Chapter 49: Little Living Immortals
The reason why Song Lingyue sold plasters before entrusted Qi Mo to help her sell them was because women were not allowed to practice medicine in this place.
Her homemade plasters are already a kind of medicine.
Common plasters and pills such as common bruise ointment and hemostatic powder are not secrets, they are known to all people who open pharmacies, and they can be prepared for patients by themselves.
If you don't know how to prepare, it doesn't matter, you can directly ask a few pharmaceutical workshops of the Xinglin family in the world to buy them.
The medical hall is different, the medical center can sell medicinal herbs, and it can also sit for medical treatment.
However, the doctors who can sit in the clinic are only men, not women.
The pharmacy is similar to a modern pharmacy, as long as the customer comes to the door to make a demand, just follow the common diseases provided by the Xinglin family to unilaterally dispense the medicine.
The medical center is a modern hospital, with a doctor in charge, who can look at the patient and prescribe the right medicine.
Ordinary people have a headache and brain fever can judge that it is typhoid fever, and they go directly to the pharmacy to get a typhoid soup and drink it, and only if the problem cannot be solved will they go to the hospital to see a doctor.
The mother and daughter of the Li family knew that Song Lingyue had ordered Gu Langzhong's pharmacy, but they didn't know that Song Lingyue could also heal.
Song Lingyue ignored Aunt Li's surprise, picked up Aunt Li's wrist, and gently put her fingers on her pulse:
"There is a loss of qi and blood, the meridians are blocked, and there is a faint internal loss."
Song Lingyue took the fingers on Aunt Li's wrist and said to Aunt Li: "Does Aunt Li often feel that her bones are faintly painful in rainy weather, especially her back and knees, like a cold wind drilling into her body, and the pain is like a heart?" Overworked, sore all over the body after every night? And decay water incompatibility, emotional dysregulation? ”
Every time Song Lingyue said a word, the look of surprise on Aunt Li's face increased:
"Yes! That's all you say! It's true that after overwork, it hurts for a long time every night. In rainy weather, the back and knees are like cold and only drill into the bones, but after a few days of rest, it can be relieved. As for the dehydration, it hasn't arrived for a few months, and I just thought it was ......."
Aunt Li lowered her head embarrassedly, fortunately, Song Lingyue is a daughter's family, if this is a male doctor, let her say how the decay water is not adjusted She really can't open this mouth.
Song Lingyue informed the problems found in the pulse diagnosis one by one:
"Aunt Li, I just checked your pulse and found that the cold and damp condensation in your body caused the blood flow to be poor, so you will feel unbearable soreness in rainy weather.
As for the lower back and knees, because you need to stand for a long time without resting, it is a lot of pressure on the lumbar spine and knees.
In fact, the reason why the water does not come is because your body is too wet and cold, which hinders the circulation of qi and blood. ”
"Am I in serious condition now?" Listening to what Song Lingyue said, Aunt Li trusted Song Lingyue a little more to understand medical skills, and grabbed Song Lingyue's hand and asked.
Xiangling also looked at Song Lingyue with a worried face, her fingers grabbed the sheets tightly, and she wanted to cry.
Song Lingyue smiled: "Fortunately, it's not particularly serious, the dampness and cold in the body only need to be prescribed a few prescriptions to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, dispel wind and dampness, and drink it for fourteen days in a row." ”
Hearing Song Lingyue say this, Aunt Li and Xiangling both breathed a sigh of relief, but before this breath was completely relaxed, Song Lingyue spoke again:
"It's just that Aunt Li, your lumbar spine and knee injuries won't get better in a while, and you still need to pay more attention to maintenance, rest well, and don't be too tired."
"This ......" Aunt Li bit her lip and made a difficulty, she and Xiangling's lives were maintained by selling osmanthus sweet cakes every day.
According to Song Lingyue, this waist and knees need to be raised, so you can't go to the market before dawn to sell them.
"In short, the most important thing at the moment is to control the condition as soon as possible, and worry about other things when the illness is cured." Of course, Song Lingyue saw Aunt Li's worries, and said a few words of relief.
Aunt Li nodded, her already aching waist couldn't straighten up, and she couldn't do anything except recuperate.
Song Lingyue had already come up with a few prescriptions suitable for Aunt Li in her mind, and after thinking about it in her heart, she chose Xing Danfang, which mainly focuses on warmth and recuperation.
I observed Aunt Li's ugly face again, and added a few warm medicinal herbs to the prescription that came to mind.
Song Lingyue remembered that there were still some dehumidifying and cold removal plasters she had bought in Baishi County before, and although they were not completely in line with Aunt Li's condition, they could be alleviated somewhat.
It would be nice if the chili pepper could be discovered earlier, and the capsaicin in the chili pepper would be refined and added to the plaster, and the medicinal effect would definitely be better.
Song Lingyue took out five plasters from the small bag she carried and handed them to Xiangling, "You can help your mother stick these plasters on the affected area, which can relieve some pain." Before use, you can bake the plaster under the lamp and then stick it on the affected area, and the effect will be volatilized. ”
"I'll teach you how to use it first, you learn carefully, and then you will come to your mother to paste it." Song Lingyue smiled at Xiangling and took out a piece of plaster.
