Chapter 1788 The Magical Use of Acupoints
"I knew this guy was a charlatan!" Xia Lianfeng instinctively rejected traditional Chinese medicine. "Last time the man named Liu came over, and the old man was pulled for several days in a row, and he was disfigured. I was afraid that this kid would torture the old man to death."
"What are you talking nonsense?" Xia Lianjing said this, but she muttered in her heart, thinking that it wouldn't be that bad, right?
"I suggest waiting for a moment." He Chong glanced at Xia Lianfeng. According to Su Tao's analysis, if you hadn't stopped you last time, Mr. Xia wouldn't have fallen into the current predicament. "This is a prescription, and now someone has to arrange for the medicine."
Xia Lianfeng snatched the prescription from He Chong, "Let me see if there is any croton!"
Xia Lianfeng knew very little about the effects of medicinal materials, only knowing that croton can cause diarrhea. Su Tao did not write about croton, but instead used other medicinal materials to replace it, so he naturally couldn't recognize it.
"Give it to you!" Xia Lianfeng stuffed the prescription into He Chong's hand.
He Chong waved to a doctor in the team and asked him to hurry to the nearest Chinese medicine store to catch the medicine according to the prescription.
Although it was already winter and the temperature outside was as low as below zero, the temperature inside the house reached 27 or 8 degrees. Although Mr. Xia was in poor health, he always paid attention to Su Tao, thinking in his heart why his old enemy, the old fox, looked at him with great admiration.
In fact, he soon came up with the answer. Su Tao's concentration in acupuncture has explained the reason.
"I must apologize to you. I have doubted your level before." Old Xia said softly.
Su Tao smiled and said, "I can understand, don't take it to heart."
"If I had insisted on taking the prescription provided by Dr. Liu, wouldn't the condition be so bad?" Mr. Xia sighed softly. He was never a person looking back, but now he couldn't help but regret it.
"Maybe your lung abscess will be cured, but it does not mean that there will be no problems in other places." Su Tao said patiently.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Mr. Xia asked strangely.
"You and Mr. Shui are both the same type of people. They like to worry and work hard. When they were young, they couldn't tell because of their good physical fitness. However, after they got older, they still worked hard as usual, which would inevitably affect their physical condition." Su Tao said.
"Something makes sense!" Mr. Xia sighed and said to himself: "After seeing this, Water Fox and I have something in common. I heard that he adopted your suggestion and started reading Buddhist scriptures last year?"
"That's right! When your energy is restored, I suggest you read the Buddhist scriptures too." Su Tao slowly stabbed two silver needles into Mr. Xia's Gaohuang acupoint.
There is an idiom called terminal illness, which means that once the disease reaches a place where medicine is difficult to reach, it will never be cured.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is indeed acupuncture point called the Gaohuang point. There are two symmetrical left and right, located on the back of the human body and the inner side of the shoulder blades. If you press it, you will feel aching.
Pressing this point with fingers can treat stiffness and soreness of shoulder muscles.
Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine of the Tang Dynasty, once said in "Qianjin Prescription": Dead and all diseases are cured!
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all diseases of the human body are related to the savage. Therefore, there is also a saying in traditional Chinese medicine classics that "exercise the savage acupoints to eliminate all diseases."
There is a chest expansion exercise in radio gymnastics. On the surface, it is to exercise the muscles of the chest, but in fact it can also exercise the function of the Gaohuang point.
When you slowly lift your arms to the chest and shoulders level, pull back to the limit with force, so that your shoulder blades can be as close to your spine as possible, and you can squeeze to the Gaohuang point on both sides.
Now that Mr. Xia's body's qi, blood, yin and yang have been damaged, it is most suitable to use the Gaohuang point to moxibustion to treat it, which can help support yang and strengthen wei, assist yin and maintain qi and blood throughout the body, thereby restoring the body's strength.
When Su Tao acupuncture pierced into Mr. Xia's Gaohuang point, Mr. Xia suddenly felt a soft force slowly rising from his body. The vitality that had gradually disappeared slowly gathered, just like the dry earth had more water flow, and the frozen plain waiting for the warm sunshine.
Mr. Xia trusts Su Tao's medical skills more and more, and is definitely not seeking fame.
But Mr. Xia did not have much hope that he could recover.
He thought in his heart that it would be great if Su Tao could let himself live a few more days, look at the world quietly, be well prepared, and then go to another world with a calm attitude.
Mr. Xia knows his body very well. His lungs have been transplanted twice. The success rate of lung transplant surgery is lower than that of organ transplants such as liver, kidneys, hearts, etc. Every time it is a life spanned from God. I am afraid I won’t be so lucky this time.
"I will give you a lot of needles below. Don't be nervous. Close your eyes and you won't feel any pain." Su Tao took out the appropriate inch needle from the needle belt, "It will take about an hour."
Mr. Xia closed his eyes. He actually didn't dare to do this casually because he was worried that once he closed his eyes, he would never wake up.
There is another situation where sleeping is a luxury. Whenever you enter the state, your body will feel pain. The bone-burning feeling will wake him up from your dream.
Su Tao's words made him feel relaxed and he could have a good sleep without restraint.
