Chapter 668: Twelve Meridians



"If the lung meridian causes coughing and shortness of breath, then does that mean the kidney meridian should be affected as well?"

The girl named Xiaotong glared at the young man who asked the question.

Nowadays, this girl is really not shy about some topics.

"I don't understand. If you don't understand, just ask."

The young man smiled and said to Yun Heng, "Doctor, do you think I'm right?"

Yun Heng looked the young man up and down, then nodded with a smile: "Yeah, that's right, kidney meridian doesn't mean it's not good. Your problem is not kidney meridian. Watch less movies and stay up less late."

youth:"......"

"Doctor, please don't say that, or I'll sue you for defamation."

Yun Heng's words made the young man's face turn red.

If it was just him, the young man wouldn't care, but there was a girl next to him. Among the three grown men, except Brother Fei, the other two came to accompany Brother Fei to see the doctor. They were attracted by the beautiful girl, otherwise who would have nothing better to do?

Now Yun Heng said in front of the beautiful woman that he was not good enough. Wasn’t this ruining her reputation?

"Oh, no?"

Brother Fei laughed, and laughed very happily.

Isn’t your own happiness built on the suffering of others?

"As a doctor, I rarely joke about my patients' conditions."

Yun Heng said seriously, "You really can't sue me. You're just hiding your illness and avoiding treatment."

"wipe!"

The young man was speechless.

"Any other questions?"

Yun Heng asked.

“Gone!”

The young man was very depressed.

"You can ask me about this in private later."

Yun Heng reminded: "Hair loss, insomnia, spontaneous sweating, you don't need me to say more if you feel it or not."

"wipe!"

The young man cursed again, this time not out of anger but shock.

Yun Heng was right about all of this.

"Where are the others?"

Yun Heng looked at the other young man.

"No, I don't. Although I don't understand the lung meridian, I know it has nothing to do with coughing."

The other was startled.

This Doctor Yun is quite capable.

The other one also had some problems and was going to make a few remarks, but another companion was instantly judged to be incompetent, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to ask.

What if something gets exposed?

It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not, but if Xiaotong believes it, then we’re all doomed, right?

"Read more books when you have nothing to do, and then talk after you understand."

Xiaotong glared at the other person again.

"This beautiful lady is right. Read more books when you have nothing to do. Don't jump to conclusions when you know so little."

As Yun Heng wrote the prescription, he said, "The famous Han Dynasty physician and medical sage Zhang Zhongjing systematically divided diseases into six categories in his Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases: Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Jueyin, and Shaoyin. These are the so-called Six Meridians."

"In the Suwen (Suwen) Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun (The Great Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang), there's also the saying 'the six meridians are rivers, and the intestines and stomach are the sea.' Each of the six meridians is further divided into the yin and yang of the head and foot, and in detail, they can be divided into the twelve meridians."

The Twelve Meridians are the collective name for the twelve main meridians of the hands and feet, namely the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, the Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian.

"The twelve meridians are divided according to the routes they run and the acupuncture points and organs they pass through. The Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian runs through the upper limbs and belongs to the lungs. It is a meridian with strong Yin energy. The Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian is responsible for lung-related symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, irritability, chest tightness, soreness or coldness on the inner front edge of the upper arm and forearm, or warm palms..."

The young man who had just been told no by Yun Heng interrupted again when he heard this: "Then I'm right."

"Shut up."

Xiaotong glared at the young man and hurriedly said to Yun Heng, "Doctor Yun, please continue."

Yun Heng didn't get angry and continued, "Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and the interplay of the five internal organs. Although the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian is clinically used to treat lung diseases, the concept of 'lung' is very broad. Lung diseases can also affect other meridians and organs, such as the liver and kidney meridians."

As he spoke, Yun Heng had already typed out the prescription, signed and stamped it, but he didn't rush to hand it to the patient. He continued, "As I said earlier, the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian runs through the upper limbs. The lung is a yin organ within the yang, connected to the autumn qi, and its characteristic is astringency and descent."

"The lungs are located high up, covering all the internal organs. They are called the canopy. The descending flow of lung qi is considered smooth, and when this flow is smooth, the qi of the five internal organs also flows smoothly. Hence, there is a saying that 'the lungs are the chief of the organs.'"

At this point, Yun Heng smiled and asked everyone, "Do you understand this?"

“I don’t quite understand.”

Fei Ge said honestly.

"Well, let's put it this way. The nature of lung qi is to contract and descend. When lung qi descends, the internal organs will be safe. But now the cold and dampness have invaded the hand Taiyin lung meridian..."

Yun Heng pondered for a moment before explaining in simple terms, "Originally, the lung qi should converge and descend, but because of the cold evil qi blocking it, it can't. It's like standing on a high place looking down. There's originally mist, and the mist should cool and condense into droplets before falling. But now, something is blocking it, and it can't fall. Now, if you look down through these water droplets, can you see clearly? Will it be blurry, or even double?"

“Huh!”

After Yun Heng explained this, Fei Ge instantly felt the same way: "Doctor Yun, what you said is very vivid."

As the person involved, Brother Fei could understand Yun Heng's statement very well. He now looked at things as if through a drop of water, seeing two things. It was really a vivid description.

"Doctor Yun, you explained it so clearly."

Xiaotong looked at Yunheng with admiration.

Yun Heng's statement was really vivid. Even people who didn't understand it understood it instantly.

"Of course, the specific pathological symptoms are different, but the general principle is similar."

As he spoke, Yun Heng handed the prescription to Brother Fei: "I've prescribed you a week's worth of medicine. Take it continuously after you go back without interruption. If you feel any discomfort after taking it, come back to see me for a follow-up consultation."

"Thank you, thank you."

Brother Fei took the prescription and took a look. It contained ephedra, apricot kernel, fennel and licorice, just four simple herbs.

"Doctor Yun, that's it?"

"Why, do you think it's too little?"

Yun Heng said, "It's not the amount of medicine that matters, as long as it's the right medicine for the symptoms. Go back and take your medicine well."

“It’s not that I sleep less, it’s that I sleep more…”

Brother Fei smiled and said, "I do feel that it's not easy to get a patient here, and you guys can't just prescribe medicine. It's so simple and costs so little."

He Yongfei, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. "Our Doctor Yun doesn't see patients very often these days. When you came just now, Doctor Yun was at the Tenth Hospital. Doctor Yun is usually very busy. If you hadn't communicated with Doctor Yun on Weibo in advance, you wouldn't have been able to get an appointment."

What does it mean to finally have a patient?

That's what I said.
