Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 311 Pressing the Needle
"You kid..."

Zhang Laizi glanced at Wang Chengzhou, lowered his head and lectured:
"I'm a health worker, a decent person who treats the common people. Why do I look down on you?"

"My child, there are always good people and bad people in this world. You can't think that everyone in the village is bad just because the people in the village look down on us."

"Come here and tell me what's wrong with you. You've already come to your door, so what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but look at him high.

As the saying goes, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.This lame man married a stupid wife and was bullied all day long, but he still has such a kind heart. No wonder he was able to raise a good son.

"I see."

Xiao Baozi lowered his head in response and walked up slowly. When he got closer, his limbs couldn't help but twitch again. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying to resist the urge to wink, but there was a burst of pain in his throat. Weird noise.

The little guy obviously had a very strong self-esteem. Because he couldn't control himself from being embarrassed in front of outsiders, his little face was full of frustration, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

In fact, this symptom is a very typical convulsion caused by spleen deficiency and liver hyperactivity. If it is more serious, it is also called eclampsia, which mostly occurs in children.

From the perspective of Western medicine, this disease is generally thought to be caused by psychological and neurological factors, and patients are often prescribed antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone and clonidine.

But those things are used to treat schizophrenia and have huge side effects.

From this, we can predict what will happen if a child with tics takes such a bunch of drugs.

I have to say it again, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different treatment theories. The so-called integration of Chinese and Western medicine is sometimes just a gimmick.

Wang Chengzhou sighed secretly and said softly:
"Xiao Maozi, don't be nervous."

"There are all kinds of diseases in the world with different symptoms. Therefore, in the eyes of some ignorant people, if they encounter something they have never seen before, they attribute it to ghosts and gods. That is because they are ignorant."

"My uncle, I happened to have encountered your disease before. Moreover, it is not difficult to treat. As long as you are willing to obey, I guarantee that you can recover in a week at most. At that time, you can be with Xiao Shengnan again. played."

Xiao Maozi raised his head in surprise, his eyes sparkling, and he said excitedly:

"Really?"

"Da, is this really just a disease? Isn't it the reincarnation of evil spirits as people outside say?"

"I really want to get better soon."

After all, he was a three- or four-year-old kid, and he must have been holding back a lot of grievances. When he heard his words, his mouth tightened, and he cried on the spot, wiping away his tears.

Zhang Laizi was even more excited. Only then did he remember that he had come all the way and he hadn't even given up his words.But I was moving around with my crutches, and when I reached out to the bowl, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart. I asked with an unnatural expression, "Mother Wang, can I pour you a bowl of water?"

"Uncle, I'm not thirsty."

Wang Chengzhou smiled and shook his head, casually pulled a stool and sat on it, holding Xiao Baozi's little hand instead, "You don't have to be busy, I just came here after eating in the morning, why would I be thirsty?"

"Come and sit."

"I'll check Xiao Baozi's pulse first and give him some medicine to take."

Zhang Laizi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, wiped his eyes slightly, and quickly walked back with a cane, standing quietly aside to watch him check his baby's pulse.

This man is also very considerate. He is afraid of losing etiquette and worries that others will dislike the things in his house that are dirty.So, just pouring a bowl of water can become so entangled.

After all, his woman is a fool, and it is enough for him to be touched that a handsome young man can come to his home without caring. He is afraid that he will not entertain her well and make her feel bored.

My precious son is all counting on others!

After Xiao Mianzi became abnormal, it was not that Zhang Laizi had not found a doctor for him, but at that time, everyone's medical level was really limited, and he couldn't afford to go to a big place, so he had no choice but to drag him along and resign himself to his fate.

Seeing the village health worker in front of him sitting at the door taking his son's pulse, Zhang Laizi was so excited that he wanted to shout loudly to show the scoundrels who were trampling on them.This is the unstoppable road, and God has sent people to save them!
Autumn pulse is like floating.

However, in the turmoil, Wang Chengzhou clearly felt that the pulse on Xiaowenzi's left hand was thin and stringy, and the pulse on his right hand was slow and weak, which was an obvious pulse sign of spleen deficiency and liver exuberance.

As for the causes, they are generally caused by improper diet, mood swings, and work-rest disorders.

After taking a look at the simple furnishings in the house and half of the gable wall that had collapsed, I realized that for a child raised on mulberries, it was probably a luxury to have a full meal, so how could we talk about nutritional balance?
Deep love will not last, and wisdom will be hurt.

