Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 21 White Tiger
Gardenia's words hit their hearts. Qi Laosan and his wife were overjoyed. They thanked Gardenia profusely and said that Gardenia had sent them a cute, fat son. He is your benefactor.

"We will treat Xiao An like our own son. Don't worry." Mrs. Qi assured her again and again, holding An He in her arms and loving her.

Next, Gardenia checked Mrs. Qi’s pulse.

"Girl, this is probably a minor illness of mine. Is it okay?" Qi's Aunt Feng asked uneasily.

Gardenia first felt for her pulse, and then observed her complexion and tongue coating. She found that her face was often red, her whole body was hot, and she sweated a lot, often soaking her clothes. As a result, She also often wants to drink water, and her pulse is strong and strong.

Aunt Feng's illness does seem like a minor illness at first sight. However, if it is treated as an ordinary wind-cold-dry-heat condition and not treated carefully, over time, it may cause a serious disease in a certain part of the body. If the time comes to seek medical treatment, I'm afraid It's hard to save the gods.

She didn't want to scare Aunt Feng, so she followed her instructions, nodded slightly, and reached out her hand to touch her forehead. Sure enough, she was having a fever. Looking at her face, she deduced that Aunt Feng should have been there for a while. They are all in fever.

Gardenia secretly thought: Fortunately, this disease was discovered early.

She glanced at Aunt Feng, then smiled and said, "I'll make a prescription. Just ask Uncle Qi to take the medicine according to the prescription. Do you have a pen and paper?"

Qi Laosan hurriedly went to the house to find paper and pen, and saw Gardenia solemnly writing the three words "White Tiger Soup" on the yellow paper, followed by several herbs and the required amounts, and usage:

One pound of gypsum, broken (6 qian), six liang of anemarrhena, 6 liang of licorice, 1 qian of roasted rice, [-] qian and eight pieces of japonica rice.

For the above four flavors, boil the rice with a bucket of water and make a soup. Remove the water and take one liter of it warm, three times a day.

"Girl, this is..." Qi Laosan has seen a lot of the world. Although he believes that Gardenia is not a bad person, it can be seen that she is still a little hesitant at a young age. He took her prescription and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't tell. A bright hall.

"Oh, this recipe is called Baihu Decoction." Seeing him like this, Gardenia patiently explained to him, "It is mainly used to diagnose and treat excessive heat in the Yangming Qi caused by febrile diseases. Aunt Feng's internal heat is blazing. She drank a lot of water but still felt thirsty, but unlike diabetes, she sweated, had fever, flushed face and ears, and secreted fluids."

Gardenia paused and then said, "To treat this disease, one should directly clear away the internal heat, relieve troubles and promote fluid production. The gypsum in this recipe is pungent, sweet and cold, and is most suitable for clearing away the heat evil in the Yangming Meridian, dispelling heat from the surface, eliminating troubles and quenching thirst. , so it is reused as a monarch medicine. Anemarrhena is bitter and cold in nature, and its bitter coldness can help gypsum to clear away excess heat in the lungs and stomach. Its warm texture can nourish yin and moisturize dryness to save yin, so it is a ministerial drug. In this way, the combination of monarch and minister can both But the Qingqi is very hot and can nourish yin and promote fluid production, so the medicinal effect will be very good."

Qi Laosan saw that what she said was reasonable and sound, and he was no longer suspicious, "Okay, girl, thank you very much. I will follow the prescription and go to the drug store in the nearby market to get the medicine."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gardenia stopped him again, "I prescribed this prescription, but you can't show the prescription to anyone except taking the medicine, and don't pay attention to what the person who took the medicine said."

Qi Laosan nodded and went out.

Not long after, he came back with the medicine. When he saw Gardenia, he said, "How did the girl know the prescription you prescribed? What would the doctor who took the medicine say?" Gardenia had already expected it, but she still asked , "Oh, then Uncle Qi went to grab the medicine. What did the medicine man say after looking at the prescription?"

"He said that this white tiger soup is used to clear away heat and promote fluid production, and is specially designed to treat excessive heat in Yangming Qi. But why did he add five japonica rice to the white tiger soup? He also said... the girl's recipe was made randomly, not a traditional one. The doctor will give you medicine." The more Qi Laosan said, the more he lowered his head, a little afraid to look at Gardenia.

"The prescriptions I prescribe are naturally different from those prescribed by doctors in pharmacies. But I have my own reasons." Gardenia laughed. This Baihu Decoction is specially designed to treat Yangming stomach meridian with heat. Japonica rice is a grain with sweet and soothing properties. The function of "retention" is that it can prevent the monarch and ministerial drugs in the prescription from "going down quickly", but stay in the stomach. This combination ensures that the medicinal power is retained in the middle burner, so as to maximize the "clearing" effect of Baihu Decoction.

It was impossible for her to explain all these pharmacological principles to the Qi family one by one, and they might not quite understand them, so she explained them in simple words. Finally, she took out the thousand-year-old medicine from her arms. Ginseng, I took out a knife I carried with me and cut off another piece.

When Qi Laosan saw that she wanted to slice a ginseng that had grown into a human shape, he knew it was a good thing. He thought to himself: This girl took great pains to treat his wife's illness, and she actually used something like ginseng.

This kind of ginseng that has grown into a human form is rarely seen in a remote place like their Yuquan Township.

As soon as the Gardenia knife was raised, but before it fell, the Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng started wailing and screaming, and twisted his fat "body" in an exaggerated manner.

Fortunately, it was only crying with its spiritual power, and only Gardenia could hear it. Otherwise, wouldn't the Qi couple be shocked if they heard it?
"What are you yelling about? I haven't cut it yet?" Gardenia lowered her voice and secretly said to Millennium Ginseng, but seeing his exaggerated cry, she felt a little funny, and the corners of her lips twitched.

"My little ancestor, last time you treated that old man Ji, you couldn't help but remove a piece of my flesh, wuwuwu..." Thousand-year-old ginseng shouted, "Doesn't it take some time for me to grow back? You...you...you refuse to feed me your blood, how can I grow fleshy? I don't want to, I want to go home, I don't want you to cut my flesh..."

"Okay, okay, okay, next time I want to cut your flesh, you can remind me to feed you some blood." Gardenia coaxed it in a low voice, so to speak, this thousand-year-old ginseng is probably thinking of waiting. The next time I was cut, I drank her blood, so I no longer made any noise.

Gardenia carefully cut off a small piece and handed it to Qi Laosan, "After the medicine is boiled and drained, add this piece of ginseng to the first medicinal soup. I guarantee that Aunt Feng's illness will be cured soon."

Qi Laosan also noticed that the ginseng stick in Gardenia's hand was unusual, and he was a little hesitant to take it, "This is..."

"Oh, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng in human form. I happened to meet it when I went up the mountain to collect medicine."

After hearing this, Qi Laosan happily took it and took it to the kitchen to make medicine.Mrs. Feng of the Qi family has been holding the sleeping An He with her eyes full of love.

Sure enough, after taking the medicine, Mrs. Feng of Qi's fever immediately subsided, and the rest of the day was spent taking care of Mrs. Feng's body.

The delay in treating Aunt Feng at Qi Laosan's house lasted for more than half a month. Aunt Feng's illness was getting better day by day, and her body and bones were getting stronger. Gardenia knew that the day of separation from her younger brother Xiao An was coming.
