I can hear the voice of Chinese medicine

Chapter 240 Eighteen against Nineteen Fear

After a dose of American ginseng decoction, not long after, the old man who had fainted slowly opened his eyes.

He opened his eyes, and when he saw Lu Xuan, there was confusion in his eyes: "What's wrong with me?"

"Old man, you just fainted. It was Dr. Lu who saved you." Seeing the old man wake up, his wife cried with joy and stepped forward and said.

The uncle was stunned for a while, then he came to his senses and nodded to Lu Xuan: "Lu... Doctor Lu, thank you."

"Uncle, this is what I should do. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise the consequences would have been serious." Lu Xuan waved his hand.

He wasn't trying to scare the other person by saying this.

He was suffering from weakness and fainting, and if he didn't get rescued in time, it would probably kill him.

It's better for young people. After all, their body functions are better and their lives will not be in danger in a short period of time.

But the uncle is already old and his body functions have deteriorated a lot. Once he faints, it is difficult to say whether he can wake up again.

Regarding the syndrome of lower asthenia and upper syncope, Lu Xuan remembered that there were several medical books that recorded this aspect.

Among them, "Su Wen·Fang Sheng and Xiao Lun Pian" says: "The reversal of less energy can make people have delusional dreams; it is extremely confusing."

"Lingshu·Benshenpian" says: "Deficiency of kidney qi will lead to relapse".

"Lingshu Wei Qi Pian" says: "Deficiency in the lower part leads to coma" and other scriptures can further explain the nature and crux of this syndrome.

If you see that he suddenly becomes unconscious, his six pulses are strong, and his cheekbones are red, you should think that he has suffered a stroke in old age, which is what we now call cerebral congestion. You should take laxatives or try to cool his head in an attempt to clear away heat and reduce fire. , lowering blood pressure in order to regain consciousness will inevitably lead to devastation and mischief.

This all shows that if the patient is not treated in time, even if it is fatal, it will cause great damage to the patient's body, and even this damage is irreversible.

That's why Lu Xuan said this.

It is unfortunate that the old man has this disease.

Maybe he could get timely treatment without causing any adverse effects. To a certain extent, the old man was extremely lucky.

The old man was not a fool. Naturally, he understood the meaning of Lu Xuan's words. He said with a happy face: "My old lady asked me to come yesterday. I was not willing to come. Now that I think about it, it's good that I came. Otherwise, I might have died." No one at home knows.”

The children of the old couple have all gone out to work. Except for coming back during the Chinese New Year, they rarely have time to go home. The old man is not in good health, so the wife is doing all the work at home. If she doesn’t have to accompany her today If he comes to Hui'an Pharmacy for medical treatment, his wife may still be working outside at this time.

The old man, on the other hand, stayed at home alone.

If he fainted alone at home, it would probably be noon when the old lady at home found out.

This kind of disease is generally not life-threatening if treated in time. However, if it is not treated in time, even if you are lucky and do not lose your life, your body will be greatly damaged.

"Grandma, let's let the uncle rest for a while first. When the medicine here is ready and the uncle has recovered a little, let's ask Manager Lin to find someone to take you back. Do you think it's okay?"

"This one……"

The uncle's wife is a typical rural woman. What she fears most is trouble others. When she heard this, she hesitated for a while, but after looking at the uncle, she finally agreed: "Well, thank you very much, Dr. Lu."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Mu again: "Manager Lin, thank you!"

Lin Mu knew that it was time for him to do something at this time, so he quickly stepped forward and helped the uncle to the side: "Just like Dr. Lu said, it's all what we should do. You can rest here for a while and wait for the medicine to be cooked." , I’ll have someone send it over, and it won’t be too late to send you back after I feel completely comfortable.”

The old man nodded and did not refuse.

This scene made many patients who came here with admiration secretly nod.

If there was a possibility that the others were people recruited by Hui'an Pharmacy, it was absolutely impossible for the old couple.

The uncle just fainted, and they all saw his pale face.

Needless to say, Dr. Lu's ability was enough to save a person from such a serious illness just by relying on American ginseng.

After the uncle was helped to the side to rest, Lu Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Guangli on the side had too many doubts in his mind, but Lu Xuan was rescuing people just now, so it was not easy for him to ask. At this moment, Lu Xuan was free, and he couldn't help but said: "Doctor Lu, I watched the scene where you saved people just now. , I probably wrote down the medicine I used. One thing I’m curious about is, depending on the situation, wouldn’t it be better to use ginseng for this kind of disease?

Why did you choose American ginseng instead of ginseng in the end? Is there anything special about this? "

Not to mention he was curious, even many patients were curious.

Although not everyone has studied Chinese medicine, many people even don’t know much about Chinese medicine.

But we still know the difference between ginseng and American ginseng.

When it comes to saving people, ginseng is definitely more effective.

"Actually, there is a reason for this."

