Chapter 66: The Definition of Health

"Dr. Lu, how do I feel like my chest is a little hot."

"Is it hot or lukewarm?"

"Hmm~ It's warm, it's quite comfortable."

"Okay, that's all for today's acupuncture treatment, I'll prescribe you another medicine."

Warmth means that it is not an evil heat, so this tonic laxative can be regarded as achieving its goal.

Xinyang turned around, and the next thing was to use medicine to replenish the qi and blood in Wei Jun's body.

Don't look at Wei Jun's fat physique now, I think he doesn't need to make up for it, many people's fat is actually fat, such as overwork, people will overwork and fat.

Just like the parts of your body can only support your normal operation of one hundred and four, but when you reach one hundred and eight or two hundred, the parts will be overloaded, and after a long time, these parts will be seriously worn, and there will naturally be a virtual performance.

This time, Lu Jiu did not prescribe gentian laxative liver soup to Wei Jun, but scattered freely.

The main function of Longgan Liver Epsom Liver Decoction is to clear away heat and dampness, and to clear the liver and channels, while the function of Xiaoyaosan is to relieve depression and nourish blood and strengthen the spleen.

Obviously, the latter is more suitable for the symptoms that Wei Jun exhibited.

Before coming to the medicine cabinet, Lu Jiu began to grab the medicine.

Glycyrrhiza glabra, angelica, poria cocos, white peony, atractylodes, bupleurum, ginger, mint.

In this formula, Bupleurum is the king's medicine, which plays the role of soothing the liver and relieving depression, reconciling the surface and the inside, white peony and angelica sinensis are the subordinate medicines, and the combination of the two can nourish the blood and soften the liver and regulate qi, and the atractylodes, Poria cocos, boiled licorice, peppermint, and ginger are adjuvants, and the main one is a Fuzheng.

In the process of dispelling evil spirits in medicine, it is also very easy to hurt the righteous qi, just like taking medicine will lose yang, and this righteous qi is actually the qi of our spleen and stomach.

Atractylodes, Poria cocos, and licorice are the medicines in the soup of the four gentlemen, and this prescription is a classic prescription for strengthening the spleen, and the three of them are regarded as adjuvants for Xiaoyaosan, which can strengthen the spleen, dispel dampness, keep qi, and stomach, and finally use peppermint and ginger to make medicines, promote lung qi and disperse liver qi stagnation.

After grabbing the medicine, Lu Jiu handed it to Wei Jun.

"This is medicine, take it, after you go back and drink it, record your body's reactions, such as how you sleep at night, whether the pain in your body has been reduced, and the stool is not very easy to discharge, etc., record it every day, which can be used as a data for your slow recovery in the future." Lu Jiudao.

In fact, Chinese medicine is very meticulous in its observation of the human body, especially for the state of health and illness, and has very strict standards at the macro level.

To put it simply, Chinese medicine divides the state of people into three levels, the first is health, that is, the state of not getting sick, at this time our body is in a state of yin and yang balance, we can eat, sleep and move, and there is no uncomfortable situation, at this time there is no problem with the function of the five internal organs.

This second level is symptomatic, maybe coughing, can't sleep, acne on the face, pain on the body, which is uncomfortable, anyway, it is usually imperceptible to the problem, at this time it is beginning to be highlighted, this is the body is telling you that the function of the five internal organs is beginning to have problems.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called yin and yang imbalance, and the symptoms that lead to this may be due to your own emotions, food, or weather. At this level, most people are just deficiency diseases, and some deficiency instruments can detect them, such as fever caused by poor health qi, and some deficiency diseases cannot be detected, such as spleen deficiency and diarrhea, oh, by the way, this level is also called sub-health.

When we have symptoms, if the physical fitness itself is better, then over time, these problems will slowly disappear, but some symptoms are more stubborn, if it has been dragged on, or the treatment is not thorough, then it begins to slowly evolve to the third level, which is the so-called illness, at this time, it is generally a deficiency disease that does not heal for a long time, and then transforms into real symptoms, such as cold and dampness blocking blood vessels, stones, polyps, and cancer, etc., modern medicine calls it organic lesions, to this step, The instrument is basically able to measure it.

