"Your massage is indeed the best I have ever experienced." After Li Jiagan gave Boss Shen a massage, Boss Shen got out of bed and said with a smile, "I was fortunate enough to have Professor Zhou Jinyang from the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine also give me a massage.

But I feel that you are better at massaging than him."

"You're flattered." Li Jiagan said with a smile, "Professor Zhou Jinyang is my bone-setting master. He mainly does bone-setting, and massage is just his side job."

"Are you Zhou Jinyang's apprentice? Do you know how to set bones? Oh yes, Chengchang told me that you corrected his lumbar disc herniation and it was done very well." Boss Shen said with a smile.

"Well, I can only say that Professor Zhou taught well." Li Jiagen smiled, then turned to Gao Chengchang, "What else does President Gao have to do?"

"Actually, today I mainly want you to give my father a massage. Isn't Dr. Li busy?" Boss Shen said again.

"Okay, it's okay." Li Jiagen nodded.

Although he was somewhat surprised, he had to entertain Gao Chengchang's distinguished guest today and satisfy Gao Chengchang.

Boss Shen's father is in the next suite, and a woman in her forties is accompanying him. She is Boss Shen's wife.

Boss Shen's father is over seventy years old. What surprised Li Jiagen was that Mr. Shen looked sick and was in a very bad mental state.

"My father has been ill for more than half a month. He has tried both Chinese and Western medicine, but the results are not good. I heard from Chengchang that Dr. Li's massage... Oh, and acupuncture is very powerful, so I want to give it a try." Boss Shen

road.

Li Jiagen became a little interested after hearing this. He took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box and placed it on the coffee table. He said to Boss Shen's father: "Old man, can I diagnose your pulse?"

The old man put his hand on the pulse pillow, and Li Jiagan quietly examined him for several minutes with his eyes closed, counting the strings with his left hand and sliding the cun with his right hand.

The main disease of the stringy pulse is mostly in the liver and gallbladder, and can also be caused by phlegm and fluid retention or pain, as well as the decline of stomach qi in the elderly. The slippery pulse can be caused by phlegm and fluid retention, food stagnation, and excess heat (it can also affect pregnancy in women), and the rapid pulse can be caused by heat syndrome.

Li Jiagan asked Mr. Shen to stick out his tongue and take a look. The tongue was red and uncoated, indicating heat syndrome.

After asking Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen was a little deaf. Boss Shen's wife added some information. He was mainly deaf, had a bitter taste in the mouth, and had fever all over the body. He was particularly hot at night, had chest tightness, sometimes talked nonsense, frequently vomited sticky foam, and had yellow and red urine.

I have loose stools and feel a cold air in my chest. I like to drink hot water.

Li Jiagen frowned after hearing this. His pulse showed heat syndrome, and most of the consultations also showed symptoms of heat syndrome. Why did he have loose stools, a feeling of cold air in his chest, and his fondness for drinking hot water, which sounded like cold syndrome?

Is this a heat syndrome or a cold syndrome?

He decided to give Mr. Shen a physical examination.

His physical examination was no surprise to anyone who knew him, but Boss Shen and his wife found it very strange. What the hell was this touching all over the body with their eyes closed?

After Li Jiagan's physical examination, he opened his eyes and finally understood what was going on.

"What medicine have you taken before?" he asked.

Boss Shen's wife took out a few prescriptions from her small bag. Li Jiagen looked at them and saw that most of them were for warming and shedding, and there were also medicines for nourishing yin and cooling blood. None of the prescriptions hit Mr. Shen's symptoms.

He immediately wrote a prescription and handed it to Boss Shen's wife and said: "The old man should be cured soon after taking this medicine."

Boss Shen's wife read the prescription without saying a word, and handed it to Boss Shen. Boss Shen looked at it and pondered for a while and said, "Is this Baihu Decoction with some medicine for replenishing qi and promoting fluid production?"

Li Jiagen was a little surprised after hearing this. Boss Shen actually knew something about traditional Chinese medicine? He said: "Yes, the old man is suffering from heat trapping in the lungs and not transmitting the meridians, so he needs to use Baihu Decoction to clear the lungs and lower the lung qi.

In addition, the old man has excessive heat syndrome, which strengthens fire and irritates qi, and excess heat damages body fluids, so he needs to clear away heat and replenish qi and promote body fluids at the same time."

