Chapter 1088: Cupping
In the era of the rise of Western medicine and the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, the four traditional Chinese medicine methods that have been used as auxiliary treatment methods have been more inherited and carried forward, and these four oriental miraculous therapies that have been handed down for thousands of years have been spread to every corner of the earth.
Massage and pricking needles are slightly complicated and require certain basic skills and knowledge of acupuncture points, tendons and veins, but cupping and scraping are done by many rural people themselves, and even some acupuncture and bloodletting therapies are also common.
The so-called never eaten pork but seen a pig run, although Chen Xu did not systematically study the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, but when he was a child, he followed the second grandfather and still learned a lot of traditional Chinese medicine attributes and some simple traditional Chinese medicine theories, and then followed Xu Fu for a period of time, and then got Yu Wuya and Shui's gentle guidance, and began to have a systematic understanding of acupuncture points and tendons, and he also pierced the ghost door thirteen needles several times, which cannot be completely regarded as a little white.
Houshi Street is full of massage and foot shops, and there are many roadside massage shops with red lights.
Chen Xu didn't know if it was regular, but he still went to the big health care a few times and experienced the difference between ninety-eight and one hundred and ninety-eight, that is, it felt different when he stepped on his body, and his bones crackled.
Of course, giving the emperor a Thai massage will definitely be beheaded, and no brave doctor dares to climb on the emperor's back and step on it a few times, but there should still be no big problem with hand massage.
In fact, what Chen Xu didn't know was that even if it was such a thing as massaging the emperor with his hands, no one in the world dared to do it except him.
As for the needle, no one dares to do it.
A group of imperial physicians treated the emperor, and the most common thing was to prescribe medicine, and the emperor also thought that taking medicine was the safest.
In fact, taking medicine is the least safe.
It is a medicine with three points of poison, and a miracle medicine like the Five Poisons Soul Relief Water, which has an effect against the sky, is even more poisonous.
Because the emperor couldn't wait to experience cupping and gua sha therapy, Chen Xu had to hurry home to prepare.
First of all, the things used for gua sha, the horn slice used by the second grandfather in the past is actually a broken horn comb, the back is sleek, just not to hurt the skin, as for the oil used in gua sha, sesame oil is on the line, of course, the emperor likes the smell of perfume, and it is good to get a little floral essential oil to be extravagant, maybe the emperor for his own good health, in order to save more essential oil for his own use, he figured out the huge harem to cut it.
As for the fire pot, it is simple, and it can be made of bamboo and wood, but in order to facilitate the observation of tomorrow's teaching, Chen Xu asked a domestic servant to go to the glass factory with the drawn drawings, and each of the large, medium and small ones will make a few for tomorrow.
Time flickered to the next day, Chen Xu got up early to go to the court, and found that the emperor's complexion seemed to be much better today, and he had been smiling and relaxed when dealing with government affairs, and occasionally threw a flattering look at Chen Xu very affectionately, making Chen Xu feel a little hairy like sitting on pins and needles, and the appearance of the emperor and Zuo Xiang secretly sending autumn waves above the court also made many carefully observing ministers confused.
At the end of the dynasty, before Chen Xu had time to walk out of the court, a palace man couldn't wait to catch up to convey the invitation of the first emperor, Chen Xu had to go to the carriage and carry a small wooden box over to follow the palace people into the palace.
And many ministers who had already discovered that the relationship between the Marquis of Qinghe and the First Emperor was abnormal stood outside the court hall, looking at Chen Xu, who had entered the palace with a wooden box, and pointed out the discussion in a whispered manner.
With yesterday's massage process, the emperor cooperated very smoothly today.
Chen Xu opened the wooden box and briefly introduced the fire pot, alcohol lamp, horn scraper, etc., and waited until Du Gui's two imperial doctors arrived, so he asked the emperor to take off his shirt again and lie on the kang, first demonstrated the use of the fire cup, and used tweezers to put the lit alcohol ball in it and roast it, and then quickly stuck to the back of the first emperor, and smoked more than ten densely from top to bottom, and then everyone saw that the meat on the emperor's back was slowly sucked into the mouth of the glass bottle and protruded a large section, until the fire pot was slightly purple and red, After taking it, the back of the first emperor looked like a seven-star ladybug with a purple-red circular scar, and the two imperial doctors who saw it were shivering in a cold sweat, and Chen Xu was also very satisfied, he was a man in two lives, he finally learned cupping for the first time, and the object was still Qin Dada, the first emperor of the ages, which is worth bragging for a few lifetimes.
After demonstrating cupping, Chen Xu demonstrated the process of scraping with the emperor's legs and feet, applied some essential oils, and then gently scraped it with a horn scraper a few times, and stopped when he saw the slightly red blood spots on his skin, so that the two imperial doctors knew what the scraping would look like.
"Your Majesty's restlessness and restlessness are due to the loss of liver and kidneys, so you can scrape the liver meridian and kidney meridian for Your Majesty once or twice a month, but remember not to use too much force, so as not to scratch the skin, and the scraping blade must be wiped clean and disinfected with alcohol every time it is used......"
