Chapter 32 Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Jason also looked at Ding Changsheng suspiciously, and then at Johnny Stott.

Is the person you introduced reliable or not?

"Jennie, I know that Mr. Johnson has diabetes and spinal stenosis.

This type of diabetes is called diabetes in Chinese medicine.

Diabetes is divided into several types in Chinese medicine.

Mr. Johnson's diabetes is caused by the deficiency of qi and blood, which leads to the loss of nourishment of the five internal organs.

And Mr. Johnson's spinal stenosis cervical spondylosis is also caused by the weak yin and yang of qi and blood, blockage of yang qi, and poor blood flow. This is called blood paralysis in Chinese medicine.

Therefore, the two seemingly unrelated diseases are actually a disease of weak Qi and blood.

The method of treatment is also the same, tonifying ying and wei, nourishing liver and kidney, replenishing qi and blood, nourishing yin and nourishing blood.

If the qi and blood are sufficient, the disease qi will disappear, and diabetes and spinal stenotic spondylosis will be cured naturally. "Ding Changsheng talked a lot about the theory of Chinese medicine, and directly confused Johnny Stott and Jason.

I just feel that there is a kind of unconsciousness that is very powerful.

"Ding Changsheng, can you cure my disease?" Jason looked at Ding Changsheng expectantly and asked.

"Yes! In this way, I will first use massage techniques to relax the muscles on both sides of your cervical spine and around the neck, and then perform moxibustion to help you relieve the pain and allow you to return to normal walking temporarily. Then I will prescribe you some traditional Chinese medicine. You go back and take it.

Three days later, come back for a follow-up visit. "Ding Changsheng's calm words surprised Jason.

Wasn't the purpose of his going to the hospital for surgery before, to restore his normal walking and alleviate the pain?
As a result, the hospital was unable to perform surgery because of his underlying disease. Unexpectedly, there was no way out, and there was another village.

An ancient poem suddenly popped up in Jason's mind.

"If Mr. Ding can relieve some pain from my illness, I will be very grateful!" Jason said solemnly.

He didn't dare to hope for a full recovery, he only wanted to relieve some of the suffering from the illness.

Ding Changsheng naturally understood the meaning of Jason's words. He still didn't believe that he could cure his illness, and he didn't explain much.

This kind of thing, no matter how much it is said, it is better to do it.

When he cured Jason's illness by himself, it would be more effective than any words.

Ding Changsheng invited Jason to the treatment room and began to massage him.

Massage mainly focuses on local muscle relaxation.

Use the holding method to stimulate the Fengchi points on both sides, the Jiaji points on both sides of the cervical spine and the Jianjing points on both sides, and finally use your fingers and palms to push from Jianjing to both sides to gradually decompress the spinal cord.

Then use one-finger Zen pushing method, rolling method, pulling method, pushing method, holding method, pressing and kneading method to relieve limb spasm.

This step alone took more than half an hour.

"Huh!" After Ding Changsheng's massage, Jason let out a sigh of relief.

"Ding Changsheng, are you done?"

"After the massage, how do you feel?" Ding Changsheng asked with a smile.

"When you were massaging just now, I had the urge to die. It was so uncomfortable." Jason was already sweating profusely.

Just now, the sound of Jason crying and howling wolves directly woke up Jin Shuzhen who was sleeping on the third floor. She went downstairs to take a look before going back to sleep.

"Traditional Chinese medicine says that pain means blockage, and blockage means pain. Your meridians are blocked, so you will feel very uncomfortable, soreness, numbness, and pain, which is more unbearable than simple severe pain." Ding Changsheng explained very understandingly.

"Yeah! It's really uncomfortable!" Jason said with lingering fear.

Do it again, Jason really can't guarantee that he still has the courage to do it again.

"It's okay, now your muscles are loosened and the pressure on your spine is down.

Next, I will do moxibustion for you. Except for a little heat, it will not be uncomfortable. Ding Changsheng comforted him with a smile.

Start preparing to do moxibustion for Jason.

Jensen's spinal stenosis cervical spondylosis is also a type of cervical spondylosis of the spinal cord. It is mainly caused by the weakness of qi and blood, yin and yang, blockage of yang qi, poor blood circulation and compression of nerves, resulting in limited movement of limbs, dizziness and other symptoms.

If you want to treat or alleviate it, naturally you can't use acupuncture to vent, but you should use moxibustion tonic.

According to the explanation of [Huangdi Neijing. Lingbi]: "Acupuncture is a venting method, and moxibustion is a tonic method."

Therefore, Ding Changsheng used moxibustion.

Moxibustion can activate visceral functions, boost metabolism, and accelerate the circulation of qi and blood.

There are many kinds of moxibustion, such as moxa roll moxibustion, warm needling moxibustion, direct moxibustion, electronic moxibustion and so on.

Ding Changsheng used warm needling moxibustion. First, he inserted the needles into the corresponding acupuncture points, then put the moxa on the needle handle, lit it, and let the heat flow along with the silver needles.

This moxa is not ordinary moxa, but a special one, which contains powders made from various medicinal materials such as cinnamon, dried ginger, cloves, lovage, asarum, angelica, and realgar.

The needles used for moxibustion were not the silver needles that Ding Changsheng usually used for acupuncture, but a special alloy needle.

After the moxa was burned, the needle was kept for another 5 minutes, and then the needle was removed.

"Ding, you're amazing. I'm more nervous than I am doing surgery." When Ding Changsheng was doing moxibustion for Jason just now, Janice Stott didn't dare to say anything until Ding Changsheng took off the needle. Dare to speak.

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated. I'm just operating on the surface of the human body. Unlike Jenny, you always open the belly for surgery." Ding Changsheng laughed.

"No, no! Dear Ding, I'm a neurosurgery doctor, don't compare me with those doctors in the general surgery department." Gene Stoute corrected him seriously.

"Okay! Neurosurgery is more sophisticated. You should all have a very large heart." Ding Changsheng shrugged and said with a smile.

What kind of surgery Johnny Stout is, it doesn't matter to him.

"It's different! When I do surgery myself, I'm never nervous because I believe in myself, I can, I can do my surgery.

However, watching other people's surgery, and Ding's moxibustion, I still get nervous. "Jennis Stott was a little stumbled, but Ding Changsheng still heard what he said.

To put it bluntly, he is extremely confident and full of doubts about others.

"Mr. Ding, thank you! Thank you so much!" Jason, who was dressed, excitedly shook Ding Changsheng's hand, and thanked him a series of times.

After the massage, Jensen felt relaxed, and after the moxibustion, Jensen felt like he had lifted a big rock.

He was so relaxed that he wanted to jump up and celebrate.

"Jensen, if you have time, it is best to do moxibustion for a week, so that the effect will be better." Ding Changsheng reminded.

It's definitely not that Ding Changsheng wants to catch a sheep and squeeze the wool hard because he sees that Jason is rich.

Moxibustion needs a course of treatment to achieve the effect, and a single treatment can only relieve it, and even some techniques are trendy, and there is no effect at all.

"I have time, I have time!" Jason said quickly.

　Thanks to [Sword Soul Platform], [Long Fei a], [Blood Fang Fang Yu] and other brothers for their rewards, thank you for your support.
