Chapter 97 Massage for colds

"Honey, you're really amazing!" Zhang Xin hugged Ding Changsheng's arm a little excitedly after seeing Henrik and the others off.

In just one hour, he earned 20.

This does not include medical expenses.

One application of ointment costs five thousand dollars.

This is simply a money grab.

If it was against Chinese people, Zhang Xin would definitely call Ding Changsheng black.

However, since the other party was an American, Zhang Xin would only praise Ding Changsheng for being amazing.

"Changsheng, what kind of ointment is that? You don't use any contraband, do you?" Zhou Linlin thought more and asked worriedly.

"It's musk strong bone ointment!" Ding Changsheng laughed.

"Musk bone strengthening paste? You can't be?" Wang Linna thought of something, and looked at Ding Changsheng with her mouth open.

The musk bone strengthening ointment is good, but he replaced one of the medicines with the original medicine.

As the name suggests, there must be musk in the musk bone strengthening paste, followed by leopard bone.

The leopard bone was modified later, and the original recipe used tiger bone.

The laws in the United States are very complicated, and it is completely a rich man's game.

Wealthy people in the United States take pleasure in keeping tigers as pets, so an industrial chain has been derived from breeding cubs to selling and recycling all kinds of dead tigers.

Every year, a large number of tigers die due to various reasons. They are skinned and cramped, their bones and flesh are removed, their heads are made into specimens, and their skins are used as trophies.

As for tiger bones, they will naturally flow into the market, and their whereabouts are unknown.

These are not a big deal in the eyes of the rich, but it is a felony for the poor.

Being criticized by the media will also be punished with a fine and imprisonment for a felony.

The severity is even more serious than that of the prison in China.

"Okay, let's not discuss this matter, everyone, hurry up and follow these two prescriptions to make medicine!" Ding Changsheng handed the two prescriptions he had just written to Zhou Linlin.

These two prescriptions, one is Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, which is Henrik’s, and it is used to treat diabetes with stagnant blood stasis. .

After explaining to the three women, Ding Changsheng started to take the medicine himself.

First use a small Chinese herbal medicine grinder to grind all the medicinal materials into ingredients.

The times are developing, Ding Changsheng will naturally not do things that are traditional for the sake of tradition.

For example, there are obviously more labor-saving flour mills, but traditional medicine cutters, medicine mills, pestles and mortars must be used to grind the flour.

That is too troublesome and too slow.

Using a powder mill won't hurt the properties of the medicine, so why bother with yourself?

I often see some short videos, obviously there are more advanced tools that are not used, but the original tools must be used, saying that they respect tradition.

Ding Changsheng only has two words for such a short video, idiot.

It's purely for pretense and to attract traffic.

There is no market for a lot of handicraft inheritance, or some people stick to the rules and don't know how to change.

Handicraft is originally a kind of craft that exists to improve the life and quality of life of the broad masses of the people.

If you insist on elevating it to the height of a work of art, the final result will be its demise.

Things that belong to the common people must eventually return to the common people, and it is better to let the public accept it than anything else.

Only by using advanced tools and reducing production costs can it be more easily accepted by the public.

Just like Ding Changsheng's hand-made musk bone strengthening paste, if there is no mill and you have to grind it by hand, when will you have to get it?

Let alone five thousand dollars a post, even ten thousand dollars a post, Ding Changsheng didn't even bother to do it.

It is too troublesome to grind all kinds of medicinal materials such as tiger bone into powder.

Grind the medicinal materials into powder, then add water and put it on the fire to boil, bring to a boil with strong fire, and then change to simmer and cook slowly.

While cooking, stir slowly with chopsticks to prevent the powder from sinking to the bottom.

until the powder turns into a paste.

If it is made into a pill, it needs to be mixed with honey. It is not necessary to make an ointment. It can be boiled into a paste.

What Ding Changsheng does at a time is for more than ten days. When it's time to use it, dig out a little, put it on the linen cloth, bake it, and stick it directly to the affected area.

Boiling medicine, especially making it into ointment is very troublesome. Naturally, Ding Changsheng will not boil it slowly by himself, there are three maids who cook medicine.

After Ding Changsheng ground the medicine powder, he handed it to Zhang Xin.

It wasn't just for laziness, Yulia Diallo came back with two children.

Ding Changsheng tested the child's temperature with his hands, and it looked like 38 degrees.

An ice pack was tied to each of the two children's heads.

Other than that, there are no other remedial measures.

If this was in China, he would have been taken by his parents for a bottle injection.

Ding Changsheng took the children's hands and took their pulse.

Confirm that there is no other disease, just a cold and a fever.

Ding Changsheng gently massaged the child's Quchi, Hegu and Waiguan points.

Of course, this gentle kneading does not require a little effort.

If the strength cannot enter the acupuncture points, the effect of stimulating the acupuncture points will not be achieved, and no matter how long you massage the acupuncture points, the effect will not be very good.

But if you use too much force, if you don't know how to use force, just use all your strength to rub it, it will be very painful.

The child will definitely cry.

Therefore, practicing martial arts in Chinese medicine is still very useful.

Whether it is acupuncture or massage, only with skill and knowing how to use force can the maximum effect be exerted.

Really achieve the purpose of using needles as medicine and hands as medicine.

After a few minutes of kneading like one child, both children were covered in sweat.

"Okay! Don't let them run around. When the sweat disappears, their illness will be cured." Ding Changsheng said to Julia Diallo with a smile.

"Boss, are they ready? This is simply amazing!" Yulia Diallo shouted in amazement.

"You saw it with your own eyes, it was so amazing!

They belong to cold and cold, sweat out, and the disease will be cured naturally. Ding Changsheng laughed.

"It's amazing, amazing China, amazing Chinese medicine!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it, such a simple cure for a cold and fever. "Julia Diallo exclaimed.

"Okay! Take the children upstairs!" Ding Changsheng smiled and patted the heads of the two children.

"Thank you sir! I feel better now!"

"Thank you sir, I'm much better now, I don't feel bad at all!"

Julia Diallo's two children thanked Ding Changsheng very politely.

"You're welcome!" Ding Changsheng laughed.

After sending away the thankful Yulia Diallo, Zhou Linlin asked curiously: "Changsheng, is this also the effect of kung fu?

Massaging Quchi, Hegu, and Waiguan acupoints can dispel wind, relieve exterior and reduce fever.

However, if other people massage, it takes at least two or three times to be effective. "

"Yes! This is the effect of kung fu on massage. Whether it is massage or acupuncture, they are all aimed at stimulating acupuncture points and ultimately achieving the purpose of curing diseases.

Ordinary people don't know how to use force, so the natural effect will be poor. "Ding Changsheng explained patiently.

　Today I have diarrhea, which makes me feel weak all over.Can only lie on the bed and code.

　　It's been a long time since I used my mobile phone to code words, and I'm really not used to it.
