Chapter 11: Yin and Yang I

Zhou Quanlin got up early in the morning and studied the classics, and on this day he read the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", and read that there is such a sentence in "Su Wen: Yin and Yang should be like the Great Treatise": "Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, the house of the gods, the cure must be sought in this way." "It seems that yin and yang are the way of traditional Chinese medicine, and yin and yang are also the root of healing. Folk say that "Western medicine treats the symptoms, and Chinese medicine treats the roots", and the root here is yin and yang.

There is also a sentence in this discourse, "Yang gives birth to yin and grows, and Yang kills Yin and hides", the first half of the sentence talks about the changes of spring and summer, and the second half of the sentence talks about the alternation of autumn and winter. Spring has arrived, the days are getting longer, the temperature is slowly rising, and you can feel the continuous growth of yang energy. "Yang turns into qi, yin takes shape", all things that belong to yin begin to flourish with the growth of yang, a thriving scene. Yang Qi here refers to energy, and the increased supply of energy promotes all things represented by Yin to gain more energy and flourish. In the second half of the sentence, the yang killing is almost released in the autumn, and it gradually turns into the collection, and all things in the world do not get enough energy in the autumn and winter, and the growth tends to stop, gradually withering and withering.

The infinite mysteries of nature are all changed from the unity of yin and yang opposites, and this state repeats itself, and the infinite development is like a circle, just like the yin and yang diagram. When it is received to a certain extent, it must be grown and released; At a certain stage, it will be collected and organized. Therefore, Su Wen also has a sentence "Heavy yin must be yang, and heavy yang must be yin." "Yin and Yang complement each other, a process of mutual transformation, the principle of health preservation is often mentioned in the lectures of famous experts, the principle of treatment and health preservation are the same, how young and old, whether light and strong or old, is the changing relationship between yin and yang. To understand this truth, we must regard life as a marathon run, a 100-meter sprint is not necessary, but also have to plan for the long term, the arrangement of life is a big change, and the traditional theory of Chinese medicine can guide the principle of health preservation.

Zhou Quanlin's deepest experience is the process of this yin and yang transformation, and there are many cases that are diagnosed and treated according to this principle.

……

Zhou Quanlin came to Jingyan Village, Qingfeng Township, and went to the village committee to find the village director Zheng Kui, the village director was not there, but the village assistant Hu Shulan was in the village committee, sitting sadly.

"Assistant Hu, is Director Zheng here?" Seeing Hu Shulan's restless appearance, Zhou Quanlin felt that something was wrong.

"Doctor Zhou is here, come in and sit here and rest for a while." Hu Shulan saw that the long-awaited little miracle doctor Zhou Quanlin was here, and people suddenly became energetic.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhou Quanlin saw that Assistant Hu was very enthusiastic, so he let go and asked the reason.

"Director Zheng went to the township for a meeting, and I'm on duty here! If there is something at home, I don't dare to leave. ”

"What's the matter, can I help?" When Hu Shulan heard Zhou Quanlin say this, her eyes lit up.

"You can really help, my father is sick, dizzy, lying on the pit all day and can't move, you said that people who are only in their sixties, just don't eat and can't move, then it's not going to be bad."

"What's wrong? Been sick for a few days? Didn't you go to the township health center to take a look? Zhou Quanlin understands the diagnosis and treatment consciousness of the villagers, and he will not go to see it if he doesn't drag it out, but listening to Hu Shulan's introduction, her father's illness is not light, and if he doesn't eat or move, he is a serious patient!

"I went, and the township hospital said that my father's illness was Meniere's syndrome, and it would be good to go home and raise it, and I was prescribed some medicine, but I didn't get better after taking it, so I was very worried." It can be seen that Hu Shulan is a little restless.

"Then take me to your house quickly, the old man's illness can't wait, I'll show the old man."

"Great, I'll find someone to replace me, and I'll take you to the house right away." Hu Shulan went out for about ten minutes and brought a sturdy man back.

