Chapter 69: A Thread of Spiritual Knot [5]
Zhu Yan looked at the old man in the skylight in the courtyard, and looked carefully, the old man's face was pale and haggard, slightly puffy, and the two eye bags were also very strict.
Mingzi is very familiar, the two dexterous big eyes turned, and his voice recounted his father-in-law's illness clearly, "Sister Yanzi, Taigong was tired in the field a few days ago, and when he came home, he began to feel dizzy, the world was spinning, and he always vomited, especially when he couldn't drink water, he had to vomit when he drank water, only when he fell asleep, and he didn't get better in a few days, Sister Yanzi, how can you cure this?" ”
"Old man, can you stick out your tongue and let Zhu Yan see?" Zhu Yan gently pinched his fingers and asked the old man in a harmonious voice.
The old man answered, his voice was also low and weak, and he stretched out his tongue, the blood was very light, and the tongue was not rosy enough, but the white moss on it was thick and greasy, a typical damp evil cure.
Zhu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, these symptoms indicate phlegm and dampness internal resistance, but depending on the condition of the elderly, it will always remind her of a condition called "Meniere's syndrome".
The most prominent symptom of Meniere's syndrome is the sudden onset of rotational vertigo, which Akiko describes as the sensation of spinning around the world, which is greatly reduced when you lie down or close your eyes. At the same time, Zhu Yan guessed that the old man's vertigo came from this, and because this disease was often accompanied by autonomic reflex symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, paleness, and cold sweat, which were secretly consistent with the old man's symptoms.
Modern medicine does not know the cause of this disease, and only the pathological change is found to be hydromedulla. In the inner ear of the human being, there is a place called the cochlea, which is named after the coiled snail shell shaped like a snail, and the bony part of the snail shell is called the "bone labyrinth", and the membrane covered on the outside is the membrane labyrinth. The cochlea is responsible for the body's balance and sense of direction, and it makes sense that a lesion here will naturally cause a feeling of dizziness.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, and the treatment route of Western medicine is definitely impassable, so Zhu Yan has to try his best to implement this assertion to the pathogenesis principle of Chinese medicine.
The result of the dialectic just now is that the old man is phlegm and drink block, and the spleen is the main organ that transports water, and the water and phlegm drink in the body are abnormal, and most of them need to use medicine to strengthen the spleen. In addition, since Western medicine has found that the lesion is in the ear, it may be able to cut off a disease of "drinking the inner ear"?
Mingzi saw Zhu Yan frowning and groaning, and urged in a low voice, "Sister Yanzi, can my father-in-law's disease be cured?" ”
"Shh Seeing that he was being diagnosed in the hospital, Dou An rolled up the book in his hand and stepped forward, "Master is thinking about something, don't disturb her." ”
Seeing that Dou An's child was so intimate, Zhu Yan couldn't help but smile "poof", squatted down and took the book in his hand, "Xiao Anke knows, 'spleen and kidney yang deficiency, drink to stop the inner ear', what medicine is needed?" ”
Dou An suddenly opened his big bright eyes and guessed in a low voice, "Maybe it'...... Drugs to dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen? ”
"Xiao An is very smart." Zhu Yan saw that he was a little thorough, patted his head gently, and said his own instructions, "You go and fetch six coins and nine coins to fry atractylodes, fry them into a small half bowl with a bowl of water, and bring them to this old man to drink in a while." ”
Dou An nodded obediently and walked slowly with his small bamboo cane.
Zhu Yan instructed Mingzi to help the old man sit down, and went to pick up a small piece of limestone, and handed it to Mingzi along with the broken tiles that only three-quarters were left, "Mingzi, your mother sent you to me to learn to read and write, but you are willing to learn something else, such as ...... Arithmetic? ”
"Arithmetic?" Akiko obviously didn't think about this question, stared curiously at Zhu Yan's lightly opened and closed cherry lips, and repeated, "...... What is arithmetic for? ”
"Well, arithmetic can be used for a lot more, and to put it simply, if you learn this, you will be much smarter than others." Zhu Yan was slightly embarrassed, her least favorite thing in her previous life was mathematics, but she was right to say so, people who are good at arithmetic are mostly very flexible in their minds, and she thinks that with the ability of Mingzi, it is too wasteful to not engage in business, and learning arithmetic well is the first step.
Mingzi has known Zhu Yan since she was a child, although she thinks she is talking very strangely now, but children always have more good feelings for beautiful things, Zhu Yan is beautiful, Mingzi nodded obediently, a pair of rough little hands rubbing the tiles and stones that Zhu Yan gave him, there is still a little dirt left between his fingers, but it can be seen that it has been carefully washed.
"Since Mingzi is willing to learn, then my sister will come up with a question first, and what is the talent to try." Zhu Yan pursed his thin lips and chuckled, leaned down and talked about the famous problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, "'There are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty-five on the top and ninety-four feet on the bottom, ask the pheasants and rabbits how much they are?' ’”
Akiko pursed her lips, blinked her chin, and muttered quietly, "Why did this person put chickens and rabbits together, but he didn't ask for trouble......"
Zhu Yan smiled dumbly, "Mingzi can use small stones to make a draft on the tiles." ”
After the order, Zhu Yan took the pulse for the old man, the pulse was straight and long, like pressing the strings, it was indeed a sign of phlegm drinking, and the dialectic must be good.
After a while, Dou An came out of the stove room with a bowl of steaming medicine, Zhu Yan took it, blew it lightly for a while, and then handed it to the old man, and ordered softly, "You drink slowly, take a sip first." ”
The old man was dizzy for several days, and he was tortured so much that he was uncomfortable, and when he saw that there was medicine, he took it and drank it, where did he care about Zhu Yan's orders.
Zhu Yan frowned slightly, and saw that the old man didn't want to vomit after drinking the medicine, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and instructed the old man, "Old man, after you go home, you can use two coins each of the attached tablets, tangerine peel, Fa Banxia, and white peony, one penny of atractylodes, four coins each of Poria cocos and Zexiao, one penny each of cinnamon branches, and one penny of boiled licorice, plus five slices of ginger, decoction with water, a total of four doses to stop, can you remember?" ”
The old man drank the medicine, his face gradually stretched, he looked at Zhu Yan with a pair of old eyes, and couldn't help nodding, "You girl is good, you have a good appearance, a good temperament, and your hands are so skillful, you will definitely marry a good family in the future!" ”
Zhu Yan couldn't help but wonder, "Old man, can you write down what Zhu Yan said?" ”
"Write it down, write it down!" The old man was a little impatient and pretended to be angry, "Although I am old, I still have a memory for this idea, don't underestimate people, little girl!" ”
Zhu Yan and Dou An couldn't help but secretly speak, if this prescription was really as easy to remember as the old man said, then why did they bother to memorize the prescription song every day?
"Alright, alright...... The old man is not dizzy anymore, I see that Mingzi is used to this kid, and now he is here to settle down, so the old man can go back first. The old man snorted, got up and left.
