After listening to Yan Shubo's narration, Director Li touched his chin and couldn't help dispelling this thought, he understood that his nephew had a few catties and taels, and it was impossible to finish reading "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" within a month, and even if he did, it was impossible to satisfy Liao Lao.

Director Li didn't think that he would let his nephew read the "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" several times, first, it would take more than half a year, and secondly, this kind of little trick could be seen through by Liao Lao at a glance, after all, he was an old man, and it was impossible not to see the flaws.

It seems that we still have to wait for the opportunity in a year, as long as Yan Shubo can't use traditional Chinese medicine to treat his illness, Director Li can do everything to make Liao Lao comply.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shubo went straight into the Audi car, but saw Liao Lao Chinese medicine reclining on the seat, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Yan Shubo felt the temperature in the car and felt a little cold, so he suggested: "Xingchun, do you want to turn on the air conditioner, be careful that the master catches a cold." ”

Liao Xingchun glanced back at Yan Shubo, turned on the air conditioner with a faint "um", and then stepped on the accelerator, and the car instantly disappeared like an arrow from the string.

Nothing to say all the way.

After returning to Liao's house and getting off the bus, Liao Lao TCM suddenly stopped Yan Shubo and said, "Shubo, when we went downstairs, it was Director Li who called you, right?"

Yan Shubo was stunned when he heard this, and said a little incredulously: "Master, how do you know?"

Old Chinese Medicine Liao smiled faintly and said, "With my behavior towards him, he will definitely call you to ask for an understanding." ”

Yan Shubo's face turned blue and white for a while when he heard this, and he was secretly a little afraid in his heart, it is not easy to deal with these old guys, but you have to be careful, in case you do something wrong and make the other party disgusted.

Old Chinese medicine doctor Liao did not ask Yan Shubo how to answer Director Li, but said with a smile: "Let's go, it's been a busy day, let's go soak in hot water." ”

"Hot water feet?"

"Well, yes, the twelve meridians of the foot syncope yin liver meridian, the foot less yang gallbladder meridian, the foot less yin kidney meridian, the foot sun bladder meridian, the foot tai yin spleen meridian, the foot yang ming stomach meridian, and the eight veins of the strange meridian Yang Wei pulse, Yin Wei pulse, Yin stilt vein, Yang stilt vein, and Chong pulse all originate from the feet, and the acupuncture points on the feet are the acupuncture points of various organs in the feet, and the foot soaking can accelerate the foot circulation, body metabolism, relieve foot and leg fatigue, improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood supply, and accelerate systemic metabolism. ”

"Wow, master, there are so many benefits to soaking your feet?"

"Well, foot soaking is a very important way of health care, add some mugwort leaves, ginger or something in hot water, the effect is better, but the time of foot soaking should not be too long, 20-30 minutes, the water temperature of foot soaking can not be too high, about 40 °C. ”

After hearing that foot soaking has so many benefits, Yan Shubo naturally has no reason to shirk it, and he also wants to see with his own eyes how the master soaks his feet.

After following the master to the living room, Yan Shubo saw that Master Zhang had prepared two large basins of foot washing water, which, as the master said, put mugwort leaves and ginger, and the water was steaming hot, obviously not long ago.

However, seeing that there were only two basins of foot washing water, Yan Shubo hesitated, as a new apprentice, he couldn't wash in front of the master and the master, and smiled at the moment: "I'm not in a hurry, the master and the master will wash first, and I will wash it after you finish washing." ”

Hearing this, Master Zhang laughed and said, "Shubo, what are you polite to us, Master Niang, I have nothing to do anyway." It's you, after washing your feet, you're going to be busy reading, you wash first. ”

Yan Shubo was about to resign, but he heard Liao Lao Chinese Medicine say with a smile: "Shubo, since you worship me as a teacher, you will be a family in the future, why are you so polite to wash your feet? ”

Yan Shubo couldn't help it, so he had to agree, and after quickly taking off his shoes and socks, he carefully put his feet into the footwashing water.

Xu is often washing the foot water, the water temperature is a little hot, at least in the range that can bear, after soaking for less than a minute, suddenly feel a hot air rushing up from the feet, the fatigue of the body is instantly dispelled, the whole person is refreshed, much more comfortable.