"This is Zhou Quanlin, Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou is a veteran in our village who has just changed careers - Guan Xiangbei, he is on duty for me, let's go, I'll take you home to see my father." Zhou Quanlin shook hands with Guan Xiangbei, and then followed Hu Shulan to see her father Hu Jiaxiang.

When I arrived at the courtyard where Hu Jiaxiang lived, there were three tile houses in the courtyard, and there was a horse shed on the side, a snail was tied to the horse pillar, and a big car was parked in the yard, it seems that the Hu family was still well-off, with Hu Shulan entering the house, the house was neat and dry, and there was a tall old man lying on the pit, in fact, the age was not clear on the surface, I heard Hu Shulan say that he was over 60 years old, and Hu Jiaxiang was younger than his peers. A middle-aged woman walked in from outside the house, dressed in a neat plain gown, she dusted off the ashes on her body, put the dustpan in her hand on the grain bag in the middle room, and came in to make room for Zhou Quanlin to sit down.

"Shulan, you invited the doctor, please sit down!"

"Mom, this is Dr. Zhou Quanlin, his medical skills are good, Dr. Zhou came to make a round, so I quickly invited Dr. Zhou here. Western medicine didn't cure my dad, Dr. Zhou is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and Chinese medicine can go to the roots. Hu Shulan affectionately put her arm around her mother.

"You are Shulan's mother, I heard that Shulan's father is sick, let me take a look." Zhou Quanlin said very softly, Zhou Quanlin was not very sure about Hu Jiaxiang's illness, and he didn't know what his condition was, and no doctor would say big things.

"Great, a big doctor came to see the doctor, and my old man was saved."

"There is no big doctor, I will definitely do my best, I will give Uncle Hu the pulse first." Hu Shulan hurriedly shook Hu Jiaxiang awake, helped her father's hand over, and let Zhou Quanlin see it.

"Take your time, take your time." After speaking, he put his three fingers on Hu Jiaxiang's hand, and after looking at it, Zhou Quanlin pondered for a moment, and then asked Hu Shulan's mother, "Aunt Hu, can you introduce Uncle Hu's illness?" ”

"A week ago, the old man was asleep, and suddenly sat up, and I was also scared to wake up, because he said that his heart was beating so badly that he almost didn't hold back, and said that there was a surge of air under his navel, and then he was planted on the ground, and I couldn't pull him with all my might, and then I called the child up and helped him up. When the old man got up, he said that he had a headache, dizziness, and that it was dark, and that the whole room kept turning, and he was very flustered, and then he didn't dare to move anywhere. ”

"Are there any other symptoms? Throwing up? ”

"I vomited, and I was still dripping."

"How long does it take?"

Hu Shulan took it and said: "My father, I have been dizzy for more than ten minutes, and I faint when I move, several times, and I can only lie down in the pit and not move if I have no choice." ”

"What happened then?"

"I checked Xiangbei to find it, and together I sent my father to the township health center, and I went to the township to meet Dr. Qiu from the health center, who is also a famous knife in our township, and he checked it after seeing it, and his heart and blood pressure were normal, and the preliminary diagnosis of my father was Meniere's syndrome."

"yes, I see. What are the preferences of the elderly, drinking and smoking? ”

"I don't drink alcohol and I feel bad for a day." As soon as Hu Jiaxiang heard about drinking, he opened his mouth.

"Yes, my dad doesn't have anything to eat, and he can't drink without wine."

