Chapter 115 Licorice Aconite Soup with Flavor

"Who knows if what you said is true or not!" Lin Chaosheng said angrily.

People are like this, even if they know that other people study well, but when they see others playing, they can't help ignoring the fact that others study better than themselves, and join in the fun.

Ding Changsheng did not continue to chat with Lin Chaosheng, after all the patient is still waiting.

Walking to Wang Jianguo's side, Ding Changsheng carefully examined Wang Jianguo's knee. There was a hard nodule on it, about three centimeters in size.

"Uncle Wang, do you have any lumps like this in other places, such as the back of your feet, toes, and heels?" Ding Changsheng asked.

"Yes! I have a bump on my heel, which is smaller than the one on my knee." Wang Jianguo took off his shoe and showed it to Ding Changsheng.

Ding Changsheng glanced at it, and then touched it with his hand, "Master Wang, does it hurt if I press it like this?"

Just now Ding Changsheng saw that Wang Jianguo was wearing slippers. At first he thought that he was too old and not particular, and he liked to wear slippers that were light and comfortable.

It is said that people in Guangzhou, many rich people, like flip-flops and hurdle vests.

"It doesn't hurt!
My pimple doesn't hurt or itch, but recently, my knee hurts a bit! "Wang Jianguo replied truthfully.

"I see, I'll give you acupuncture later!" Ding Changsheng stood up and said with a smile.

"Didn't they do it for me?" Wang Jianguo looked at Zhou Linlin and the others while speaking.

"They don't have an acupuncturist certificate, so they can't do acupuncture. I'll do it for you myself!" Ding Changsheng casually found a reason.

"Xin'er, you take Uncle Wang to the treatment room!" Ding Changsheng confessed to Zhang Xin.

"Brothers, haven't you noticed the nodules on Uncle Wang's knees?" Ding Changsheng then turned and asked Lin Chaosheng and the others.

"I noticed it, I thought it was a lump caused by dampness, cold and blood stasis, but I didn't expect it to be on his feet too!" Zhou Linlin explained in a loud voice.

"When you see a doctor, you must be careful, and you must not let go of every doubtful point you find, and you must boldly seek proof!
Add another medicine to the prescription you prescribed just now, white mustard seeds! "Ding Changsheng briefly mentioned something, and then added a medicine to their prescription.

After all, he was not their teacher, so he could only make some suggestions, and Ding Changsheng couldn't force him to listen or not.

"You mean, Uncle Wang suffers from rheumatism block and phlegm stagnation at the same time?" Shi Lei reacted instantly when he heard that Ding Changsheng added white mustard seeds.

"Um!

If there are hard lumps simply due to habit, it can be explained as a congested lump caused by cold-dampness obstruction, but there are also lumps on the heel, which cannot be explained by cold-dampness obstruction.

It can only be blocked by phlegm and blood stasis! Ding Changsheng smiled and nodded.

Shi Lei's basic skills are still very solid, and he is worthy of being an opponent who often participates in skill competitions with him.

Although he is defeated, his level is not low.

White mustard seeds have the effect of reducing phlegm.

Zhang Jiebin, a great medical expert in the Ming Dynasty, once said: White mustard seeds eliminate phlegm addiction and eliminate fullness very quickly.

Guizhi’s dispelling wind dispels the wind, which means expelling dampness and expelling cold. Therefore, Gancao Fuzi Decoction with white mustard seeds can dispel wind, dampness, cold and phlegm.

Although there are only five medicines in the whole prescription, each medicine has its own effect, and the effect of combining it is one plus one or two.

Some people may say, why didn't you mention the effect of licorice?
Radix Glycyrrhiza is a monarch drug, which plays a role of harmony, can adjust yin and yang, and circulate qi and blood; it sits in the army and mixes the medicinal effects of the other four herbs.

After Ding Changsheng finished speaking, he turned and entered the treatment room.

Do acupuncture for Wang Jianguo.

The four of Lin Chaosheng hurried to the treatment room to watch Ding Changsheng give Wang Jianguo an injection.

Acupuncture is nothing to look at. When they practiced, they often learned acupuncture from the teacher.

However, after looking at it, I found that Ding Changsheng's acupuncture was completely different from that of the trainee teacher.

The technique is more skillful, especially the bullet needle, flicking it with one's fingers, the silver needle emits a buzzing sound, which lasts for a long time.

The buzzing sound of more than a dozen silver needles was mixed together, like a piece of chorused music, a bit pleasant to the ear.

Their trainee teacher can also flick the needle and make the silver needle hum, but the time is too short, only a few seconds.

It would be like Ding Changsheng, after playing a dozen silver needles, the buzzing of the first silver needle has not stopped for more than two to two minutes.

Lin Chaosheng and the others knew that the important thing about the needle was not the buzzing sound, but the buzzing sound represented the rapid vibration of the silver needle.

This tremor is the key to healing.

It is the same acupuncture and moxibustion, the same acupoints, the same technique, the difference lies here.

It can be said that the effect of Ding Changsheng's acupuncture once can reach the effect of seven or eight times of acupuncture by ordinary doctors.

"Retain the needle for 10 minutes, and Lin Chaosheng will give Uncle Wang an injection later!" After Ding Changsheng finished the needle, he explained and walked out of the treatment room.

Another patient came outside.

Business is very good today, receiving more than a dozen patients in the morning.

Because there were many patients and there was a tendency to queue up, Ding Changsheng unconsciously sped up the speed. Those who could not receive acupuncture did not need acupuncture, and all of them took decoction for treatment.

As I said before, acupuncture is also medicine in the hands of Chinese medicine.

Therefore, most diseases can be cured by acupuncture and decoction.

The three of Lin Chaosheng also helped to keep alive, Ding Changsheng took the pulse to see the doctor, and the three of Lin Chaosheng were responsible for recording the medical records and dispensing medicine.

Because of the large number of people, Ding Changsheng couldn't let them practice. He could only see a doctor by himself. They watched from the side, thinking about it based on the medical records and prescriptions.

If there is something you don't understand, ask Ding Changsheng when he is free.

As for Zhou Linlin and Zhang Xin, they were busy decocting medicine and shooting short videos in the backyard.

The morning was very fulfilling.

After lunch, Lin Chaosheng and the others went to rest on the third floor, while Zhou Linlin and Zhang Xin also rested in the master bedroom on the third floor.

Ding Changsheng drove back to the villa.

He wanted to go back and visit Wang Linna to see how she was doing, and if he could go to Changshengtang in the afternoon.

When Ding Changsheng returned to the villa, Wang Linna had just finished lunch and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The purpose of watching TV is not to follow dramas, but more to improve English communication as soon as possible.

With CET-[-] and CET-[-] English levels, it is still a little difficult to communicate with Laomei when I go abroad.

Especially medicine, involves a lot of medical vocabulary, if the level is not enough, it is easy to misunderstand.

For Wang Linna, Lin Chaosheng and others, the most urgent thing now is the English test. They must pass this test before they can take the acupuncturist exam.

"Senior Changsheng, why are you back?" Seeing Ding Changsheng, Wang Linna asked in surprise.

"I miss you, so I came back to see you!" Ding Changsheng sat on the sofa, put his arms around Wang Linna's waist, and said with a smile.

"I'm fine, I'll go to the clinic with you this afternoon!" Leaning in Ding Changsheng's arms, Wang Linna had a happy smile on her face.
