Chapter 46: Moxibustion 1
Not only Nan Jin, but also many people chose to donate money anonymously. Especially officials, if they come openly, the amount of money is not a lever for corruption!
This relief project was so huge that even the saints were alarmed, and issued a decree to reduce taxes and labor labor, investigate whether there were unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and also sent special officials to supervise the whereabouts of the money, which must be implemented. However, the ancients who wanted to believe in ghosts and gods should not have the guts to get their hands on this money.
Nan Jin didn't know that this turmoil didn't cause much damage to this all-true world, but it injected new vitality into this world.
Ziqian wrote to say that he had passed the children's examination and became a child, and now he is studying in the official county school.
If someone is proud, there will naturally be someone disappointed.
On the other side of the mountain, Han Yan encountered an unsolvable problem in history. The secret recipe he had stolen with great effort was useless, and he couldn't make that kind of fragrant but not greasy and long-lasting natural rouge gouache.
Even he, a modern man, has done it himself several times, but the result has become even worse. He lingered in the defensive line for a long time, thinking of going in to see what the mysterious Yi princess had done and whether she had used some advanced equipment that was not available in ancient times, and his stupid men did not notice.
It's a pity that the Yi tribe is called a tight one to defend him, and the fact that he makes rouge gouache is very bad for his image. He is a general of the army, and then sneaks away to other countries, which is not reasonable, and it is even more hindering to the army's heart.
Originally, he was going to send a strategist who could paint, but unfortunately the soldiers stopped him and persuaded him one by one not to get along with rouge gouache.
This coincided with the earthquake, and Han Yan suddenly thought about it. At present, this rouge gouache can only be done by the princess of the Yi tribe, but there is no big worry. What's more, his identity is just a military general, what to do with these trivial things.
What Han Yan didn't know was that this trivial matter would become a big deal for him in the future.
It's been dull for a long time, and it's time to go out and loosen up. A few days ago, his men hunted a firefox. Why don't you give it to that doctor girl as a pet!
Han Yan said that he would leave, and casually confessed to his subordinates. With his right hand leading the cage, he stepped on his spirit horse, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
What is Nan Jin doing?
It turned out that Nan Jin found that unconsciously, she had made a lot of moxa sticks and moxa pillars with An An. The treasury could no longer be placed, and Nan Jin took out Chen Ai to benefit the villagers.
(Chen Ai is better than Xin Ai.) Because Chen Ai is gentle but not dry, hot but not hot, and penetrates the body quickly. Because the volatile oil in Xinai has not dissipated, the fire is big and intense, the skin feels hot and hurts the meridians, and it burns on the surface of the skin, and the medicinal properties cannot penetrate the body. )
The mugwort used by Nan Jin belongs to the first-class mugwort, and it has been stored for three years, which is a precious wealth left to her by the superior doctor.
Mencius once said, "Seven years of illness should be sought for three years." It can be seen that the power of the three-year Ai is extraordinary, it is like the sun slowly driving away the cold in winter, slowly penetrating into the skin and bones, and driving away the disease.
Autumn is here, will winter be far away?
Because there were no washing machines in ancient times, they still had to soak in cold water to wash clothes in the cold winter days, so many women had a lot of cold in their bodies. Even the frostbite on the hands of the elderly, or the cold of the uterus at a young age and the difficulty of giving birth, or the old cold legs born in old age, are all related to the cold in the body.
Today, the autumn moxibustion activity organized by Nan Jin is to let everyone have a good year.
Because the temperature has dropped in autumn, and some patients are weak, in order to prevent them from suffering from wind and cold before they can prevent illness, Nan Jin chose two hours: noon and non-time.
"Dr. Nan Jin, can my menstrual cramps be cured?" A weak woman with a vegetable basket by the creek came over, and she was a little embarrassed to come to Nan Jin and ask.
"Yes."
"However, I still have to cook for my husband at noon, and I have to wash up after cooking, can I be later?" The frail woman asked, after all, it was her duty to serve her husband and mother-in-law, and she couldn't even skip cooking for this.
"The reason why I chose this time is because I am afraid that everyone will freeze. It's a little late today, because you can't eat half an hour before and after moxibustion, and of course you can't go hungry. Tomorrow you cook early, come back again, and it's not too late to wash up when you get back. How is it? ”
Nan Jin didn't want to set this time, but there was no air conditioning in ancient times. At the time of moxibustion, the ghost door (another name for sweat pores) is wide open, and if the evil qi enters it, it will be troublesome if you get the wind and cold.
"Well, then I'll go back and ask!" The woman left a little disappointed.
For this kind of ancient woman who traditionally regards her husband as the sky, Nan Jin doesn't know what to say.
Obviously, her mother-in-law is also very talkative, Nan Jin once met them on the mountain beating winter dates, and she had to stuff her with a handful. Looks like it's not bad for her.
"Doctor Nan Jin, is it right for me to do moxibustion like this?"
"yes, yes."
"Doctor Nan Jin, the incense on our side has burned out, so don't we need moxibustion." A group of ladies who had already come over there had already finished a stick of incense (half an hour).
"Don't really say it, I feel a little more alive after this moxibustion."
"That's not it, Dr. Nan Jin in our village has nothing to say."
Nan Jin is teaching a novice how to moxibustion, originally let the veteran teach the novice, but the old lady didn't trust other people's methods, so Nan Jin had to teach it herself. I didn't hear what they said later, otherwise I would be embarrassed again.
"Hey, auntie, don't move yet, you have to moxibustion half a pillar of incense. An An, go get another stick of incense. ”
"Okay." An An has been playing Baduanjin with Nan Jin every day recently, and her body is much tougher.
With so many patients today, she didn't feel tired at all.
"Auntie, hold the back in your hand, facing this position, first near and then far, like a bird pecking something, this is called finch pecking. Do you try? ”
The old woman took a long moxa stick, carefully learned Nan Jin's moxibustion, and still recited words in her mouth.
"Little by little, little by little......"
"Yes, you're a fast learner." Nan Jin encouraged him at the right time.
"We also have a moxibustion method that goes around in circles, called whirlwind moxibustion. You see, that's it, go around this place in circles. Nan Jin held the patient's hand and taught while circling, and the patient quickly learned again.
"We also have the last simple one, which is called gentle moxibustion, which is to stay in this position, which is an inch away from the skin." Nan Jin put the moxa sticks on the right height for her.
"These three methods have to be rotated, you know?"
"Understood." The old lady is a self-proclaimed smart person, she learned it with Dr. Nan Jin herself, and she can teach others with a clear technique.
"You do it again, I'll see."
"First little by little, then in circles, and then just leave it here."
"You're doing it right!" Nan Jin clapped her hands in appreciation.
The old lady couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"In your position, first moxibustion a pillar and a half of incense. You just sit there and look at the incense. The incense that Nan Jin was referring to was just brought by An An.
"Okay, Doctor Nanjin, you go get busy."
Nan Jin's moxibustion method is the suspension moxibustion method, because it is simple and convenient to operate, and most importantly, it does not blister and scar.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Nan Jin still doesn't understand why scar moxibustion was so popular in ancient times.
