There are only dozens of households in Wu Yugang's village. Although it is a large village, there are very few patients.
The old Chinese medicine doctor's family is very leisurely. Wu Yugang spends his time here studying medical books every day, except helping his master clean the courtyard.
From the "Nei Jing" to the "Difficult Classic", from "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" to "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Qian Jin Yao Prescriptions" and "Compendium of Materia Medica".
In addition, Wu Yugang is also studying various medical cases of various companies.
When a patient comes, Wu Yugang will study attentively. Sometimes the old Chinese medicine doctor will also explain to Wu Yugang carefully the problems that he does not understand. Life was going smoothly.
One day, Wu Yugang asked the old Chinese medicine doctor: "Traditional Chinese medicine is said to be very mysterious. Why is it difficult to learn it? Why do you want me to read so many medical classics?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "Traditional Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine with a long history. First, I will let you understand and grasp the relationship between the human body and the internal organs and meridians as a whole, and then you can conduct further detailed research. In ancient times, the Chinese people relied on traditional Chinese medicine to The difficulty in getting started with traditional Chinese medicine is to identify the disease. You must first know the cause and etiology of the patient, and then you can proceed to adopt corresponding treatment methods.”
Wu Yugang asked: "Then how to diagnose the disease?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "TCM pays attention to looking, smelling, asking, and feeling. This is the first step, and then the pulse. You need to understand the relationship between the pulse and the internal organs of the human body. Once you have the pulse, you can then diagnose the cause of the disease based on the judgment of looking, smelling, asking, and feeling. Only then can you prescribe the right medicine."
Wu Yugang asked: "How can we see, smell, ask, feel, and diagnose the pulse well?"
The old Chinese doctor said: "Human facial features correspond to the internal organs."
Wu Yugang said: "This is understandable. The spleen and stomach open to the mouth, the lungs to the nose, the heart to the tongue, the kidneys to the ears, and the liver to the eyes. What's the use of this?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "The five sense organs correspond to the five internal organs of a person. If there is a problem in any part, it will be manifested in the corresponding part. In addition, the expression of the corresponding parts of the face according to the five sense organs is also the source of judging the condition.
For example, if the nose is red, it may be due to lung heat or strong internal fire. If the nose bleeds or is dry, it may be due to insufficient Yin Qi or excessive Yang Qi. In addition, the sides of the nose correspond to the human small intestine, and its color changes can reflect the condition of the spleen and stomach. This is hope.
Then there is smelling and questioning, which is to understand the cause of the patient's disease and physical condition, and then palpation, which is to check the pulse to confirm the condition, and then prescribe the right medicine. "
"But how to treat patients?" Wu Yugang asked curiously.
The old Chinese doctor said: "Treatment is also a complex issue. You must know the relationship between the five internal organs, the five elements, and yin and yang. The human body is complex. However, when the yin and yang of the human body are balanced, you will not get sick. Acupuncture and medication are all used to treat corresponding illnesses. Measures. Acupuncture is to stimulate the acupuncture points of the human body to generate resistance, and then adjust the balance of yin and yang with the corresponding drugs.”
Wu Yugang asked: "How to adjust the balance?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "The human body is a whole. If there is a problem in one part, there will be problems in other parts. Chinese medicine talks about treating diseases that are not yet sick. And self-protection and health care. Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly to treat patients who have lost the balance of yin and yang. The body regulates the yin and yang of each organ.”
"But how to use the medicine?" Wu Yugang asked.
The old Chinese medicine doctor said meaningfully: "Chinese medicine is a weapon for treating diseases. You must first understand the medicinal properties and functions of each Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine travels through the meridians of the human body, so you must remember it carefully. Each medicinal material travels through the meridians of the human body differently. . So different drugs have different effects.”
Wu Yugang asked: "How to cure the disease?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "The use of Chinese medicine is about the monarch, the minister, and the assistant, which is the method of prescribing a medicine. The main medicine is the monarch, and the dosage of the medicine is the heaviest. The assistant medicine is called the minister's medicine, with more flavors and lighter dosage. The minister should do it. When using medicine, the dosage should be the smallest. Only by keeping the monarch and his ministers in an orderly manner and communicating with each other can the effect of controlling evil and eliminating diseases be achieved."
"Then why are some so-called miracle doctors able to cure many diseases with just one medicine in their lifetime?" Wu Yugang asked eagerly.
The old Chinese doctor smiled and said: "Actually, this is not a mystery. The five internal organs of the human body are the commanders of the human organs. To maintain the balance of yin and yang in the human body, the five internal organs must have a balanced yin and yang. And many common human diseases are caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the five internal organs. , and there are many ways to treat diseases.
The so-called in-depth treatment of symptoms means to find the best way to treat diseases, and those miracle doctors understand the relationship between various organs and the human body, so the same prescription, using different weights of treatment drugs, will have different effects and can cure the disease. Get rid of the disease.
The overall point is to skillfully understand and master the relationship between the functions of each organ and the human body as a whole.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine is divided into andrology, gynecology, and pediatrics. "
"I seem to have entered a mysterious and magical realm!" Wu Yugang said.
The old Chinese medicine doctor said thoughtfully on the side: "To learn Chinese medicine well, you have to study carefully, do in-depth research and practice continuously, and then you can become a famous doctor." Wu Yugang silently remembered the master's words.
The old Chinese medicine doctor pulled Wu Yugang into the yard and said: "Traditional Chinese medicine not only treats people and diseases, but also protects oneself and exercises to maintain one's body from getting sick."
Wu Yugang asked: "What should we do?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "Traditional Chinese medicine has its own way of training and maintenance. It is said that in ancient times, when doctors treated others, many of them did not know how to take care of themselves and would get sick along with the patients, and they did not have their own protection methods. Later, it was passed down to the Three Kingdoms era. Hua Tuo created a set of "Five Animals Play" based on the records in "Zhuangzi" as a way to exercise. The five animals are tigers, birds, bears, apes and deers.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the surface of blood. If qi and blood flow smoothly, people will not get sick.
What people pay attention to is essence, energy, and spirit. In Chinese medicine, what is said is that essence transforms into qi, qi transforms into spirit, and spirit transforms into deficiency. This means that when the human body’s essence, energy, and spirit are sufficient, it can then use acquired emptiness energy to make up for its own innate qi and blood deficiency. In this way, In the realm of unity between man and nature, we can achieve the purpose of resisting external evils and achieving health and longevity.
Legend has it that Hua Tuo lived to be over a hundred years old because he always performed this set of "Five Animal Opera". This practice method is both internal and external. Only when a person's Qi and blood are full can the spine be strong, and only when it is strong can it resist the invasion of external evils. So it's very scientific. "
Wu Yugang asked: "Is this move difficult?"
The old Chinese doctor said: "It's not very difficult, but this set of exercises is divided into two types. One is based on the person's own conditions, starting from the basic movements and breathing. There are five animal body movements and breathing methods. , practice until you feel a little tired and sweaty, and it is appropriate for your body to bear it.”
Wu Yugang asked: "What about the other kind?" (To be continued)
