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

Chapter 351: Ginseng kills people

The two girls opened their mouths but were blinded by the kerosene lamp. Wang Chengzhou really didn't bother to pay attention to them, but let go of Jian Mo's wrist without saying a word, and opened her eyes to take a look.

everything is normal.

The pulse is slightly floating and rapid, which is normal.

Spring veins are stringy, summer veins are hooked, autumn veins are hairy, and winter veins are stone.

Those with hairy veins in autumn are gold in the west of the lungs. They are the end of all things. Plants, flowers and leaves all fall in autumn. Although their branches are still there, they are like hairs. When the veins come, they are light and weak, so they are called hairs.

If you really want to be serious, then maybe this girl is a little angry.

Her eyes were clear in black and white, with bright pupils. They looked very pure, without anything unusual.

This is weird...

Wang Chengzhou scratched his head. Everything happens for a reason. It is impossible for a person to become blind for no reason.

Seeing his silence, the young and old men all became nervous.He thought that this girl really had some serious and strange disease, and even the little miracle doctor Wang Chengzhou was helpless.

"Wang...Wang Xiucai, you...why don't you speak?"

Jian Mo couldn't feel him, so she panicked all of a sudden, grinning and preparing to cry, "Can my eyes still be cured? Tell me quickly!"

As he spoke, the crystal tears really fell down his delicate face, and he was obviously on the verge of collapse again.

When she cried, Jian Li also cried.

However, after crying twice, the girl seemed to suddenly think of something and said hurriedly:

"By the way, Wang Xiucai, there is something we have never dared to tell you."

"You didn't sell us the 'Smart Soup' last time. My sister was angry with you, so she asked someone to buy a lot of ginseng, and she stewed it in the soup for two days."

"I'm too timid to try. Do you think it's because of this?"

Hearing this, Jian Mo's little face immediately lost its composure. She was angry at her for not opening the pot and lifting it. In front of Wang Chengzhou, why did she bring up the matter of the two of them being angry with him again?
What if Wang Xiucai is really angry and doesn't treat her eyes?
Immediately, he said angrily:
"Jian Li, don't talk nonsense!"

"Ginseng is the 'King of Herbs'. It can greatly replenish vitality. It is also known as the 'Sacred Herb'. Whether in books or movies, it is regarded as a panacea. Why is it such a mess?"

"Wang Xiucai, do you think so?"

Hearing that these two girls actually had money to buy ginseng to eat, a bunch of people in the village were really envious.Whether it's in folklore or in movies and TV shows, ginseng is really famous. Anyone who has heard of it will regard it as a treasure.

A few greedy ones couldn't help but swallow hard, almost treating it as a delicacy.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Chengzhou heard what the sisters said, his eyes widened with shock, and he quickly asked: "Jian Mo, how much ginseng did you eat?"

"Didn't...didn't you eat much?"

Jian Mo felt his tone and began to stutter when speaking, but she pretended not to care and said:

"I didn't dare to really eat much. I couldn't help but feel greedy yesterday, so I bought a chicken from Aunt Gao. I was thinking of making ginseng chicken soup, so I stuffed two handfuls of the prepared chicken into my belly. Let's go in with ginseng... Jian Li is timid and said she couldn't stand the strange smell of ginseng chicken soup, so she stopped eating after a few bites and gave the rest to me."

"Wang...Wang Xiucai, the landlords and rich men played in other movies all use ginseng chicken soup and ginseng chicken soup. I want to try it too."

"I suddenly lost sight. Is it really related to eating ginseng?"

Samgyetang...

It's an old hen and a ginseng, and the folks are almost crying when they hear it. I didn't expect these two little girls to really enjoy themselves. What kind of life must they live?

Wang Chengzhou held his forehead and thought carefully. It was estimated that at least two taels of the two handfuls in her mouth had gone down... This damn girl really doesn't want to live long!

He couldn't help but pointed at her nose and cursed:

"Repay the landlord's wealth, Jian Mo, are you the stupid daughter of the landlord's family?"

"You are healthy and young, so why are you supplementing yourself when you have nothing to do? Ginseng is a tonic, but a tonic is also a medicine!"

"Ginseng has no fault in killing people, but rhubarb has no fault in saving people. That's what I'm talking about, a fool like you!"

Seeing that he was furious, as if this matter was really related to ginseng, Jian Mo and Jian Li shrank their necks in fear, lowered their heads and picked their fingers, and did not dare to say anything anymore.

What a naughty kid!

By now, Wang Chengzhou was very sure that Jian Mo's eye disease was the legendary blue blindness.

