Chapter 1973: Medicinal Plaster
Man Bao shook his head, "We should use a combination of methods, focusing on lung qi. The combination of medicinal plasters and acupuncture is enough to relieve lung qi."
"What kind of patch do you have?"
Manbao wrote down a prescription for him to see.
Doctor Liu said, "I've never seen anyone use this prescription."
Manbao said: "This is my new research."
“Is it useful?”
Manbao nodded and said, "My father had a fever and cough some time ago. He got better after three patches. He didn't even have to take medicine."
Doctor Liu was surprised. "Did you come up with all this?"
"That's not the case. I added some medicines and changed the dosage of some of them." This was indeed something she figured out. Teacher Mo found her some ancient prescriptions that had been preserved from their time. They were real ancient prescriptions, and the real paper was tattered and blurry, and they were on display in a museum.
Because Manbao's diseases at this age are basically basic and can be fatal if not handled with care, Teacher Mo would occasionally find some ancient prescriptions from some places to show her.
One of the pictures was about making a medicine patch. Manbao read the introduction and thought it was great because she didn't have to take medicine. She could just apply the patch and it would act on the body through the skin to treat lesions in the body. She thought it was especially friendly to people who don't like taking medicine and children.
Unfortunately, the ancient prescription was severely damaged, and the philologists of that era only restored most of it. Manbao was still thinking about adding medicinal ingredients to it.
She has anthropomorphic models to simulate treatment effects, and countless disease data, so she can make continuous adjustments.
Of course, there is still some difference in inputting the disease data into an anthropomorphic model for testing, but she feels that when the condition is almost certain, the medicine can be used.
So she made the plasters herself, and not only provided some to Jishidiang as a gesture of friendship, but also applied three plasters to her father when he had a cough, and supplemented it with acupuncture. The cough stopped temporarily in two days. Of course, it would take about five to ten days of applying the plasters to cure it completely.
Sometimes, stopping coughing does not mean that the lesion has disappeared.
It is very likely that it has been suppressed to the point where it cannot raise its head, so it has temporarily become dormant, so subsequent medication is also critical.
However, generally only wealthy people who have money and the desire to take care of themselves would do this. Even her father, even though the plaster was made by her, was afraid of spending too much money, and he was unwilling to use it again after five patches.
Manbao strongly recommended it. Although Doctor Liu had never seen the effect, he nodded in agreement based on his trust in her.
A more important problem is that the queen is suffering from multiple symptoms at this time, and it is difficult to take care of all of them with only decoctions and medicines. The best way is to use multiple methods at the same time.
Doctor Liu pondered inwardly and came up with a prescription. "Since the plaster can regulate lung heat, then the decoction can regulate spleen, kidney, and liver qi. You can also use acupuncture to assist the efficacy of the medicine and protect the heart meridian..."
Manbao peeked at the prescription written by Doctor Liu and discovered that he had changed several ingredients on the original basis. After a little thought, she discovered the key. She nodded repeatedly, "Your prescription looks much better than the previous one. You can give it a try."
So the two of them wrote down the medicines they needed and gave them to the medical assistant to get them.
Doctor Liu also discussed with Manbao, "I have discussed this with Dean Xiao privately. If this doesn't work, we can use snow lotus to make a plaster for the Empress to take daily."
Man Bao said, "It's too cold. Your Majesty already has a cold body. How can you use snow lotus?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. She suffers from a combination of lower body cold and upper body heat. Especially this time, her anger has attacked her heart, causing lung heat and spleen warmth to surge up, blocking her liver qi and damaging her kidney qi. If the lung heat isn't suppressed, I'm afraid..."
Manbao whispered, "It's not the time to use the tiger and wolf medicine yet, let's wait a little longer."
Doctor Liu nodded, "I just hope this treatment will be effective."
Otherwise, even the most powerful medicine would have to be used to save your life first.
After the medical assistant brought the medicine, the two of them checked it out and then went to the tea room together to boil the medicine and make ointment.
Making ointment is much more troublesome than boiling medicine, so the medical assistant helped Zhou Man.
She didn't hide the recipe and gave it to him directly.
The three of them were busy in the tea room, and in less than two quarters of an hour a strong smell of medicine wafted out. When the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came over and smelled the smell of medicine all over the yard, they couldn't help but frown and hurried to see the Queen.
The emperor was holding the queen's hand to comfort her, saying that he would definitely punish the third son severely this time and would never let him do such unfilial things as self-harm again. He also comforted her by saying that the Imperial Hospital had found a way to treat Prince Gong's leg disease and it was very likely that it could be cured, so he asked her not to worry and to take good care of herself first.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess stopped in their tracks. The Crown Prince couldn't help but hum softly at the door of the inner room. What do you mean by a high probability of being cured?
The imperial physician clearly said that there was a high probability that the condition could not be restored to its original state.
However, the queen was seriously ill at that time, and the prince would not point it out to make her worry. He adjusted his expression, forced a smile on his face, and went in to pay his respects.
The queen leaned on the pillow and smiled softly when she saw them: "How did you come in? Be careful or you might get sick."
The prince asked, "How can you be so spoiled? What does your mother think?"
The Queen said tiredly, "I'm much better now, but I feel like my bones are rotting away from lying down. But your father and the imperial doctors won't let me get out of bed."
The emperor patted her shoulder and said, "The imperial physician said you should take good care of yourself, so take good care of yourself..."
The family chatted for a while, and Doctor Liu prepared the medicine first. Manbao followed him and stood up. "Let's go. I'll give you acupuncture first to stimulate the medicinal properties, and then take the opportunity to regulate your heart qi."
She looked at the medical assistant.
The assistant doctor immediately said, "The medicine will be ready in another quarter of an hour, and we can prepare the ointment then."
Manbao nodded. "Don't use ice or water. Let it cool down naturally. Even if it's not cold, it's okay. The warming effect of this patch is also very good."
The medical assistant responded.
Manbao and the others handed over the tea room to him and the palace maid who was helping him, and together they took the medicine to the queen.
While the Empress was giving acupuncture, the Emperor and the Crown Prince retreated outside. Father and son simply stood in the corridor and talked. "Have you been to see Mingda?"
"Yes, she is in much better spirits. Zhou Man's medical skills are still very good."
The emperor naturally recognized Zhou Man's medical skills. He glanced at the inner room and sighed, "I hope her medical skills will be useful to your mother this time."
The prince said nothing.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said to the crown prince, "Don't think too much about the third brother. He's just overthinking it. He feels that your mother and I are alienating him, so he came up with this stupid trick to attract attention. But he didn't expect it would hurt himself instead."
The prince was skeptical about this statement. He thought, how stupid must a person be to do such a thing?
The third child is obviously not stupid. He is much better at studying than him. He has been praised for his intelligence by his father and teachers since he was a child. He is not a three-year-old child. Does he need such a method to attract his parents' attention?
See you tomorrow, I'll go cut the cake
