Chapter 796: Telling a Lie with Your Eyes Open

"This is...... Cupping?" Xu Nan is a Chinese after all, and he still knows about the artifact of cupping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Well, if you want to promote the drainage of congestion, cupping is the best choice. "Chinese medicine is such an amazing thing, sometimes some tools that don't seem very conspicuous, but they can make a big difference.

"Do you want to do it now?" Xu Nan asked as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.

"I've just given him acupuncture, and now the veins are not completely smooth, so I'll do it again in two hours. After that, Yang Xiaotian immediately fell on the hospital bed next to him, and after telling Xu Nan for two hours, he called him, and fell into a deep sleep.

Even though he is becoming more and more proficient in the Liuyun acupuncture method, and it is much easier to use it, but after all, this acupuncture method is really amazing, Yang Xiaotian is still a novice after all, even though he has now become a legend in the Stanford University School of Medicine, but it still can't change the fact that there is a big gap between him and Yang Songming in traditional Chinese medicine skills.

When he woke up again, it was already three hours later, and seeing that Yang Xiaotian was sleeping soundly, Xu Nan couldn't bear to call him. However, there was something to do, and Yang Xiaotian couldn't sleep well after all. Of course, the main thing is that Yang Xiaotian has improved a lot now, and it is much better than when he fell asleep directly after giving Xiang Dad an injection.

"Do these little things have such a great effect?" When Yang Xiaotian was fiddling with cupping, Xu Nan was a little unconvinced. After all, compared with the various types of machinery of Western medicine, the tools of Chinese medicine are really simple and a little pitiful.

Cupping therapy, also known as the "angle method", is a type of physical therapy, just like acupuncture, and cupping is one of the best therapies in physical therapy. Cupping has been circulated in our country for a long time, and it is a unique method of healing, commonly known as "cupping" and "suction tube". At first, instead of making pots, a horn tube with small holes was used to cover the affected area to drain pus and blood, but later, the horn tube was gradually replaced by bamboo pots, clay pots, and glass jars. Yang Xiaotian explained the history of cupping and its initial efficacy.

Cupping may seem simple, but it's very effective. Moreover, the initial effect is to suck out the pus and blood from the patient's wound, and it is naturally not difficult to use it to suck out the blood in Uncle Wen's body at this time.

"Bring some wet wipes. After the cupping was done, Yang Xiaotian began to take off Uncle Wen's clothes. Before fiddling with cupping, the steel needles on Uncle Wen's body had been taken off by Yang Xiaotian. At this time, Uncle Wen can already do cupping.

"Yes. Xu Nan nodded.

"Why are you taking off his clothes?" Karolinska had heard of Chinese medicine, but just like most people in the world looked at Chinese medicine, she still couldn't believe that with just a few simple jars, she could heal Uncle Wen's old wounds!

Uncle Wen's body, Carolynska has also been checked, and she has the data report of Uncle Wen's body in her hand. In one sentence, it is terminally ill!

"Brother Xiaotian, wet wipes. As he spoke, Xu Nan had already walked in with a large stack of wet wipes.

"Although Uncle Wen's body has been cleaned, it still needs to be disinfected. It's a pity that there are not enough tools here, generally speaking, after acupuncture, supplemented with moxibustion, the effect will be better. The mechanism of action of moxibustion is similar to acupuncture, and it has complementary therapeutic effects with acupuncture. Yang Xiaotian explained.

"That's right. Xu Nan suddenly realized.

"It's a pity that Chinese civilization has a long history, and many things have been lost like this. Yang Xiaotian sighed, now that Western medicine is popular in the world, although there are many people who know Chinese medicine, there are not many people who are willing to learn Chinese medicine.

After all, Western medicine has gradually developed into a relatively mature discipline because of seeking common ground while reserving differences, as well as academic exchanges between famous doctors. Due to the limitations of the situation, many famous doctors choose family inheritance, which leads to a situation of working behind closed doors.

Although there are also many medical books on Chinese medicine that have been circulated in the world, compared with the number of Western medical books that have been written now, it is a bit pitiful.

And more importantly, Chinese medicine requires much more time and energy than Western medicine. Western medicine is easy to get started, and there is a more detailed systematic guidance teaching philosophy. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, basically relies on experience.

"Xiao Nan, I'll try my best to rush over to help Uncle Wen get it again in the past few days, but once I can't come back if there's anything, it's up to you to give Uncle Wen cupping. Yang Xiaotian took a cupping cupping in his hand and said to Xu Nan at the same time. "Look, I'll demonstrate it first, today I will draw a map of the distribution of acupuncture points in the human body for you, you can memorize the distribution of these acupuncture points, and it is enough to do cupping. ”

"Yes. Xu Nan nodded heavily.

