It is generally believed that because doctors have a better understanding of diseases, medical theories, and pharmacology, they can objectively distinguish and treat patients according to their conditions, and prescribe drugs based on their illness, and they have no scruples, so they are often effective.

However, when treating oneself or one's family, there are often more associations and worries, worrying that a certain medicine is hot, a certain medicine is cold, a certain medicine is harmful, and a certain medicine is toxic.

I prescribed the medicine, carefully changed the smell of the medicine, and adjusted the medicine again and again. In the end, the prescription is formed in a way that violates the law of compatibility with the monarch and the minister, and the medicinal power is sharply reduced; the dosage of the medicine is inconsistent with the four characteristics of cold, heat, temperature and coolness, and the purpose is not clear, resulting in the result of not only ineffective correction but also fruitless exorcism, and the curative effect is naturally poorer.

Most people think that "self-treatment is not self-healing" is determined by this kind of "self-cherishing" human nature and "worrying" mentality, but in fact, this is not necessarily the only reason.

If it is used for itself, it will be very inconvenient to look at the color, smell and pulse, although there is a mirror to help, but in the end it is difficult to obtain accurate information; in the pain, the judgment and rationality are also relatively reduced, which will have a direct impact on the diagnosis and treatment ideas, which is probably one of the reasons.

Therefore, no matter what you say, how is it formed that doctors do not treat themselves, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult for doctors to do it themselves in the face of this situation.

Ever since Ye Chen studied medicine with his grandfather, he knew the truth of not treating himself. However, he does not seem to believe it, and likewise does not follow this unwritten rule.

Therefore, even if those villagers in the village are sick, whether it is him or grandpa treating them, they are 100% cured.

On the contrary, if you can't even cure the illness of the villagers in your own village, let alone that other people don't believe in your medical skills, I'm afraid that even you will doubt your own medical skills.

Now in view of Liao Lao's gray hair, Ye Chen knows that he has a way to cure it.

When he was about to show Liao Lao, Liao Bingxue said, "Let's finish dinner first." ”

Ye Chen could only go to the kitchen to help take out those dishes and chopsticks, and wait until Liao Bingxue had made four dishes and one soup, and the three of them sat at the table for dinner.

Ye Chen usually has a meal amount equal to three or four people, and Liao Bingxue has long known this point. Therefore, when she cooked for Ye Chen, she also cooked enough rice. Now that Ye Chen has finished eating first, he is already very full, and it is even more comfortable to sit back on the coffee table and drink a cup of tea.

It was Liao Lao's turn to finish eating and sit down on the sofa, Ye Chen asked him to rest for a while, and then showed him the situation of the white hair.

Generally speaking, there are few white heads, which is a person who may have a large number of gray hairs at birth, and the most important reasons for this situation are congenital hereditary reasons, but there are other reasons, such as malnutrition, or lack of certain elements in the body.

In addition, gray hair has senile gray hair, and when people get old, their hair also turns white, which is naturally a very normal law, and the law of life, such as birth, old age, sickness and death.

It's just like Liao Lao's case, it's different. Although he is also in his sixties, he belongs to the old man. However, on his original hair, there was only a very rare white hair, and the rest was black hair, and the reason why Daozhì appeared like this was the reason why he was worried about his granddaughter in Xiaowang Village that time.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Liao Lao's gray hair overnight is naturally completely different from the normal appearance of gray hair.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, hair is closely related to the liver and kidney, the kidney stores the essence and liver main blood, and its bloom is in the hair, the liver and kidney deficiency is insufficient sperm and blood, and the hair follicles do not get sufficient nutrition. On the contrary, if the liver and kidneys are strong and the head is honored, the hair is thick and black.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "hair is more than blood", and the growth of hair comes from the nourishment of qi and blood. If the qi and blood are strong, the hair growth is normal. If the qi and blood fail, it will not be able to go to the head and cause the hair to turn white.

The cause is nothing more than three aspects: excessive blood fever, liver depression and spleen dampness, and weakness of essence and blood.

Blood fever is prevalent, and the patient's emotions are excited, resulting in water not covering wood, liver and blood dryness, blood heat is excessive, and hair roots are not nourished, so they are prematurely white.

White-haired people with high blood fever type, hot constitution, easy sweating, red lips, easy thirst, and dry stools. In this case, it may be that there is more blood fever, that is, among young people, most people belong to this category.

Liver stagnation and spleen dampness, stagnation of liver qi, damage to the heart and spleen, dereliction of duty in spleen injury, and no source of qi and blood biochemistry, so gray hair.

For the white-haired people with liver depression and spleen dampness, this type of people work overtime for a long time, stay up late, and engage in mental work, due to long-term work pressure, resulting in liver qi stagnation, damage to the heart and spleen, and after the spleen is injured, the transportation function will be abnormal, forming stagnation, so that the source of qi and blood is insufficient, so the hair nutrition is not good, which is also easy to cause gray hair.

The essence is weak and the blood is weak, the kidney essence is insufficient, and the yin blood cannot be metamorphosed, and the yin blood is deficient, and the hair is not nourished, so it is gray. The typical symptoms of people with white hair such as deficiency and blood fever are soreness in the waist and knees, sensitivity to cold, poor sleep quality, and easy fatigue.

In Liao Lao's condition, gray hair overnight obviously belongs to the transition of worry, panic, and fright, resulting in a high concentration and tension of nerves, which consumes more blood, thereby affecting the blood supply to the head and causing gray hair.

Of course, Liao Lao himself is an old man in his sixties and seventies, even if he is very good at health conditioning, compared to young people, he is already weak and weak, during that time, because of the situation in the plague area, staying up late for a long time, under long-term pressure, it will also cause liver depression and spleen dampness, plus other conditions, because Liao Bingxue was infected with the plague at that time, the situation was strict, he was even more excited, worried and filtered, causing blood fever to be excessive.

The causes of the three lead to gray hair, all of them exist, and Liao Lao caused gray hair overnight, which is normal. Of course, if the treatment is unilaterally for Liao Lao's situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cure.

Therefore, now Ye Chen waited until Liao Lao drank a few cups of tea, and after talking to him about the situation in this regard, he checked his tongue and pulse, and then combined with Liao Lao's other conditions.

For example, whether there will be easy sweating, easy thirst, etc. These, although Ye Chen saw that Liao Lao was in good spirits, but if he really wanted to ask clearly, Liao Lao also knew that he was usual, compared to before he went to the plague area, his mental state was not so good.

Soon, after Ye Chen finished the examination, he also finished the dialectic, and after determining Liao Lao's situation, he referred to Li Shizhen's drug records in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", as well as the prescriptions of ancient Chinese medicine for the treatment of gray hair, and prescribed a prescription based on He Shou Wu and black sesame seeds.

Because Ye Chen is now writing a prescription for Liao Lao, he doesn't need to be as rigorous as writing other medical records, just write out the dialectics of Chinese medicine, the treatment of Chinese medicine, and the prescription.