The plaster was a two-piece plaster, with a thick black ointment in the middle, which was attached to two palm-sized pieces of gauze, and hard tearing would only tear the gauze apart, but not tear the plaster.
Song Lingyue put the plaster in the palm of her hand and rubbed it repeatedly, until she felt a faint warmth on the gauze surface, and then tore the plaster apart.
"Oil lamps." As soon as Song Lingyue's words fell, Xiangling had already taken out a fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the table.
Song Lingyue put the black plaster close to the candle flame and baked it carefully, and after a while, the room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
"It might be a little hot, but it's much more comfortable to put on." Song Lingyue was sure that the plaster had been softened by the high temperature, and motioned for Xiangling to turn Aunt Li's body over.
Lifting the blouse, revealing Aunt Li's lower back, Song Lingyue's fingers pressed a few times on several joints of Aunt Li's lumbar spine like lightning.
When she pressed the second spine, Aunt Li's body shrank in obvious pain.
This is it!
Song Lingyue quickly pasted the warm plaster on the most painful place in Aunt Li's lower back.
Aunt Li only felt a burst of warmth coming from her lower back, and she originally felt that there was a needle pierced in her lower back, but after such a while, she began to feel a little warm.
"Looks like it's more comfortable than it was just now." Aunt Li obviously felt that the muscles in her lower back seemed to be relaxed, and it didn't hurt as much as before.
Song Lingyue just smiled faintly:
"This plaster is infused with pain-relieving herbs, so it will work very quickly after applying it. However, plasters can only be relieved for a while, and the injuries are on the bones and meridians, and plasters alone are not enough.
You also need Aunt Li to pay attention to yourself in the future, don't tire yourself out. After a while, I will teach Xiangling a set of massage techniques, which can also relieve the pain in the lower back when used with the medicinal liquid.
As for the knees, in addition to applying a plaster, you also need to pay attention to keeping warm every day.
You can sew a knee pad, fill it with some cotton in a cloth bag, and sew it directly to the knee. You can also directly thicken the pants at the knee to achieve protection.
If you usually feel that your knees are sore, you can fry the coarse salt, put it in a pocket that can bind your mouth, and put it on your knees to warm it.
Coarse salt is anti-inflammatory, and it is also useful for pain relief, and this method can also be used in the lower back. ”
"Thank you so much, Ling Yue!" Aunt Li threw a grateful smile at Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue was still faint, but a light smile appeared at the corner of her lips: "Saving the dead and helping the wounded, this is the duty of a doctor, why talk about thanks!" What's more, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and neighbors are supposed to help each other. ”
Aunt Li listened to Song Lingyue say this, nodded with emotion, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
"Xiangling, do you remember what I told you just now?" Song Lingyue asked Xiangling.
Xiangling nodded seriously: "I remember everything." In the future, I will urge my mother to stop working as hard as before. ”
"Xiangling is so good." Song Lingyue patted the back of Xiangling's hand, got up and bowed slightly to Aunt Li, and said, "Xiangling came to me just now, and I haven't had time to tell Yanzhi when I go out in a hurry, I have to go back and see." ”
"yes, I'm going to go back and have a look." When Aunt Li heard this, she asked Song Lingyue to go back. "It's still a small word, but don't cry in the house."
"Then Aunt Li, I'll go back first, I'll write out the prescription in a while, and you ask Xiangling to go to me to get it." There are a few herbs in this prescription, and I don't have them in the pharmacy, so I can only work hard Xiangling to buy them at other pharmacies. Speaking of this, Song Lingyue was a little embarrassed.
Her pharmacy is about to open, but the medicinal materials in the pharmacy are not yet available.
"Thank you really today, I'll be better in a few days, and then I'll take Xiangling to the door to thank you." Aunt Li was already extremely courteous, but now she still treats Song Lingyue as an equal.
"Aunt Li is polite, then I won't stay more." Song Lingyue patted Xiangling's shoulder, lowered her head and said softly:
"If you have any questions, you can come to me, I'm at home all day."
"I know, Sister Lingyue!" Xiangling nodded heavily to Song Lingyue, turned her head and said to Aunt Li on the side: "Mother, I'll send Sister Lingyue back." ”
Song Lingyue just wanted to postpone it, but Aunt Li kept saying that it was as it should be. If she hadn't been able to get up now, she would have personally sent Song Lingyue back.
Xiangling only sent Song Lingyue to the door, and hurriedly turned back to take care of Aunt Li.
When he got home, Song Yanzhi was standing in front of the courtyard with his hands on his hips and puffing out his face, glaring angrily at Song Lingyue.
"What's wrong?" Song Lingyue looked at Song Yanzhi's puffed up appearance and was a little funny.
"Sister! Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye when I had a meal! Song Yanzhi was originally like a puffing meat bun, but when he saw Song Lingyue coming back, the whole person softened.
"It was Xiangling who came just now." Song Lingyue took out the handkerchief in her arms and helped Song Yanzhi wipe the sauce from her mouth, "Look at you, there are things to eat everywhere." ”
Song Yanzhi impatiently knocked down Song Lingyue's handkerchief and asked, "Xiangling is here?" Why didn't you let her in? ”