Of course, it is not impossible to treat a disease in TCM, but compared with the stage when there are symptoms, after getting sick, especially for some difficult real diseases, there is really no way to do it in a low-level TCM.

Therefore, Chinese medicine does not treat the disease, and this is how it comes, if you have symptoms to find Chinese medicine, even if you can't meet some top Chinese medicine, you can also have a good curative effect, but once you reach the link of real disease, you must find a particularly high level of Chinese medicine, and then you have to look at their own character and luck, after all, there are not many Chinese medicine practitioners who can treat real diseases in the country, and Chinese medicine that can treat malignant real diseases such as tumors and cancers is even rarer.

Through such macro health standards, TCM can judge whether the direction of treatment is correct according to the patient's feelings, as long as the patient is uncomfortable from the beginning, to the later can eat, drink, walk and sleep, and there is no discomfort in the body, it means that the treatment is over.

It doesn't matter what blood lipids the patient has, how much blood pressure is, or whether the blood sugar is high or low, because no matter how accurate the data is, it cannot replace each patient's own "feeling".

"Doctor Lu, this medicine is to be taken after meals, right?" Li Xiaxia asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that this medicine is taken before meals." Lu Jiudao.

It is recorded in "Shennong's Materia Medica" that "those who are sick above the chest and diaphragm should eat first and then take medicine; If the disease is below the heart and abdomen, take medicine first and then eat; Those who are sick in the blood vessels of the limbs should be on an empty stomach; Those who are sick in the bone marrow should be full at night. ”

This is actually the method that the ancients figured out how to take medicine according to the changes in heaven and earth and the functions of the five organs of the human body.

In the morning, when the yang qi is rising, there is no food in the stomach and duodenum, there is no food and qi barrier, and the medicine can quickly enter the intestines and give full play to the effect, which is the disease in the blood vessels of the limbs, it is advisable to take an empty stomach and take prescriptions such as replenishing yang and invigorating qi, dissipating cold, and dissipating qi and blood, etc., should be taken in the morning or morning, so as to take advantage of the yang and prosperity of the day, and the yang energy of the human body will support yang and suppress yin with its abundant potential, and get rid of diseases.

If the disease is below the chest and abdomen, such as stomach and spleen, liver, kidney and other visceral diseases, it is advisable to take it before meals, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of drugs.

Above the chest and diaphragm is the upper coke of the heart and lungs, take the medicine after meals, the food qi is in the middle of the coke, the medicine qi is blocked in the upper coke, and the heart and lungs are overflowed with the medicine qi to play a role in the whole body. Like some antidotes for colds and coughs, phlegm and cough medicines, including medicines for headaches and chest paralysis, are suitable for taking after meals.

Those who are sick in the bone marrow should be full and at night, that is to say, the disease and evil go deep or prolong for a long time, and those who go deep into the bone marrow or hurt the essence of the spirit, qi and spirit, with the help of natural qi, the popularity of the night will converge, which is conducive to the arrival of the medicine to the sick place.

If you only take the medicine according to the way of three meals a day, the power of the medicine cannot reach a specific place at a specific time, and its efficacy will be somewhat reduced.

Lu Jiu had forgotten this stubble before, and the question asked by Li Xiaxia reminded Lu Jiu that when he asked the patient to drink medicine in the future, he must tell him the specific time.

"Oh, Doctor Lu, then we can drink this medicine after we go back." Li Xiaxia said.

"Hmm." Lu Jiudao.

"Dr. Lu, how much is it?" Li Xiaxia said.

"The consultation fee is fifty yuan, acupuncture is thirty yuan, and the prescription is nine yuan three, a total of eighty-nine yuan three." Lu Jiudao.

Less than a hundred?

Li Xiaxia and the others were slightly stunned.

This...... Are you sure you're not doing charity?
