Chinese medicine doctor Xu Yang

Chapter 32 Acupuncture

Xu Yang had learned acupuncture as a technique in college. He was very good in college and was among the best in all clinical subjects.

But no matter how outstanding you are, you are still a student. Fortunately, he went to Xiyuan Hospital for a year of training in 1978. During that year, he not only prescribed medicines, but also used acupuncture, so his clinical acupuncture skills were also improved.

Of course, he is not a great expert, but he can still treat ordinary diseases.

Xu Yang inserted a filiform needle into the philtrum of Ma Bo's roommate, and then used the twisting and purging method.

Xu Yang asked: "Do you feel soreness at the root of your nose?"

Ma Bo's roommates were all panicked: "Yes...one thing, you won't let me pierce it, right? What are you doing?"

Xu Yang said angrily: "How can I pierce you if I don't turn around?"

"Ah?" Marbo's roommate was dumbfounded.

"Don't move, be careful, I'll really pierce you." Xu Yang was a little funny, this living treasure really looked like his previous roommate.

Alas, I wonder how he is doing?

Xu Yang couldn't help but feel guilty. If he hadn't insisted on doing this that day, he wouldn't have been fired, and their family wouldn't have been implicated by him. After so long, I have been hiding in this small clinic and dare not contact him again!

Xu Yang collected his thoughts and asked Ma Bo's roommate: "Now, are you more sore and bloated?"

Ma Bo's roommate said: "Yes, I am even more sore and swollen, uncomfortable..."

His whole face wrinkled.

Xu Yang said: "Be patient for a while, you will become numb after a while."

Xu Yang continued to use the purgative method.

Everyone around was watching with enthusiasm.

After a while, Ma Bo's roommate said: "It's numb. It's over. I don't even have a nose anymore."

Xu Yang let go: "Stop playing tricks, keep the needle for thirty minutes. Now stand still and turn your waist. If it hurts, stop and turn in the opposite direction. Let's start."

Xu Yang looked at the time and after keeping the needle, he returned to his seat and said to several students: "If you have any questions, just ask them. Oh, you haven't finished recording yet?"

Chen Xia replied: "No, let's record for a while."

Chen Xia said to the two female classmates: "Xiao Bing, Ma Lu, didn't you two prepare questions? You can ask them now."

The two female classmates came up with red faces and said to Xu Yang a little embarrassedly: "Hello, Teacher Xu."

Xu Yang also nodded to them. The female classmates are better than the male classmates and are more polite. He said: "No need to be so polite, no need to call me teacher, I am only a few years older than you."

Ma Lu also made a small notebook. She came over and asked, "Dr. Xu, I would like to ask, is your medical skill inherited from your family or learned in school?"

Xu Yang replied: "I learned it in school, and I just graduated."

Ma Lu asked: "Where did Dr. Xu graduate?"

Xu Yang paused for a moment and replied: "Southern Chinese Medicine..."

Several people on the opposite side were shocked. The four best universities of traditional Chinese medicine in the country are Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. The admission scores of these universities of traditional Chinese medicine are quite high!

Damn it, what a top student!

The people opposite were stunned. They were students from Jiangbin Medical University. What concept did they have? To put it simply, they didn’t have any majors in the school!

Song Qiang, who was sitting back and watching the excitement, was also a little surprised. He also raised his head in surprise. Did Xu Yang graduate from Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Then how did you get into this small clinic of theirs?

Song Qiang immediately turned to look at Zhang Ke, she didn't...

Zhang Ke was taking pictures with his mobile phone, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Zhang Ke secretly added in his mind for Xu Yang, he was the best student in their class, bar none!

Chen Xia was keenly aware that there seemed to be some story here, and he asked: "How did Dr. Xu come to this Chinese medicine clinic?"

Xu Yang replied: "It's pretty good here, let's ask some serious questions."

Chen Xia knew that Xu Yang didn't want to say more, so he motioned to Ma Lu with his eyes.

Ma Lu looked at his pamphlet and asked: "Dr. Xu, we have all seen your previous video of tasting aconite soup. Is this a sarcasm and resistance to the medical institution's aconite test results?"

Everyone looked at Xu Yang again, and Chen Xia also pointed the camera at Xu Yang's face.

Xu Yang replied: "Everyone knows that aconite is poisonous. Not only you know it, but we have known it thousands of years ago, so we have already had corresponding medicinal methods."

"Generally, raw aconite is rarely used. It is processed and reused. The correct processing method will greatly reduce its toxicity. There are also strict dosage and compatibility methods when using aconite."

"For example, we will add licorice to aconite to control its toxicity. After frying it for an hour, its toxicity will be greatly reduced."

