Chapter 10 Lin Xiao learns medicine
When Doctor Wang heard Lin Xiao's question, he smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and
said slowly: "The effect of whale glue was actually told to me by my teacher. He said that if you eat too much of ordinary aphrodisiacs, your body will become weaker and weaker.
But whale glue is different. Long-term use of whale glue will not only not harm your body, but will slightly improve your body.
Because of this, whale glue is sought after by nobles. The older the whale glue, the better the effect, and the more expensive it is. "
After listening, Lin Xiao nodded secretly in his heart: "It seems that the true effect of whale glue has not been fully discovered, but only a little clue has been detected."
He then asked: "Doctor Wang, you are so proficient in medicine, may I ask you a few more questions?"
Doctor Wang smiled and nodded: "Soul Master, please feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and decided to ask Doctor Wang a few questions from the perspective of traditional medicine in his previous life.
He asked respectfully, "Doctor Wang, I heard that traditional doctors pay attention to the 'balance of yin and yang'. I wonder how to judge whether a person has yin deficiency or yang deficiency when regulating the body? And how to prescribe the right medicine?" When
Doctor Wang heard this question, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He stroked his beard and said slowly, "Master Soul Master is indeed knowledgeable. Yin deficiency and yang deficiency are indeed the key to regulating the body with traditional medicine.
People with yin deficiency often show symptoms such as dry mouth, hot flashes in the five hearts, night sweats, and red tongue with little coating; while people with yang deficiency often show symptoms such as fear of cold limbs, pale complexion, lack of energy, pale tongue with white coating."
He paused and continued, "When prescribing the right medicine, people with yin deficiency should use drugs that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as 'Ophiopogon japonicus', 'Asparagus cochinchinensis', 'Lily', etc.; people with yang deficiency should use drugs that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as 'Ophiopogon japonicus', 'Asparagus cochinchinensis', 'Lily', etc.
For those with yin deficiency, it is advisable to use drugs that warm the yang and replenish qi, such as "ginseng", "astragalus", "cinnamon", etc. However, attention should be paid to the dosage and combination when using the drugs, as too much is as bad as too little. "
Lin Xiao nodded, and then asked: "If a person has symptoms of both yin deficiency and yang deficiency at the same time, how should it be treated?"
Doctor Wang smiled slightly and replied: "This situation is called "yin and yang deficiency" in traditional medicine, and it is more complicated to regulate.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to first use mild drugs to reconcile yin and yang, such as "wolfberry", "yam", "poria", etc. After the body condition stabilizes, then gradually add drugs that nourish yin or warm yang according to the specific situation. Remember not to rush for success, otherwise it is easy to backfire."
Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and he admired Doctor Wang's medical skills even more.
He then asked, "Doctor Wang, I've heard that traditional medicine has the theory of 'the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements'. I wonder how to apply this theory when regulating the body?"
Doctor Wang stroked his beard and slowly explained, "The mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements is one of the core theories of traditional medicine.
The five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, which correspond to the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of the human body respectively.
Mutual generation, such as wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood;
mutual restraint, such as wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, and metal restrains water. "
When regulating the body, it is necessary to choose appropriate medicines and therapies according to the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements.
For example, the liver belongs to wood. If the liver qi is stagnant, you can use drugs such as "Bupleurum" and "Curcuma" to relieve the liver and regulate qi;
if the liver fire is strong, you can use drugs such as "Gentiancao" and "Scutellaria" to clear the liver and purge fire. At the same time, you must pay attention to the balance between the five elements to avoid blindly attacking and causing damage to other organs. "
After listening to Doctor Wang's narration, Lin Xiao admired the profoundness of traditional medicine even more.
Then he stood up solemnly, bowed deeply to Doctor Wang, and said in a firm tone: "Doctor Wang, I admire your medical skills. I want to learn traditional medicine from you, please accept me as your apprentice!"
After hearing this, Doctor Wang was stunned at first, and then a complicated look appeared on his face.
He stroked his beard and said slowly: "Soul Master, do you know that there are healing soul masters on the Douluo Continent? Their treatment effects are faster and more direct, and they can even cure some diseases that traditional medicine cannot solve.
Because of this, traditional doctors have a very low status on the continent, and only civilians who cannot afford the high fees of healing soul masters will choose traditional medicine to treat their illnesses.
As a soul master with a bright future, why do you want to learn traditional medicine?"
Lin Xiao looked calm and looked at Doctor Wang with a firm gaze, and replied: "Doctor Wang, I understand what you said.
But in my opinion, traditional medicine and healing soul masters do not conflict with each other, but can complement each other.
Healing... Although soul masters are powerful, their treatments often rely on soul skills. They know what they are doing but not why.
Traditional medicine is different. It focuses on regulating the body, balancing yin and yang, and solving problems fundamentally.
He paused and continued, "Moreover, the wisdom of traditional medicine is profound. It is not only a means of curing diseases and saving lives, but also a deep understanding of life and nature.
The latest novel is first published on !
I believe that learning traditional medicine will not only allow me to better regulate my body, but also help more people, especially those civilians who cannot afford the cost of treating soul masters."
After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Doctor Wang's eyes flashed with shock and relief. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Soul Master, I admire your ideas.
Over the years, you are the first person who is willing to put aside your identity as a soul master to learn traditional medicine. However, learning traditional medicine is not a matter of overnight, and it requires great patience and perseverance. Are you sure you want to take this path?"
Lin Xiao nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure. No matter how difficult this road is, I will stick to it."
Doctor Wang looked at Lin Xiao's determined eyes and finally showed a gratified smile: "Okay, since Soul Master is so determined, I will accept you as my apprentice! From today on, you are my disciple of Baicaotang."
Lin Xiao was excited when he heard this, and quickly bowed deeply to Doctor Wang again: "Disciple Lin Xiao, hello to Master!"
Doctor Wang smiled and helped Lin Xiao up, with some emotion in his tone: "Okay, okay! I have been practicing medicine all my life, and I have no regrets to have a disciple like you. "
Xiao Wu, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in surprise: "Lin Xiao, do you really want to learn medicine? Don't you want to practice to become stronger? Why do you suddenly want to be a doctor?"
Lin Xiao glanced at her and said calmly: "Practice and learning medicine are not in conflict.
Xiao Wu curled her lips, obviously didn't understand Lin Xiao's answer, but didn't say anything more.
Doctor Wang patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lin Xiao, although you are learning medicine from me, you can't fall behind in soul master practice. Come to me after practice!
Lin Xiao nodded, and said firmly: "Master, don't worry, I will do my best."
This chapter wants to simply promote the culture of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, in the original work... the immortal herbs in the two worlds can communicate with each other, so it is understandable that the medical skills can communicate with each other. Learning medicine also paves the way for creating your own skills in the future