Blue blindness refers to an eye disease in which the eyes are black and the pupils have normal color and shape, but cannot see. It was first seen in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".

As for the causes of the disease, it is generally believed that there are two types, namely: loss of consciousness and gallbladder.

Losing the mind means being hurt by the seven emotions; being timid means being hurt by the essence and blood.

Injury to the seven emotions is an injury to God, which is particularly difficult to cure.The causes of damage to the essence and blood are further subdivided into many types, such as: insufficient kidney yang, deficiency of the spleen and kidneys, stagnation of liver qi, stasis of the eye collaterals...

"Lingshu Dahuo Lun" says: The essence of the five internal organs and six internal organs are all concentrated on the eyes and become the eyes.

"Criteria for the Treatment of Diseases·Miscellaneous Diseases" also says: Blue blindness is the source of the deep and profound darkness of Xuanfu, and it is not possible to have such bright ears.

To put it simply, the reason why human eyes can see clearly is because the essence of the internal organs is watered and nourished. Most of the twelve main meridians, eight extraordinary meridians and eight meridians of the human body go up to the head and disperse in and around the eyes.Therefore, whether there is a problem with the internal organs or a blockage of qi and blood, it may cause eye problems.

This is also the reason why people who are chronically ill always have dull eyes.

Ginseng is the first medicine to replenish qi. It has a miraculous effect on internal injuries due to fatigue. It can greatly replenish vitality and is an important medicine to save people from danger.Therefore, there is Dushen Decoction in the prescription, which is used to save one's life in critical moments.

In movies and TV shows, people always drink ginseng soup. This is where it comes from.

However, for people with sufficient Qi and strong Qi, drinking large doses of ginseng soup without any reason is like putting out firewood, which will definitely lead to trouble!

Excess Qi will turn into fire, and reverse Qi and fire will cause symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, high blood pressure, and even heart palpitations.

In fact, not only were there idiots like Jian Mo in ancient times, but modern people also got sick from eating ginseng indiscriminately. A new syndrome name was even invented because of this, called "ginseng abuse syndrome."

Because even a three-year-old child knows that ginseng is a very precious medicinal material, and some wild ginseng is even more expensive to buy. Even individuals regard it as a treasure.

Don’t you know that Chinese medicine pursues a balanced state of the human body, focusing on the balance of yin and yang. Excessive amounts in any aspect will cause problems.

Therefore, "Ginseng has no fault in killing people, but rhubarb has no fault in saving people" can be regarded as the world's helplessness for medicinal materials.

Ginseng is a tonic, rhubarb is a laxative, that’s it.

"Wang...Wang Xiucai, then...how are you going to treat me?"

Jian Mo waited for him to finish getting angry, pouted, and asked timidly, "Just tell me what medicinal materials you want to use. I have money. If it's not enough, I can also send a telegram to my home. No matter what method I use, please." Please help me."

At the same time, Jian Li looked over pitifully and nodded firmly, "That's it, Wang Xiucai. Just say it!"

When the old and young men heard this, they had to sigh at the profound backgrounds of these two little girls.Although the village cadres had warned before that Jian Mo and Jian Li had a complicated background, they were not allowed to provoke them on weekdays.When we met today, their identities became even more mysterious.

For such a person, most people would not be able to fawn over them on weekdays. Now that they are sick, this is an opportunity to perform well.

"Treat whatever you want!"

Wang Chengzhou stood up, with a speechless expression on his face, shook his sleeves and was about to leave, "Just eat some radish."

When the young and old men heard what he said, their eyes widened and they hurriedly came up to stop them. One by one, they seemed to be more anxious than him:
"Eat...eat carrots? Health nurse Wang, don't be joking!"

"Comrade Wang Chengzhou, are you mistaken? This girl can't see, and you let her eat carrots?"

"Brother Chengzhou, we adults don't remember the faults of villains. You are an old man, so don't be like two little girls. Besides, I have already apologized to you, so you should be more generous!"

Obviously, everyone thought he was holding a grudge and was just doing it half-heartedly.

Jian Mo even cried loudly, wiping the tears from her face and saying with tears in her eyes:

"Wang Chengzhou, why are you like this? Please help me."

"I've already said I'm sorry, what else do you want me to do?"

"From now on, Jian Li and I will never talk back to you, and we will just be your little followers, okay? You asked me to eat radishes, but how can radishes cure diseases?"

"Who said radish can't cure diseases?"

Wang Chengzhou suppressed his laughter and was really speechless towards these two ladies. He explained seriously:
"You ate too much ginseng, and the Qi was suddenly blocked in your chest, and the essence of the internal organs could not be directed to your eyes. That's why you became inexplicably blind without any symptoms."