Lu Xuan paused and said: "Use 9 grams of American ginseng instead of ginseng to make soup to relieve the emergency, just to prevent hair loss.

The patient's body Qi is greatly deficient and the disease is in a critical attack. It is very likely that the patient will be expelled from the disease, and may even be unable to be saved.

Using American ginseng is the method of "treating the symptoms when it is urgent". As for those who do not use ginseng but use American ginseng, although ginseng has strong tonic power, it is suitable for patients with pure yang deficiency and small pulse. Patients with yin deficiency and yang excess will have a large and protruding pulse. There is a risk of using ginseng to counteract the deficiency of fire.

American ginseng is good at nourishing body fluids and is best at clearing and tonic, so it is most effective for these syndromes. "

Zhang Guangli frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

What is the difference between the effects of American ginseng and ginseng?

The main function of ginseng is to replenish vitality; the main function of American ginseng is to nourish the lungs and reduce fire, nourish the stomach and promote fluid production.Replenishing qi and promoting fluid production, this is what they have in common.

The difference is that ginseng is warm and has a bitter taste. Warmness can replenish yang and dispel cold. Bitterness can remove dampness, while wetness can damage yang. Therefore, drying dampness can also help yang. American ginseng has a cooling effect, cooling can clear away heat and is sweet. The combination of coolness can not only clear away heat and nourish yin, but also produce fluid and quench thirst.Ginseng replenishes qi and tends to support yang; American ginseng replenishes qi and tends to nourish yin.Ginseng is better than American ginseng in replenishing qi, and American ginseng is better than ginseng in clearing away heat and promoting fluid production.

Ginseng is mainly used to treat physical weakness and desire to ejaculate, cold limbs and weak pulse, spleen deficiency and lack of food, lung deficiency and asthma and cough, thirst for body fluids and wounds, internal heat to quench thirst, chronic illness and weakness, palpitation and insomnia, impotence and cold uterus; heart failure and cardiogenic shock.It is used for shortness of breath, palpitations and forgetfulness, thirst and sweating, little food and weakness, all acute and chronic diseases and shock and collapse caused by blood loss.

American ginseng is generally used to treat symptoms such as yin deficiency and excessive fire, wheezing and coughing up phlegm and blood, febrile diseases that damage both qi and yin, tiredness and thirst, insufficient body fluids, dry mouth and tongue, intestinal heat and blood in the stool, such as flushed face, dry mouth, irritability and insomnia. people.

To put it simply, ginseng helps the fire. The uncle's disease is caused by deficiency of the lower body and upper body. If ginseng is used again, it will increase the fire of the deficiency. At that time, not only will it have no saving effect, but it will have the opposite effect.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangli also understood the key.

When he looked at Lu Xuan again, the shock in his eyes became more intense.

Most people don't notice these details.

It can only be said that Lu Xuan is not only superb in medical skills and has a photographic memory, but more importantly, he can put what he has learned to full use. He can notice what others notice and what others cannot. He can also take care of it, this is a real Chinese medicine doctor.

Seeing that Zhang Guangli had already understood the key, Lu Xuan smiled and added: "The prescription is mainly based on nourishing yin and quenching yang such as Baiguiban, Cuscuta, and Rehmannia glutinosa; Baifushen, Runyuanzhi, and Beiwumai are used to nourish the heart and refresh the mind. Auxiliary: Digupi and Artemisia annua are used to reduce floating heat in the blood; roasted astragalus, stir-fried Atractylodes, and roasted licorice replenish the Qi of the middle burner, connect the upper and lower parts, and serve as a liaison.

The roots of Astragalus are deeper than the seedlings, and have the strongest power to ascend and penetrate the whole body. Therefore, the ingredients in Buzhong Yiqi Decoction are the key ingredients, so as to achieve the functions of ascending kidney yin, lowering heart fire, and harmonizing each other.

As for the effect, Dean Zhang will naturally be able to see it after the uncle takes the potion. "

Zhang Guangli nodded and stopped asking any more questions, instead immersing himself in thinking about what Lu Xuan just said.

Although what Lu Xuan just said was not much, it was all the essence.

How to differentiate syndrome and how to use medicine after accurate syndrome differentiation are the most important for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

In particular, the compatibility between drugs is extremely important.

It is also the key to healing diseases.

One more medicine or one less medicine may not achieve the desired effect.

It's not even impossible to have the opposite effect.

Why is Chinese medicine gradually declining?

Is it really because Chinese medicine is not as fast as Western medicine in treating diseases?
it's not true.

A truly powerful Chinese medicine doctor, if the syndrome differentiation is accurate and there are no problems with the prescription, can basically produce excellent results after just one drink.

But the reality is exactly the opposite. Many prescriptions prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine are not effective in a short period of time. There is a problem with the compatibility of the drugs, and the prescription cannot be accurately prescribed, so the effect is naturally not that good.