After admonishing the two imperial doctors, Chen Xu carefully told the First Emperor, whether it was scraping or cupping, remember to dress and keep warm and not to bathe, so as not to be infected by germs from the wound.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for a healer to assist in doing some medical research on weekdays!" After everything was over, Chen Xu began to dig the foot of the wall of the First Emperor before leaving.
"Aiqing said bluntly, as long as there are people in this palace that Aiqing thinks are useful, they can take them away!" The first emperor, who was well dressed, had a large sleeve swing and agreed.
"Recommended by Imperial Physician Xu, there is Imperial Physician Fang Sheng in the Imperial Medical Department who is proficient in diagnosing incurable diseases, and the minister wants Imperial Physician Fang to help!" Chen Xu gave up.
"It turned out to be Imperial Physician Fang, I know that he was recommended by Imperial Physician Xu, and his medical skills are indeed very good, since Aiqing is useful, I will let him go out of the palace with Aiqing, but he can still hang the name of the imperial doctor, and no matter what kind of new medical skills Aiqing has researched, I can also enjoy it, haha!"
An hour later, Chen Xu came out of the palace, followed by a middle-aged imperial doctor.
"Master Hou, your cupping and gua sha therapy is really magical, Your Majesty looks very useful!" Fang Sheng said excitedly as he walked.
"Internal and external treatment, no acupuncture and medicine, is a good physiotherapy method, supplemented by massage and diet on weekdays, His Majesty's body should slowly get better, and after our hospital opens, you have to study more of these different treatment methods from decoction, and then summarize the experience and compile it into a medical book, spread these simple and effective treatment methods, so that the people of the world can benefit!"
"Hou Ye rest assured, the internal scripture said: Go to work to cure the disease, not to cure the disease, this is also said. Sheng also likes to study some prevention methods for incurable diseases, but there are no more methods except for prescribing decoction and acupuncture. Fang Sheng nodded again and again.
"These two methods are the same as massage, which is an adjuvant treatment for dredging the meridians, which can well alleviate the sub-health symptoms of physical discomfort, but if you really get sick, you still mainly rely on decoction, and I let the housekeeper prepare for the hospital, and your task is to help me gather people with excellent medical skills everywhere, grace...... It's okay to go to the health center to dig the foot of the wall, in short, Ben Hou is only responsible for spending money on preparation, and you have to do it yourself with all the doctors and nurses! ”
"Hou Ye, don't worry, there are a lot of people who know a certain person in the Tai Hospital and the Health Center, and there are many guys with good medical skills in the people, but most of them are not very good-tempered......"
"A bad temper means that he has real skills, but Ben Hou specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction, telling them that as long as they are willing to come to my hospital to work and sit for consultation, Ben Hou can let him study medical skills, if he can really complete the treatment of a certain incurable disease in the future, Ben Hou can even erect his statue in front of the library, so that future generations can worship and worship the eternal generations!"
"Hehe, there is Hou Ye's words, I want them to cry and shout and squeeze to Hou Ye's hospital to work, those guys usually have eyes on the top of their heads, and they don't care about it when they see our imperial doctor, but in the future, they will obediently listen to my command with their tails between their legs, quack ......" Doctor Fang, who had always looked upright, let out a few terrifying and low laughs like night owls, and Chen Xu was covered with goosebumps when he heard it.
It seems that every person who is really capable is not a good bird, Fang Sheng's shrimp looks serious, it turns out that he is a guy with a black belly, but it's okay, it just so happens that the hospital needs a guy with a black belly to control the overall situation, and the too gentle leader can't suppress those guys with eyes on the top of their heads.
In the next half month, Chen Xu spent most of his time in the construction of the library and the preparation of the hospital, except for arranging for the guards and servants to go back to his hometown to bring his father and mother to Xianyang for reunion.
The preparation of the hospital is relatively simple, directly let people go to the Inner History Mansion to check it, see where there are vacant or abandoned houses in Xianyang City, and then buy a simple renovation before you can start business, at the same time he also asked the housekeeper to buy a piece of land of about 200 acres on the south bank of the Wei River, so that the Academy of Sciences designed a five-story outpatient building and inpatient department, in addition to the pharmacy stable canteen and other ancillary facilities, and then left it to a group of craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences to build, At a time when official medical facilities are completely unable to meet the needs of the people, the establishment of a private hospital is also a good complement, and the main purpose of this hospital is to serve the common people.
The construction of the library is much more complicated, because it is a great project that has won the hearts of the world's scholars, so it needs to be well designed and planned, and strive to build it into a national standard building that will be passed down across the centuries and forever.
Appreciating the classics of the sages at the National Library, learning the knowledge of the sages at Beijing Normal University, and talking about the strategy of governing the country in the Royal Auditorium are the three prongs of Chen Xu's initial idea of promoting the integration of hundreds of schools.