Looking at Yan Shubo's expression of enjoyment, Old Chinese Medicine Liao smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Yan Shubo nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Master, I feel very good, my whole body is much warmer, and the fatigue of my body has disappeared a lot." ”

Old Chinese medicine doctor Liao said with a smile: "Then you can come and soak your feet more, it is good for your body." In addition to relieving fatigue, it has many other functions. ”

Yan Shubo frowned lightly when he heard this, and said, "Master, can there be so many benefits of soaking your feet?

"Didn't I tell you when I entered the door, the three yin meridians of the twelve meridians all converge in the feet, and the five meridians of the eight meridians of the strange meridians also converge here, and there are more than 300 acupuncture points on the feet, most of which are below the ankles, so when soaking the feet, the foot washing water should cover the ankles. ”

"Foot wash over your ankles?"

"Well, most of the acupuncture points on the feet are concentrated below the ankles, of course, they have to cover the ankles, so that most of the acupuncture points can be stimulated. ”

Yan Shubo suddenly realized when he heard this, it turned out that there are so many things to soak his feet, which can be regarded as an eye-opener, if he let himself go to read, he still doesn't know that the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue can only come into contact with this knowledge!

Liao Lao TCM patiently explained: "Foot bathing before going to bed at night can improve sleep and communication between meridians. It can improve menopausal syndrome in women, as well as microcirculation on the soles of the feet. ”

Yan Shubo heard that his father appeared in his mind, and said without thinking: "Master, is washing your feet good for heart disease?"

Old Chinese Medicine Liao smiled when he heard this: "You want your father to soak his feet, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then you need to add some traditional Chinese medicine to the foot bath water, such as safflower, mugwort leaves, ginger, angelica, peach kernel, sumu and other traditional Chinese medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, as well as golden cherry seeds, epimedium and other drugs that warm the kidney and aphrodisiac, which can improve the body's physique. ”

"If you have dry skin on your feet, you can try to wash your feet with a potion made from peach kernels, almonds, winter melon kernels, and coix seeds mixed with hot water. For those who have pain in their feet when walking, they can use the grass that penetrates the bones, stretches the tendons, Sumu, angelica, and Sichuan pepper to make foot washing water. ”

Yan Shubo said with a look of surprise on his face when he heard this: "Master, there are so many things to pay attention to washing your feet?"

Liao Lao TCM smiled faintly when he heard this: "Soaking your feet is an important part of your health, and it is good for the prevention and treatment of many diseases, but it is useless to stick to it for a long time, and it is useless to soak it once or twice on a whim." ”

Yan Shubo nodded and said, "I know this, just like disease." As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Since diseases are formed by accumulation over a long period of time, health preservation and treatment must also be a long-term process. ”

Well, this is also one of the biggest differences between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which is why the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: do not treat the disease, treat the disease, do not treat the disorder, cure the disorder, this is also said. The husband's illness has become a medicine, and the chaos has become a cure, such as thirst and piercing the well, fighting and casting a cone, and it is not too late. ”

"I've heard the phrase 'cure the disease without curing the disease', but I don't know the specific situation, master, can you give an example?"

"For example, kidney deficiency can be diagnosed by taking the pulse and asking about symptoms, and there is no abnormality in the kidney function test of Western medicine at this time. ”

Yan Shubo nodded when he heard this: "This is true, I have seen many patients in clinical practice, Chinese medicine said that he had kidney deficiency, but the kidney function tests made in the hospital were all normal. ”

"Well, if you intervene at this time, it is what Chinese medicine says 'cure the terminal disease if you don't treat the disease', and when there is a problem with the kidney function test, it is a big problem with the kidneys, and it is okay in the early stage, and when the kidney fails, it is basically powerless, and there is no way for Chinese medicine to take it, at least for now. ”

Seeing Yan Shubo's contemplative look, Liao Lao TCM likes him more and more, this kid has a keen eye that ordinary people don't have, many things can be understood as long as they are a little bit, and if they are cultivated, it is not impossible to become the next Zhu Danxi, the only pity is not the Liao family.

Yan Shubo didn't know what Liao Lao TCM was thinking, after digesting what the master said, he inexplicably thought of acupuncture in his mind, since he came to Liao's house, he had never seen the master use acupuncture, and asked carefully: "Master, I have a question I want to ask you, do you know acupuncture?"