"Cupping is a simple method, but it is also very particular, if the method is not correct, not only can it not cure the disease, but it will make the disease worse. Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotian's tone was much more serious. "Before cupping, there are a few things that need to be taken care of. What I'm going to say next, you have to keep in mind. ”

"Before cupping, the pot should be washed and dried before the patient can lie or sit comfortably to expose the area to be cupped, and then light the fire into the cup. When igniting, generally use one hand to hold the can, the other hand to hold the ignition of the spies, the operation should be rapid, the fire spies in the tank for a few shakes and then withdraw, the tank quickly placed in the part to be treated; when the fire is still burning, the mouth of the can should be tightly covered in the affected area, can not wait for the fire to go out, otherwise it is too loose, not conducive to sucking out moisture, and it is good to have the mouth of the can to suck tightly on the body. Be careful not to heat the rim of the can to prevent burns. ”

While speaking, Yang Xiaotian had already pressed a jar on Uncle Wen's back, turned it slightly, and only picked up the second jar after the jar was already sucked firmly on his back.

Generally, the can can be removed after 15-20 minutes, do not forcibly pull the can when taking, do not deadlift and rotate, the essentials of the action is to tilt the can to one side with one hand, and press the skin with the other hand, so that the air enters the tank through the gap, and the can will naturally detach from the skin. Yang Xiaotian spoke carefully, and Xu Nan listened carefully.

"The next is called the canning method, which refers to grabbing the canister with one or two hands after the canister is covered, lifting it slightly, and pushing and pulling the canister to move on the patient's skin. It can be moved in one direction or back and forth. In this way, several areas are treated. When walking the can, you should pay attention to applying some lubricants to the part or the mouth of the can, such as glycerin, paraffin oil, gua sha oil, etc., to prevent straining the skin when walking the can. ”

"Brother Xiaotian, what did you just get...... It's called ......" Xu Nan said, naturally, it was the first jar that Yang Xiaotian had just pressed.

"That's just ordinary cupping, remember, when cupping, you have to choose a position with more meat, because this makes it easier for the jar to suck on the human body. When cupping, choose the appropriate size according to the size of the area of the cupping part. The operation must be fast in order to make the canning tight and adsorption powerful...... Forget it, you can watch it first, as for the more detailed things, I'll list them for you. ”

Yang Xiaotian spoke carefully, and Xu Nan listened carefully. But because he spoke too carefully, Xu Nan, who listened carefully, now had a confused look on his face.

After all, acupuncture points are not unfamiliar to Chinese, but if they are distinguished, they are very unfamiliar to most Chinese. Xu Nan has studied Western medicine since he was a child, not Chinese medicine, and at this time, he suddenly heard a lot of knowledge about Chinese medicine that Yang Xiaotian said, and naturally felt a little bit like a head and two big.

Since Xu Nan heard the theoretical knowledge a little vaguely, Yang Xiaotian simply stopped explaining, but directly used the actual demonstration to let Xu Nan see.

But cupping, as simple as it is, is not so easy to do. Xu Nan read it once, although he remembered some of it, but if he wanted to actually operate, it was still a little too fast.

After finishing all the jars, Yang Xiaotian asked Carolynska to help find some paper and a few colored pencils, and then began to draw on the paper. Although Yang Xiaotian is not a painting major, as long as he is studying medicine, whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, he is required to have a certain drawing ability.

After all, whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, when explaining to others. You can't always carry a medical book with you, right?

"This is the acupuncture point that needs to be cupping in the last week, and I will try to do it every three days. During this period, Xiao Nan, you will complete your graduation project first, and then go to other things. Of course, this was mainly said to Carolynska, Xu Nan was absent for several days, which had already annoyed Carolineska.

If Yang Xiaotian dared to take Xu Nan back to San Francisco in Carolineska's presence now, even if Yang Xiaotian was Carolynska's most proud student, it was estimated that Carolynska would be severely reprimanded today.

Moreover, Xu Nan can't be taken away after that!

The most important thing for students is to learn and nothing else. Everything must be done in a way that does not interfere with the completion of your studies. And now, before Xu Nan completed his graduation thesis, he went to San Francisco to accompany Yang Xiaotian. Even though Carolynska once persuaded Yang Xiaotian to find a girlfriend in the United States to vent her desires, but in this situation, even if Yang Xiaotian is suffocated, Carolynska will not let Xu Nan go to San Francisco!

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaotian finally chose to let Xu Nan stay in Palo Alto City and stay at Stanford University to complete the project.

"Count you as acquaintances. Carolynska threw Yang Xiaotian such a look, then turned to leave. Cupping, although she had heard what Yang Xiaotian had said, it was the first time she had seen it. And when Yang Xiaotian explained, because many things could not be translated in English, they were all explained in Chinese. Carolynska just handed over a jar, and the rest didn't need to be done.

"That ......"

"If the two love each other for a long time, how can they be in the morning and twilight?" Yang Xiaotian kissed Xu Nan lightly, and then turned to leave.
