Chapter 53 Head Wind, Headache

Zhou Quanlin saw a Song Dynasty "and the medicine bureau prescription" of the classics, which has chased the wind and scattered a side, after the study of this prescription after more than 2000 years of evolution, from the dosage and composition of the formula have more or less changes, this prescription began in the Han Dynasty, and then spread to the people, this inheritance process absorbed the successful experience and prescription of the past generations of doctors in the treatment of headache and neuralgia, it can be said that it concentrates all the prescriptions with significant efficacy from ancient times to modern pain, and is a representative of the ancient prescriptions of peculiar prescriptions. It is a pity that it has not been taken seriously by most doctors in modern times.

Here I have to focus on what is a headache, to give an example that everyone knows, this classic medical case is about the great politician and military strategist Cao Cao in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Hua Tuo proposed to use "craniotomy" to treat Cao Cao's headache and was killed by Cao Cao, which is a household name. In the movie "Red Cliff", there were two episodes of Cao Cao's headaches. One time was when Cao Cao used cold compresses to relieve headaches in the military tent, and the second time was when Hua Tuo used acupuncture to treat Cao Cao's illness, and said that his cause was "too much ** and too much thinking".

What is the real cause of Cao Cao's headaches? Why is it refractory? According to historical records, Cao Cao suffered from headaches, Cao Cao / before his death, headaches were frequent, and Cao Cao's headaches have also appeared many times in movies and TV series.

Cao Cao's migraines did get worse and worse with too much thought. In the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", there has long been a record of Cao Cao's headache. When the army was raised to pacify Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had a headache every time. But when the real headache began to be serious, it was after eliminating Yuan Shao and holding Emperor Han Xian hostage. Cao Cao held the "monarchical power", and at this time he needed to think about more state affairs, but also to quell some local uprisings, and to eliminate dissidents in the court. At this time, Cao Cao's headache really began to become severe, and his illness was called "head wind and vertigo" in the book, and the onset of the disease was severe pain in the head.

When Cao Cao became ill, he often had severe headache on one side (a typical feature of migraine), but there is no information on the specific cause of the disease. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhonghua Tuo said that the cause of Cao Cao's headache was "wind salivation". Due to the long period of time, it is difficult to know what kind of disease Cao Cao had by relying on these words alone, but one thing is certain, his illness has been serious again and again, but there is no better cure at that time.

To be honest, if it is indeed a migraine, even now, although modern medicine is brilliant and scientific, there are probably few diseases that can be completely cured.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there was a chapter where Hua Tuo was going to operate on Cao Cao, Hua Tuo said that Cao Cao's illness should be cured, so that he would not repeat it, he needed to drink "numb boiling" first, paralyze the brain, and then cut off the head with a sharp axe and take out the "wind saliva", so that it was possible to remove the root of the disease. I don't know whether this story is true or false, and it is estimated that there are many false elements. Not to mention how to solve the problem of infection and bleeding after craniotomy, it is absurd to say that a single "removal of saliva can completely cure this disease", of course, this is just a story, we don't have to be so harsh.

No matter what the process was, Cao Cao died of a chronic head disease, killed the famous doctor Hua Tuo, and finally died.

In modern times, the manifestations of this disease are different, there are regular onset on time every day, there are joint disease (joint disease refers to every major solar term exchange, such as the 24 solar terms, or the alternation of day and night, or the transition between waking up and falling asleep, the pain will attack), and there are women who have premenstrual attacks, and there are also seven emotions that are triggered excessively, just like a soldier stepping into a minefield.

Whenever they have an attack, they will have a cracked headache, swollen eyes, dizziness, or vomiting and salivation, or they will be drowsy and want to sleep, or they will have no appetite at all and do not want to eat.

All these symptoms, Zhou Quanlin's research summary after several years of research are all evil spirits.

The scurrying of evil spirits will inevitably cause the patient's righteous qi to be weakened first, and the six evils of external sex will invade, and he will not be able to encourage the evil spirits to penetrate to the outside, and he will never be able to leave the body and lurk in the body.

After a long time, the skins and meridians of the human body gradually penetrate deep into the internal organs, and the damp phlegm and dead blood build up lesions in the body, which cannot be absorbed for a long time, and finally becomes a stubborn disease.

If you want to get rid of this long-term headache, the treatment method is to sort out the way of the invasion of the evil spirit, start from the source, and prescribe the right medicine, so that the evil spirit can be driven out of the same way. The so-called guidance according to the situation, strengthening the righteous qi, opening and closing the table, and subduing the evil qi to penetrate the outside, to achieve this goal, the disease will definitely be cured.

This medicine has the effect of passing through the twelve meridians, and the whole body pain caused by the six evils of external obscenity and the internal wind caused by the external wind, such as sudden, neurotic, dizziness and numbness, can completely relieve the pain in 1-2 hours.

However, headaches caused by fever and internal injuries are not a no-no.

……

Zhou Quanlin has changed to sit in the clinic every Thursday to sit in the clinic five days a week, only on Tuesday, he will go to the countryside to diagnose the disease, Zhou Quanlin believes that the way out of traditional Chinese medicine is in the countryside, and the villagers cannot do without traditional Chinese medicine, so he will not cancel the old habit of going to the countryside.

The county hospital specially sent him an off-road jeep so as not to delay Zhou Quanlin to return to the hospital the next day.

It was a Tuesday, and Zhou Quanlin had just arrived at the Qingpu Township Health Center in a big jeep driven by Master Geng Daming, and President Zhang of the hospital came out to greet him.

"Doctor Zhou, you are here, please come to the surgery, there is a patient who needs to be diagnosed urgently."

Zhou Quanlin didn't dare to stop and rest, so he trotted all the way to the surgery, where he saw a helpless young doctor, Hu Changrong, and a patient, a 68-year-old patient, Chang Shuji.

"Doctor Hu, please give me a briefing on your condition." Zhou Quanlin didn't have any special impression of this Dr. Hu, knowing that once she encountered this incurable disease, she might have a headache and a sore foot, and she would not be able to solve the problem for a while.

Hearing Zhou Quanlin introduce his condition by name, Hu Changrong was a little flattered and hurriedly introduced the patient's situation.

"The patient, Chang Shuji, 68 years old, suffered from advanced stage of Rongrong osteosarcoma with severe pain day and night
