Yun Heng said to Kahn while writing on the note paper.

"Um?"

Kahn looked confused and didn't understand a word.

Seeing Kahn's bewildered face, Yun Heng organized his words and said, "Under normal circumstances, the spleen system has the function of transporting and transforming water and dampness, allowing the body's fluids to flow normally and prevent them from stagnating and forming dampness. However, when the spleen is deficient, the spleen and stomach system's function of transporting and transforming water is weakened, and water is more likely to stagnate and form dampness. Excessive dampness, in turn, can affect the recovery of spleen function. This is what is known as spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction."

Although Kahn is a foreigner, he has been living in China for many years. After Yun Heng's simple explanation, Kahn understood some of it and nodded.

Yun Heng continued, "As for dysfunction of transportation and transformation, it refers to the entire process by which the body digests, decomposes, and absorbs water and food, transports the absorbed nutrients and water to every corner of the body, then recycles the metabolic products from various parts of the body, and finally processes and excretes them from the body. Failure actually means a strike. The transportation and transformation function has lost its original responsibility, which means it has gone on strike. At this time, the various functions of the body naturally cannot function normally."

"I understand this. You explained it so clearly and straightforwardly."

Compared with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction, Yun Heng's explanation of dysfunction of transportation and transformation was more straightforward, and Kahn understood it better.

Yun Heng smiled and said, "In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the middle burner refers to the spleen and stomach. Dampness blocks the middle burner. Dampness blocks the spleen and stomach, affecting their transportation and transformation functions. The stomach yang is suppressed and cannot function normally, which leads to the series of symptoms you are experiencing."

Yun Heng was just studying these things. It was like the panel had already given the correct answers. He was looking at the answers when Kahn came with the same questions. Therefore, Yun Heng was able to explain them very smoothly.

As he spoke, Yun Heng wrote a prescription for Kahn and handed it to him: "When eating, pay attention to eating light and easy to digest. Eat three meals a day regularly, and only eat when you feel hungry. This regular and quantitative eating can form a conditioned reflex habit, which helps the secretion of the digestive glands. At the same time, when eating, develop the habit of chewing slowly and thoroughly. Chew your food thoroughly. The more times you chew, the better. The more times you chew, the more it helps with the secretion of saliva, which protects the gastric mucosa."

In fact, many people know the latter point. Some adults will also remind their children when teaching them not to eat too fast, but to chew slowly. This is because eating too fast is more harmful to the stomach.

"Well, thank you, doctor." Kahn nodded.

"Also, remember to develop a habit of regular urination and defecation, protect yourself from cold and frostbite, and keep your stomach warm. Avoid greasy, meaty foods, fried foods containing milk, pickled foods, and spicy foods. These are not good for your stomach and can be harmful. Also, don't smoke or drink. You have a chronic disease, so you need to pay extra attention to many aspects."

Kahn was fine in other aspects, but he was a heavy smoker. He asked with some doubt: "I can't smoke. I don't have lung disease, so can't I smoke?"

Yun Heng explained, "I've said a lot about how smoking is harmful to your health. Everyone who smokes knows it. Smoking not only affects the respiratory tract, but it can also constrict the blood vessels in your stomach, affecting the blood supply to the cells in your stomach wall. This can reduce the resistance of your gastric mucosa and induce stomach problems."

"Yeah, I'll quit smoking."

Although he is a heavy smoker, Kahn is willing to quit smoking because of the stomach problems that have tormented him for so many years.

"Also, the best time to take the medicine is around ten in the morning. There's a note on my prescription, please take note of it."

"Why ten o'clock?"

This foreigner had a lot of questions, and every time Yun Heng asked a question, he would ask why.

Yun Heng didn't seem impatient at all. He smiled and said, "According to the theory of meridians, the circulation of qi and blood in the human body is determined by the time of day. Ten o'clock in the morning is when qi and blood flow through the stomach. Taking medicine at this time will help with its absorption and enhance its effect."

Yun Heng didn't know whether the other party could understand him or not. It was just a routine answer. He learned all of this in school, and it wasn't told to Yun Heng by the panel.

"Doctor, you are such a responsible doctor."

Kahn stood up and thanked Yun Heng. Although he had not taken the medicine yet and did not know the effect, Yun Heng's attitude won Kahn's favor.

"You're welcome."

Yun Heng watched Kahn walk out of the clinic, concentrating his mental energy, and a panel appeared in front of him.

"Gained the gratitude of patient Kahn, time +4."

Yun Heng was quite satisfied. After all, the patient wasn't fully recovered yet, and he was simply grateful for his kindness. Four minutes of extra time was quite good, and if the patient could recover, he could probably add quite a bit more time.