This child became sensible early and was obviously much smarter than his peers. However, because of this, he lost his innocence, coupled with his special family situation, he was exposed to many negative emotions prematurely, and depression was inevitable.

These two factors alone, accumulated over a long period of time, make it impossible not to get sick.

Wang Chengzhou forced a smile on his face, let go of Xiao Baozi's wrist, and said comfortingly: "It's not a serious illness, it can be cured with a few doses of medicine. You two, father and son, don't have to worry too much."

"Yes... is it?"

Zhang Laizi was leaning on crutches and couldn't help but take two steps forward and said gratefully: "Mother Wang, thank you so much." After saying these words of thanks, the man in his thirties wiped away his tears and his voice was choked with sobs. We’re not afraid of your jokes, you’ve seen everything going on in my family.”

"I, Zhang Chenggang, only had such a baby bump when I was thirty years old. I was afraid that he would have some shortcomings. But I was just afraid that something would happen, and he got such a strange disease inexplicably. We parents are really useless, and we have no I don’t have any money, so I can only watch him suffer, and my heart... feels like it’s fried all day long.”

"If you can cure my child today, you will be a great benefactor to my Zhang Chenggang family! We are all useless in this life, but in the next life, we will repay you by doing everything we can!"

As he said that, he was about to lie down on the ground.

"Uncle Zhang, no, no, no."

Wang Chengzhou quickly pulled him up, lamenting again in his heart, "I know, I know. Don't worry, these medicines don't cost much. If they don't work, you'll owe me."

"Actually, I prescribe the medicine mainly to help Xiao Mianzi recuperate his body. This child is growing up, and his body cannot be too depleted. Look at his little arms and legs, they must be replenished. .”

"As for the treatment, I, Wang Chengzhou, said something arrogant. I can cure him even without medicine, but it will just take a little longer."

Again, this man is lame, but he has a bright mind and a delicate mind.

As soon as Wang Chengzhou opened his mouth, he knew that he was worried about the medical expenses. He was afraid that he would not be able to afford the medicine, that he would not be able to pay for it, and even more afraid that he would give up on the treatment of his son.

Obviously he didn't know Wang Chengzhou, and he didn't know that he was a notorious enemy of the Wang family's production brigade. He treated villagers in the countryside, and sometimes he didn't make much money, but he often lost money.

Encountered a poor family and cured his illness. When it was his turn to ask for money, he couldn't even open his mouth...

When Zhang Laizi heard this, he really couldn't control himself. An old man burst into tears, and then he pulled his son over and kowtowed to Wang Chengzhou.Now, he was really embarrassed to refuse.

Moreover, Xiao Mianzi is a three-year-old child, and in terms of seniority, he calls his second sister grandma, so there is nothing wrong with receiving a courtesy from him.

Seeing the father and son so grateful, bowing and kowtowing to each other, the villagers who were watching were very surprised. Finally they couldn't help but gathered around, crowded at the gate, and stretched their necks to watch.

They were really curious beyond words.

First, I wonder why Zhang Laizi's stupid wife didn't beat him; second, I wonder why he deceived his father and son into being so respectful to him with just a few words; and the most curious thing is that since things have become like this, if he can't be cured Sick, how will today end?

Seeing Xiao Baozi kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to others, a big head poked out from the edge of the door frame, staring straight at them.

It was none other than Xiao Baozi’s idiot wife.

In fact, Wang Chengzhou understood her situation when he entered the courtyard.This tall and thick-set woman has clear eyes and a dark and shiny face. At first glance, she looks like a person with full energy and blood and a very healthy body.

Such a person can never be an epileptic patient.

The reason why she is stupid is probably because she was born stupid, or she is mentally retarded.The word "retarded" here is not derogatory, but refers to the kind of person whose intellectual development is not perfect.His IQ is estimated to be equivalent to that of a child of a few years old, and may not even be as good as his own son.

In addition, she has a fierce temperament and is eager to protect her children, so she is often irritable and irritable.

The reason is that those villagers behave badly, like to bully the weak, and always use words to scare Xiao Peizi.Motherhood is innate, even if you are mentally retarded, you will fight to the death to protect your child.

Knowing this, Wang Chengzhou felt much more magnanimous.She was treating her son's illness. Although she was mentally retarded, she still knew how to treat him well and would definitely not do anything to her.

Sure enough, things were exactly as he expected.

Wang Chengzhou smiled, glanced at the idiot wife peeking at the door, and said to the father and son:
"The fundamental principle of treating tics in children is to calm liver wind."