"How much can you drink in a day?" Drink it for a few years. ”

"Our old man, three meals a day, seven or eight taels a day." When Hu Shulan's mother said this, she was embarrassed and distressed. Hu Shulan was very emotional when she heard what her mother said, so she took over, "My father has been drinking for forty or fifty years, and my grandfather opened a wine room, and I heard that my father has been drinking since he was a child. ”

"Oh! Uncle Hu, open your mouth, and I'll take a look at the tongue coating. Hu Jiaxiang opened his mouth and said a few times. Zhou Quanlin looked at Hu Jiaxiang's tongue, and his tongue was fat and greasy. According to Zhou Quanlin's analysis, Hu Jiaxiang has been an alcoholic all his life, and his current state is what traditional Chinese medicine calls "phlegm and dampness".

"What's the situation? I've been drinking it for decades, why did I suddenly get sick? ”

"The old man of our family recently had some opinions with the village because of the division of land, and he got angry with a few old men in the village, and he sulked as soon as he came home, and he was angry for several days without seeing a good face, and it was not that we were angry with him." The old man glared at the old lady and did not speak.

"Aunt Hu, when I first came in, I gave Uncle Hu a pulse, the pulse was slippery, just now I also looked at the tongue, I saw Uncle Hu's tongue fat and greasy, I now analyze Uncle Hu's recent anger, causing depression and anger and hurting the liver, phlegm rises with the qi, invades the spleen and stomach, which causes vomiting, and violates the heart, resulting in tachycardia. The so-called upward flush is dizzy. Because Uncle Hu has drunk wine for so many years, he is old, he has a kidney deficit, and his pulse is not guarded. So this is a disease of phlegm drinking, and its root is in the kidneys. ”

"Oh! In reason, in reason. How to cure this disease? Hu Shulan's mother and daughter kept nodding, with a light of hope in their eyes, they saw hope, and they also understood the reason why Western medicine was not effective, treating dizziness without regulating the kidneys, so the old man's illness did not improve.

"I'll prescribe a prescription first, but I want to explain first, Uncle Hu's illness is also a disease caused by hard work, and this time he is angry again, first of all, the fire failure caused by kidney deficiency, and the disharmony of the spleen and stomach, which causes the diet to not be refined, but turns into phlegm and salivation. Drinking is yin and evil, and the onset of illness in the middle of the night is the time when the yang qi is very weak and the yin qi is strong, so the dizziness is sudden. Normally, according to the three sides of "Jin Kui" to treat drink, if it is dizziness, it should be treated with Ze Epsom soup; If there are symptoms of vomiting, palpitation, palpitation, and palpitation, it should be treated with Xiaobanxia and Poria cocos decoction; If symptoms of retching and headache appear, it should be treated with Evodia decoction. Now Uncle Hu has all three symptoms, so I used the three prescriptions together. ”

Seeing that Zhou Quanlin was talking about the Tao, Hu Shulan's mother and daughter said, "Okay, Doctor Zhou, you can open the prescription quickly!" "Listening to Zhou Quanlin's real and detailed speech, I suddenly had confidence.

"Okay, I'll make a prescription."

Zhou Quanlin wrote down the recipe: 90 grams of Zexiao, 36 grams of Atractylodes, 30 grams of Wild Codonopsis, 30 grams of Evodia (7 times of boiling water), 15 grams of burnt grass, raw Banxia, Poria cocos, purple quartz, 30 grams of raw dragon oyster, 30 grams of live magnet, 30 grams of fresh ginger, 20 ml of ginger juice, 20 jujubes, thick decoction, slowly snorting, 200 ml each time after vomiting stopped, 1 time in 3 hours, 2 doses in a row day and night.

"Okay, I'll go to Guan Xiangbei to help me go to the town to buy medicine. Thank you, Dr. Zhou, don't go anywhere at noon, just eat at my house, wait for me! ”

"Okay, I'm not going anywhere, you buy the medicine back in a while, I'll fry it for Uncle Hu, I'm still worried that you won't be able to get this Chinese medicine."

Before Hu Shulan went out, she instructed Hu's mother, "Mom, you cook a delicious meal for Dr. Zhou, my father's illness is over, and I will go to buy medicine." Hu Shulan hurriedly went to buy medicine.