Mr. Xia was so thin that he was skinny that he was left with bones, which made it quite difficult to acupuncture. Su Tao focused on each needle, paid attention to the changes in Mr. Xia's veins, and made adjustments at any time.
Mr. Xia felt that he was surrounded by warm currents. No matter how much medicine he took, he could not bring this comfortable feeling to himself.
The medication was either burning his stomach, causing him to numbness, or causing him to feel weak.
Mr. Xia could clearly feel pain, but this clear feeling made him feel at ease because he had a neurasthenia for a while, so he could not even perceive the pain.
Acupuncture stimulated his meridians, mobilized the breath in his body to stabilize, and re-bound the soul floating in the air to this extremely fragile but extremely real body.
When Su Tao finished the last needle, Mr. Xia fell asleep peacefully.
The room was very hot, and with the consumption caused by acupuncture, Su Tao's clothes were soaked with sweat.
Su Tao was still very happy because he could clearly smell the decayed smell in Xia Lao's breathing faded and even disappeared.
Su Tao walked to the window, opened the window, and a cool air poured into the house, and the originally turbid smell was completely renewed.
People standing outside waiting for the results found that Su Tao opened the window and stood up one after another.
He Chong stopped Xia Lianjing who was about to rush into the house, "Wait until I go in and confirm it first!"
He Chong pushed open the door and saw Mr. Xia lying quietly on the bed. Su Tao sat on the chair and slowly pulled out the silver needle.
"Old Xia, this is it?" He Chong asked.
"He fell asleep." Su Tao said.
He actually fell asleep?
He Chong was very surprised because Mr. Xia did not take the pain-relieving medicine and could not fall asleep normally.
"Have the decoction been prepared?" Su Tao asked back.
"Not yet..." He Chong was a little embarrassed. "Although there are no expensive medicinal materials in the prescription, it requires going to a Chinese medicine store to prepare it, so it takes a certain amount of time."
Su Tao continued to pull the needle, "Brother Xia will sleep for about an hour. When he wakes up, he will have to feed him medicine. At that time, he will have severe reactions, such as vomiting and diarrhea. Please don't worry, this is to eliminate the evil poison in his body."
He Chong hurriedly said, "Okay!"
Although there was no professional equipment to detect Mr. Xia's physical condition, it can be seen from his complexion that he has improved significantly.
Su Tao had re-diagnosed Mr. Xia’s pulse before he pulled the needle. The signs of leaking the pulse no longer existed. Mr. Xia’s pulse is now stable and powerful.
Mr. Xia’s condition is indeed very serious. If Western medicine continues to be treated, it is equivalent to entering a dead end.
Because Mr. Xia's body could no longer undergo the third lung transplant. Although he relied on antibiotics or other advanced drugs to slow down the lungs' health, Mr. Xia's body already had strong resistance to drugs and the effect was less and less.
On the contrary, under this situation, only traditional Chinese medicine has the opportunity to bring a turning point to Mr. Xia.
It is not that traditional Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine, but that traditional Chinese medicine has more advantages than Western medicine in treating this disease.
The Western medicine method is to perform drug treatment first. If there is no way, then it is a one-size-fits-all approach. For organs, if they are just cut, people will not be able to survive, so transplant surgery was invented. It must be admitted that transplant surgery is a great innovation, but it also has its limitations.
Even if the technology is mature, the number of transplant surgeries is limited. If the root cause is not found and the source of the disease is not completely solved, sooner or later, you will face the dilemma of helplessness.
He Chong and Su Tao pulled out the silver needles from Mr. Xia's body and quickly put on a detection instrument on Mr. Xia. Although he knew that Mr. Xia's condition did not continue to deteriorate, he still believed in the results obtained by the scientific analysis of the instrument.
This is how Western medicine is. Although He Chong is experienced, he will always trust cold machines more.
After almost half an hour, He Chong got the preliminary results. His expression was a little excited because most of Mr. Xia's physical indicators had returned to normal levels. Even if some indicators were still a little lacking, they were already within a controllable range.
"The medicine should be boiled, I'll arrange for someone to deliver the medicine." He Chong walked out of the ward with brisk steps.
When He Chong returned to the room, Old Xia happened to open his eyes slowly, his eyes much more vivid than before.
Su Tao took the medicine bowl from He Chong and said, "After drinking this bowl of medicine, you will feel strong discomfort, such as vomiting and diarrhea. Please don't worry, this is a normal reaction, helping you remove the evil poison in your body."
Mr. Xia found that because Su Tao gave him acupuncture, he was now able to sit up by himself. "Okay, give it to me quickly!"
"It's a little hot, it's a little cold before you can drink it." Su Tao said with a smile.
After three minutes, the medicine soup was slightly cool. Mr. Xia, with the help of Su Tao, drank all the medicine.
A moment later, a look of pain appeared on his face, "My stomach hurts so much!"
Su Tao quickly helped Mr. Xia up from the bed, and the two entered the bathroom. Not long after, a rumbling sound came from the sound.
He Chong saw Su Tao calm from beginning to end, without showing any embarrassment or disgust.