"You won't understand even if I talk too much. You only need to remember the three acupuncture points below and rub them every morning and evening to relieve his blinking, grinning, shaking his head, facial muscle twitching and other symptoms."

"These three acupoints are Fengchi point under the occipital bone at the back of the head, Jingming point at the inner corner of the eye, and Baihui point on the top of the head."

Zhang Chenggang quickly came closer, pressed his son's head and asked: "Wang, Health Nurse, which three acupuncture points are they? You...you say it again so that I can remember it well."

Wang Chengzhou smiled and pointed at Xiao Baozi, repeated it three times in a row, and asked: "Do you remember?"

"Should...should be able to remember."

Zhang Chenggang scratched his head, obviously a little unsure.

"Dad, I have remembered these few parts clearly."

Xiao Baozi lowered his head, his neck was a little sore, and promised:

"The Fengchi point under the occipital bone at the back of the head, the Jingming point at the inner corner of the eye, and the Baihui point in the center of the top of the head."

"I remember everything my uncle taught me."

"If you can't remember, I'll explain it to you later. Don't let me teach you over and over again. It'll be troublesome."

Wang Chengzhou couldn't help stroking his hands and laughing.

This kid's IQ and EQ are top-notch, very good.

A smile finally appeared on Zhang Chenggang's lips, and he sighed. He really didn't know what to say about having such a son.

Seeing them chatting and laughing, the villagers surrounding the gate looked at each other, wondering why they were still laughing when they were just treating a disease.
"According to the etiology and pathogenesis of Xiao Miezi, the principle of treating convulsions is to support the soil and suppress the trees."

Wang Chengzhou returned to the topic and finally took out the acupuncture needles prepared in the morning. "Besides medicine, the most effective method is acupuncture."

"But children are not fully developed yet, so acupuncture is generally prohibited. That's why I made these thumbtack-like gadgets."

"Xiao Mianzi, please take one and play with it carefully. These things will be stuck on your body later. Moreover, they can only be taken off and rotated every three days. You should understand it clearly in advance to avoid taking it off at will out of curiosity in the future."

Xiao Maozi nodded obediently, took one, tilted his head and said, "Uncle, I'll remember it. If you hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have been able to bear it."

Pressing needles are derived from intradermal needles.

Intradermal acupuncture achieves the effect of treating diseases by regulating the body's Wei Qi.

"Lingshu·Essential Zang" says: The Wei Qi warms the flesh, fills the skin, fattens the body, and opens and closes it... When the Wei Qi is harmonious, it divides the meat and removes sharpness, softens the skin, and makes the body dense.

it means:
Wei Qi is a type of Yang Qi.Born in water and grain, originating from the spleen and stomach, coming from the upper burner, traveling outside the pulse, it is strong in nature, moves quickly and fluently, and has the functions of warming and nourishing the inside and outside, protecting the surface of the skin, resisting external evils, nourishing the interstitium, opening and closing sweat pores, etc. .

"Lingshu Benshu" says: Examine the Wei Qi, which is the mother of all diseases, adjust its deficiency and excess, and the deficiency and excess will be stopped.

it means:
Regulating Wei Qi can protect the skin surface, defend against external evils, regulate internal and external conditions, and achieve the effect of curing diseases.

The reason for keeping the needle in the body is also documented in the book.

"Suwen·Lihe Zhenxie Lun" once said: Inhalation will cause internal acupuncture, and the Qi will not be disobedient, and it will stay calm for a long time.

it means:
The purpose of retaining the needle is to warm or regulate the qi, so as to achieve the effect of harmonizing qi and blood, and balancing yin and yang.

Wang Chengzhou laughed. Faced with such a cute child, his interest was much higher. He took his little hand and gestured on it: "Xiao Baozi, since you are so smart, how about I teach you a song?" ?”

"what?"

The little guy blinked his big eyes and asked curiously.

"The five internal organs and eight trigrams are determined, the location lines determine the condition, the Sunda position divides the liver and gallbladder into upper and lower parts, the distal position is the five senses, heart, brain and lungs, the Kun position is fertility, the Dui position is the respiratory mammary gland and intestines, the stem position is psychological and endocrine, the Kan position is the reproductive and urinary system, and the Gen position The spleen, stomach, heart, large intestine, nerves and duodenum are located, and the upper heart and lower stomach are the Mingtang.”

Wang Chengzhou memorized a large volume in one breath and asked with a smile: "Are you confident in remembering it?"

　Phew, [-] updates per day, I did it!