"Since you know so much about ginseng, you should have heard that ginseng and radish cannot be eaten together. One of them can replenish qi and the other can ventilate. They have opposite effects. Eating them will have no effect at all. So, don't look down on white radish, and don't spend it randomly. Money, it’s your medicine right now.”

"Of course, if you don't think the white radish is delicious, you can replace it with big green pears. But it's past the frost now, so pears are not easy to buy."

Seeing that he was speaking in a convincing manner, the old and young men scratched their heads, feeling a little confused.Just thinking about his usual style, it seems that he really doesn’t use serious medicinal materials to treat people...

Could it be that this white radish can really cure Jian Mo's blue blindness?
"what?"

Jian Mo stared stupidly with her big eyes. Although she couldn't see anything... she still didn't believe it, "Wang Xiucai, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. As a doctor, how can I still lie to you?"

"Oh."

Jian Mo lowered her head in grievance, remembering that she always called him a bad guy, and why she felt so uneasy...

"Bullshit!"

At this moment, Wang Jianguo finally found a chance to speak. He sneered, stepped forward, leaned over and comforted:
"Jian Mo, white radish can cure diseases. It's a wonder in the world!"

"This man is petty, and he watched my father suffer just because he was resentful of our father and son. You sisters have had so many conflicts with him before, but he will treat you sincerely?"

"Don't be stupid! Let me take you to the county hospital quickly. There are many formal testing instruments there, and they will definitely work out a scientific treatment plan for you."

Listening to his words, the old and young men in Yanggao Village whispered for a while, and many people nodded in approval.

But Wang Chengzhou hugged his shoulders and looked like a clown.

Jian Mo hesitated instantly.

However, the two sisters are indeed quite clever.She pinched her fingers, looked up in the direction of Wang Chengzhou, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Wang Xiucai, if I listen to you and eat white radish, how many days will it take for me to recover?"

"Three days."

"Jian Mo, why do you still believe him? White radish is a vegetable that can be seen everywhere in our countryside. It won't cure your disease even if you eat it for three years, let alone three days!"

Wang Jianguo looked distressed and couldn't wait to interrupt.

"Three days are too long, I can't wait..."

Jian Mo ignored him and twisted the hem of her clothes tightly, her face full of pain, "Can you make it faster? Even if it has a small effect, I will believe you!"

"Acupuncture, sister, Wang Xiucai knows acupuncture!"

Jian Li's big eyes widened, and she jumped over with a look of surprise on her face, reminding her.

"Yes, Wang Xiucai, your acupuncture is very powerful. We have seen it with our own eyes. Why don't you treat me with acupuncture?"

Jian Mo's hope suddenly ignited, but suddenly she began to wonder if he was perfunctory with her.

Wang Chengzhou frowned.

Jian Mo's illness is indeed not a serious one. Her Qi is blocked and she suffers from blue blindness. It has been recorded in many medical books that eating white radish or big green pears is very effective.

These two, one vegetable and one fruit, may seem inconspicuous, but they can be used here to suit the symptoms and are more effective than some drugs.

Sun Simiao's "Qian Jin Yao Prescription" in the Tang Dynasty specifically listed the "Food Treatment Chapter", and Wang Mengying in the Qing Dynasty published "Suixiju Diet Manual", which all contain prescriptions that use food combined with treatment.

For special situations like Jian Mo, there is actually no need to go to great lengths.

Moreover, Wang Chengzhou glanced at her dewy skin and said with a cold face:

"Are you sure you want me to treat you with acupuncture?"

"Let me make it clear to you first. Your disease will definitely be cured by eating white radish. I, Wang Chengzhou, guarantee it with my character. The reason why I don't use acupuncture is because it is very painful to guide the qi. There is no need for you to suffer that pain in vain."

"Of course, if you are willing, there is nothing I can do."

"I'm not afraid of pain, I'm not afraid of pain!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Mo became excited, tears even filled her eyes, and she couldn't wait to say:
"Wang Xiucai, come on, I am willing to do it!"

"Compared to not being able to see anything, what's a little pain?"

"Don't say three days, as long as you have a way to cure me, I don't want to wait for a moment!"

Wang Chengzhou was helpless and could only point to the room and said: "Okay, go to the bed and lie down. We are going to give a lot of injections, so don't be afraid of pain."

"I... I know!"

Jian Mo was held by Jian Li, her voice was trembling with nervousness, but she came to the house step by step.

The door slammed shut.

The old and young men in Yanggao Village were immediately anxious. Why weren't they allowed to see it at the critical moment?