Boss Shen was silent after hearing this. His wife was also a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the past, so he also learned a lot about traditional Chinese medicine under the influence of his ears and eyes.

This Baihu Tang comes from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and Qinglong Tang, Zhenwu Tang (also called Xuanwu Tang) has always been famous in the world.

The only three prescriptions that lack Zhuque Decoction are somewhat particular ("Treatise on Febrile Diseases" only lacks Zhuque Decoction, which has become a major unsolved case in the history of traditional Chinese medicine). They are connected with ancient Chinese astrology, and are fully

It embodies the ancient thought of "harmony between man and nature".

In ancient China, the North Star was the center and surrounded by the "Four Symbols". The eastern stars looked like a blue dragon, the western stars looked like a white tiger, the northern stars looked like a tortoise and a snake, and the southern stars looked like a big bird.

.

This is the origin of the "Four Great Divine Beasts": Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu (Godly Turtle), and Suzaku.

As the earth rotates and revolves, these four celestial phenomena also change with the seasons. Every evening at the turn of winter and spring, the green dragon appears; at the turn of spring and summer, the red bird rises; at the turn of summer and autumn, the white tiger appears; at the turn of autumn and winter,

Xuanwu rises.

Because of this, the four mythical beasts have been given different meanings.

The green dragon represents the east, and the five elements belong to wood. Its color is green, which is spring, and its nature is warm, and its qi is mainly rising; the white tiger represents the west, and the five elements belong to gold. Its color is white, which is autumn, and its nature is cool, and its qi is mainly descending; Xuanwu represents

In the north, the five elements belong to water, and its color is black, which means winter. It is cold in nature, and its qi is cold. Suzaku represents the south, and the five elements belong to fire. Its color is red, which means summer, and its nature is hot, and its qi is hot and dissipates.

So this is the only three missing prescriptions of Zhuque Decoction, Qinglong Decoction, White Tiger Decoction, and Zhenwu Decoction (Xuanwu Decoction). Their medicinal effects also correspond to the astrology. For example, the Baihu Decoction is mainly used to clear and lower lung qi, which is exactly the same as Baihu Decoction.

"It is autumn, the nature is cool, and the Qi mainly descends." It means.

At the same time, this white tiger soup also has the effect of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production.

The royal medicine of Baihu Decoction is gypsum, which has a pungent and sweet taste and a strong cold nature. It is best at clearing away heat. The minister drug is Anemarrhena, which is bitter in taste and cold in nature. It is moist in nature. The cold can help gypsum clear away heat, and the moisturizing can help gypsum produce fluid.

The cold air from these two herbs starts to clear down from the upper burner of the lungs, until it reaches the middle burner of the stomach, just like the cool breeze falling from the sky, sweeping away the hot air!

However, excessive cold can also damage the spleen and stomach, so this Baihu Decoction is also combined with japonica rice and Zhigancao to harmonize and nourish the stomach.

A major function of Zhigancao is to reconcile medicinal properties. Japonica rice is a substance that grows in water. It has the effects of resisting water and diuresis. It can not only moisturize dryness and nourish yin, but also diuretic and facilitate defecation. It can also help to reduce the cold and cold gas in the upper Jiao.

.

Therefore, this Baihu Decoction is designed to clear away heat and promote fluid production. The entire prescription is very strict and clever, and is very famous.

However, what makes Boss Shen and his wife feel doubtful now is that only cold medicine can be used to treat heat syndrome. Is his father's disease a syndrome of excess heat?

"Um... Doctor Li, my dad always feels a lump of cold air in his chest. He also likes to drink hot water and has loose stools. Is this syndrome of excessive heat?" Boss Shen and his wife looked at each other and then asked Li Jiagan.

Li Jiagen shook his head after hearing this and said: "The old man's heat evil is in the lung meridian, and it is undoubtedly a syndrome of excess heat. The cold air in his chest is just because his lungs are not clearing the air, the body fluid is stagnant, the phlegm is stagnant and the air is blocked, and the air movement is not popular in these places.

, spinning around from the side, so I felt cold air in my chest. Well, the old man should get rid of this disease as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to bear it when he gets older."

"Then how can the old man's deafness be cured?" Gao Chengchang carefully interjected beside him.