Moreover, there are strict requirements on how to combine Chinese medicines with better compatibility, which medicines are best used together, and which medicines cannot be used together.

The most talked about compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine is the monarch, ministers and envoys. The basic situation of the use of traditional Chinese medicine can be summarized into seven aspects, namely, single line, mutual support, mutual use, mutual fear, mutual killing, mutual hatred and opposite, referred to as "seven emotions".

The single-line prescription includes "Dushen Decoction", which uses ginseng alone to replenish vitality and strengthen qi.

Xiangxu means that Chinese medicines with similar performance and efficacy are used together to enhance each other's effects, forming an effect of 1+1>2, such as ginger with scallions.

Xiangshi is one main drug and the other an auxiliary drug, such as astragalus and tuckahoe. Both of them are mainly used to treat edema due to spleen deficiency. Astragalus is the main drug for nourishing qi, strengthening the spleen, diuresis and reducing swelling, and tuckahoe is the auxiliary drug for strengthening the spleen and expelling dampness. To enhance the effect of astragalus on replenishing qi and promoting diuresis.

Xiangwei is often used in combination to kill viruses, which means that the toxic and side effects of one drug can be reduced or eliminated by another drug. For example, pinellia is afraid of ginger, so large doses of commonly used ginger are used to reduce the toxic and side effects of pinellia.

The opposite of killing each other and fearing each other, such as pinellia ternata fearing ginger can also be said to be ginger killing pinellia; mutual aversion means that the efficacy of one medicine will be weakened or even lost by another medicine, such as ginseng, radish seed, That is to say, radish seeds can reduce or even lose the efficacy of ginseng. The reason is that ginseng is a qi-tonifying medicine, while radish seeds have the effect of depleting qi. It is tonifying and depleting at the same time, which is naturally the case.

On the contrary, it refers to the content in "Eighteen Antis and Nineteen Fears", which is a compatibility taboo.

The motto of the Eighteen Antis is "The famous saying of the Materia Medica is the Eighteen Antis, half of the beetroots are used to fight against the crows, algae and halberds are used to fight against the grass, and all the ginseng and peony are against the hellebores."

Among them, half refers to Pinellia ternata, and Trichosanthes refers to Trichosanthes trichosanthes. There are three types of Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Trichosanthes trichosanthes rind, Trichosanthes trichosanthes kernels and Trichosanthes trichosanthes. The medicine is particularly expensive, with 1 gram costing about seven or eight yuan. The other one is Fritillaria fritillary, which is used to clear hot phlegm from the lungs; Sichuan Wu, Cao Wu, etc.

Nineteen Fear Songs: "Sulfur is originally the essence of fire. When it sees saltpeter, it will fight. Don't fight with mercury. Don't fight with arsenic. Wolfsbane is the most afraid of the Mitra monk. Croton is the most powerful. It doesn't go well with the morning glory. Don't fight with the lilac. When you see turmeric, it is difficult to combine with the three edges of Beijing. Sichuan Wu and Cao Wu do not go well with rhinoceros. Ginseng is most afraid of Wulingzhi. Guangui is good at regulating air conditioning. If you meet Shizhi, you will bully each other. Generally speaking, if you combine it, you will see good and bad luck. The artillery fire is not suitable for the fire."

These seemingly simple contents that only need to be memorized are what every Chinese medicine practitioner needs to keep in mind and pay attention to every time they prescribe medicine.

Moreover, different Chinese medicine practitioners will have different understandings of important compatibility.

No one dares to say that the prescription he prescribes is the most prepared, but Zhang Guangli has to admit that regardless of the final effect of the medicine Lu Xuan prescribed, the compatibility is the most reasonable that Zhang Guangli has ever seen.

Zhang Guangli lowered his head and thought.

On Lu Xuan's side, a middle-aged man helped a woman of about forty come forward. The middle-aged man who originally had no hope for this, after seeing the scene where Lu Xuan rescued the old man just now, , now looking at Lu Xuan, his eyes were full of hope: "Hello, Dr. Lu, my wife has been scared, panicked, and mentally uneasy because of major external stimuli before. I don't know what's going on. I can't even go to the hospital." I can’t see why, and I’ve taken a lot of medicine but it doesn’t have any effect…”

The middle-aged man talked a lot, and Lu Xuan listened quietly, but he did a pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis on the woman while the middle-aged man was talking about his wife's illness.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lu Xuan thought for a while and already made a judgment in his mind: "Is the patient usually prone to fright, fear, insomnia, and nightmares at night?"

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, exactly what you said, Dr. Lu."

At this time, the middle-aged man was ecstatic.

Dr. Lu can say it so clearly, what does it mean?
This means that Dr. Lu has judged his wife's illness. If he knows what the illness is, it will be easier to treat her. This middle-aged man is convinced of this.

Coupled with the fact that he had learned from the past, at this moment, he was full of confidence in Lu Xuan.

Dr. Lu will definitely be able to cure his wife.

for sure.
