vitality again, and the warmth from the inside out made her feel extremely comfortable.

"Sister Liu, how do you feel?" Xu Qing'an asked Sister Liu, blinking his big eyes.

Sister Liu smiled slightly, with a gleam of gratitude in her eyes, "Qing'an, I... I feel much better. I have never felt so comfortable. Qing'an's medical skills are really amazing."

"My eldest sister is a great doctor, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to go to the county to study medicine and make pharmacy.

Sister Liu, listen to my elder sister, take the medicine and treat it well, she will definitely be able to cure your body. "Xu Qingan admired her elder sister very much, as if there was no disease that her elder sister could not cure.

Next, Xu Qingyi examined and felt the villagers' pulses and discovered that most of the elderly villagers in their village suffered from rheumatism and bone pain. In addition, due to years of hard work, poor diet and insufficient rest, many elderly villagers had developed chronic diseases.

Either they have rheumatic diseases, bone spurs, fat protrusions around the waist, or sciatica.

Seeing the physical condition of these villagers, Xu Qingyi couldn't help but frown. She knew that the diseases of these villagers did not occur overnight, but were the result of years of accumulation.

Moreover, most of these diseases are incurable and the only ways to relieve the pain are medication, acupuncture and massage.

Or, you can rest and recuperate, reduce physical fatigue and wear and tear, and maintain your body.

However, it is almost impossible for the villagers to rest and recuperate and maintain their health.

After being busy all their lives, if one day they are suddenly asked to stop working, they will not only feel uncomfortable, but also feel uncomfortable playing tricks on others.

Only by lying on the board can they stop.

Xu Qingyi sighed deeply. She knew the living conditions of these villagers. They were busy and busy every day, and few of them could spare the time to take care of their bodies.

If you are sick, you just fight it. If you can fight it, you naturally won’t go to see a doctor. Only when you really can’t fight it anymore, will you go to see a doctor. Often at this time, some people won’t be able to survive.

Xu Qingyi knows that it is not easy to change the living conditions of these villagers. However, she still hopes to do her part to help them relieve the following physical pains and improve their quality of life.

Xu Qingyi treated patients quickly and effectively. Before half of the afternoon, he had finished treating all the villagers.

She also asked some villagers who needed to take the medicine for a longer time to take it on time, and that she would take their pulses and examine their bodies and change the prescription after she returned to the village next time.

As for the villagers who needed acupuncture or moxibustion on the spot, after receiving basic treatment on the spot and feeling the pain in their bodies relieved, these villagers gave Xu Qingyi a thumbs up and exclaimed that Xu Qingyi was amazing.

When the other members of the Xu family saw that Xu Qingyi was praised and recognized by the villagers, Zhu, Zhang, Xu Dafu and others were all very happy and seemed to share the honor.