"The reason why I drink aconite soup is to show that low doses of aconite will not cause poisoning. The other reason is to show that traditional Chinese medicine should have the spirit of Shen Nong who tasted hundreds of herbs."

"Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners must taste the medicinal materials. Only with enough understanding can they know what they are doing and use the medicine accurately when prescribing to patients."

"But it is not recommended for ordinary people to try it, because Chinese medicine is used to treat diseases. Taking medicine when you are not sick or taking medicine indiscriminately when you are sick will cause problems."

Chen Xia frowned, and Xu Yang answered too politely. This was not what he wanted. He was a self-media person and wanted topics.

Chen Xia took the initiative to ask: "Medical research institutions have also conducted research on traditional Chinese medicine, and have conducted detailed research on various active ingredients and pharmacological analyses. Can't you just read the report? Why do you need to take the medicine yourself?"

Xu Yang replied: "That's not the same at all."

Chen Xia's question suddenly became sharp: "Do you not recognize the research conducted by medical institutions at all? Or do you think your personal experience is more accurate and more applicable to patients than medical research reports?"

Zhang Ke's brows suddenly wrinkled: "Aren't you digging a hole?"

Xu Yang waved his hand: "I've wanted to say this question for a long time. Yes, I don't agree."

Chen Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, that's right, now there's a topic!

Xu Yang's words were not shocking and he said: "There should not be such a so-called Western medicine research institution to study Chinese medicine. This thing was wrong from the beginning."

Chen Xia suddenly became excited, "I'll go, it's a big topic!"

Several people who came with them were also a little dumbfounded. Was Dr. Xu speaking so harshly?

Zhang Ke reminded: "Xu Yang, don't talk nonsense. Be careful of being attacked by a group."

Xu Yang said sternly: "Whenever a great doctor treats a disease, he must not look forward or backward, worry about his own good or bad, and protect his life. I am a doctor, and if I think something is wrong, I will definitely say it. It doesn't matter who comes."

Zhang Ke and Song Qiang were startled at the same time.

Several children opposite were also stunned.

Chen Xia held the camera with both hands and suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Please tell me carefully."

Xu Yang said: "In fact, traditional Chinese medicine has never had any active ingredients. It has four properties: warm, cool, cold and hot, five flavors: sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty, and four characteristics: ascending, descending, floating and sinking. Which of the twelve meridians of the human body enters."

"This is traditional Chinese medicine, and we rely on the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases, using the medicine's properties to correct the body's deviations."

"To give a simple example, there is a medicine in traditional Chinese medicine called floating wheat. What is floating wheat? Take a handful of shelled wheat and throw it into the water. What floats is floating wheat."

"Then tell me what are the active ingredients in floating wheat? Aren't those full-grained, shiny wheat better than these shriveled things?"

Several people on the opposite side were stunned.

Xu Yang added: "We have an old Chinese doctor named Zhang Canjuan, who is our master of traditional Chinese medicine. When he was young, he felt that floating wheat was too outrageous when he was treating diseases. There was no scientific basis at all. It would be hard to eat even a steamed bun with floating wheat. Better than that."

"So at that time, as long as there was floating wheat in the classic prescription, he would remove it. But after removing it, the effect was very poor and the patient could not be cured. But when it was added, the effect was very fast."

"Later he understood that what we relied on was the lifting power of floating wheat. If you lack this, it just won't work. If you ask the Medical Research Institute to study it, can they develop the lifting power? He will tell you ,This unscientific."

"Also! Ginseng, you all know this. It was also studied by the Institute of Western Medicine. Ginsenosides are the active ingredients of ginseng. However, the study found that the saponin content of the main root of ginseng is the lowest, and the lateral roots of ginseng are the highest."

"The saponin content of ginseng whiskers and even ginseng leaves is higher than that of the taproot. So why should we eat ginseng? Can we just chew the leaves?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine needs research institutions, but it is definitely not Western medicine-style research. You can't ask monks to study the Bible. This is not the same thing. What we need are research institutions that truly understand Chinese medicine."

"The Eighteenth Rebellion and Nineteenth Fear have been controversial for hundreds of years, and we also need to study it. Every real old Chinese medicine doctor has several good prescriptions accumulated in clinical practice for decades."

"For example, the Wugen Decoction by Li Fenglin, a famous doctor in Inner Mongolia, is a good medicine for treating exogenous fever in children. The effect is not much worse than antibiotics, but it does not have the disadvantages of antibiotics. If this is promoted, how many people will benefit!"

"There are many, many prescriptions like this, but they are all buried. We really need research on traditional Chinese medicine, but what we need are people who really understand traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine to do this."

Comrade readers who are studying Chinese medicine, please come on! The future of Chinese medicine depends on you!
