Chapter 890 Ling Gui Shu Gan Decoction



"No wonder Jiang Yuanbei sent Yun Heng here."

Looking at the expressions of the students beside her, Guan Yalan finally understood a little and spoke softly to Han Kaiping who came in.

"Yes, Yun Heng has only graduated recently, so he has a short period of growth and a high level of understanding. He understands the journey of these students better."

Han Kaiping nodded.

In fact, what Yun Heng said just now were all relatively superficial things, but precisely because these things were superficial, they were more in line with the current situation of these students.

Once in the hospital, senior doctors actually don't consider the students' actual situation too much. Students in the hospital only know what diseases they encounter and what diseases they understand. Senior doctors don't have the time to consider the students' actual situation.

If you can keep up, you will stay in the hospital. If you can't, you will be eliminated. The current competition model in hospitals is very cruel.

Even if they both graduate with a master's degree, after a few years, some will become attending physicians while others will still be inpatients, and the gap will gradually widen.

Guided teaching like Yun Heng's is almost impossible to find in hospitals.

Of course, this is almost the model of West Asia Hospital now, and this is also the special feature of West Asia Hospital.

"Just now, Zhang Xueyan talked about some of the symptoms of vertigo in modern medicine."

Yun Heng continued, "In fact, in terms of symptoms and manifestations, this condition should be Meniere's disease in Western medicine. Meniere's disease is the most common clinical condition. The medical history is aural labyrinthine edema caused by lymphatic drainage obstruction..."

When Yun Heng talked about this, many classmates opened their mouths in surprise.

Oh shit!

Dr. Yun actually knows Western medicine.

Yun Heng is a master's student who graduated from a major in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, after obtaining the panel, Yun Heng has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine in the simulation space. As Yun Heng's fame grew and his level of traditional Chinese medicine improved, many people in the outside world did not know that Yun Heng actually graduated from a major in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Now Yun Heng suddenly explained this disease from the perspective of Western medicine, which surprised many students.

Meniere's disease is the most common clinical disease. The clinical symptoms exhibited by the female classmate do fit the manifestations of Meniere's disease. However, it is surprising that Yun Heng, a Chinese medicine practitioner, has such a good understanding of Western medicine.

Zhang Xueyan looked at Yun Heng in surprise.

Senior Yun Heng knows more than her.

"Many students may be asking, 'Meniere's disease is characterized by otolabyrinthine edema caused by reflux obstruction. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies it as phlegm and fluid, which is understandable and makes sense. But from a modern medical perspective, the patient's disease is clearly in the head, so why does traditional Chinese medicine believe it's in the middle burner, below the heart?"

Yun Heng asked with a smile.

The students were stunned for a moment, and then began to whisper.

Tian Xiaoya looked at Yun Heng with her beautiful eyes, her eyes bright and lively.

This classmate of mine is amazing. He raised a proposition with just two simple sentences.

Just now, Tian Xiaoya and Guan Yalan were actually a little puzzled. Yun Heng should be quite averse to using Western medicine ideas in traditional Chinese medicine treatment, so why did he want to analyze it himself? It turned out to be this reason.

As far as this disease is concerned, from the perspective of Western medicine, anyone with a little common sense knows that the ear labyrinth edema caused by lymphatic reflux obstruction is located in the head, but why does traditional Chinese medicine say that the disease is located in the middle burner, under the heart?

This is a rather contradictory point.

"Does anyone know?"

Yun Heng asked with a smile.

The students at the scene looked at each other in confusion and no one answered. After all, they were only junior students, and this question was obviously beyond their understanding.

"Doctor Yun, why?"

A classmate asked loudly.

"This question involves the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine."

Yun Heng said, "To put it simply, Western medicine focuses on analysis and empirical evidence through anatomical methods, while Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes abstraction and induction through long experience and ancient philosophical theories."

"Modern medicine divides the human body into different systems based on anatomy and function, such as circulatory, respiratory, urinary, nervous, and motor systems. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, divides the human body into five major functional systems based on theoretical abstraction and physical organs, namely the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys."

"The heart stores the spirit, the liver stores the soul, the lungs store the spirit, the spleen stores the will, and the kidneys store the ambition... Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are divided into two aspects: one is the specific organ, and the other is the general term for the entire system. As far as specific symptoms are concerned, vertigo is considered to be related to the spirit in traditional Chinese medicine, so the disease is located below the heart, in the middle burner..."

"Oh my god... Doctor Yun is too blunt."

"Fuck, I finally understand."

After listening to Yun Heng's explanation, many students suddenly understood.

Many people are actually a little confused about the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Even medical students who study Traditional Chinese Medicine may find them confused at first.

In some diseases and in some explanations, the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs do refer to specific internal organs, but sometimes they are a general term. It is precisely this conceptual thing that makes it difficult to distinguish them.

Now that Yun Heng had explained the specific symptoms, many students understood.

"Okay, let's get back to the specific symptoms. Since it's a water drink, does anyone know how to use the medicine?"

Yun Heng asked with a smile.

"Doctor Yun, you can use Zexie decoction."

Zhang Mingfei said hurriedly.

"Zhixie decoction?"

Yun Heng smiled and said, "Can you tell me why you use this recipe?"

Zhang Mingfei didn't hesitate and said quickly, "Zexie Decoction comes from the Golden Chamber. It has the effect of promoting diuresis and eliminating fluid retention, strengthening the spleen and controlling water retention. It is mainly used to treat fluid retention in the heart, dizziness, and chest tightness..."

"Also, Zexie Decoction is mainly used to treat solar disease, and dizziness is one of the main symptoms of Zexie Decoction."

Zhang Mingfei was still thinking as he spoke, adding from time to time: "For dizziness caused by water invading the clear orifices, the treatment must focus on transforming the water..."

"very good."

Yun Heng was even more satisfied with Zhang Mingfei. He nodded with a smile and said, "Do you think there is a possibility that Ling Gui Shu Gan Tang is actually more suitable than Ze Xie Tang?"

"ah......"

Zhang Mingfei opened his mouth slightly and was subconsciously stunned for a moment. Many people around him couldn't help laughing.

After everyone had finished laughing, Yun Heng said, "Both Zexie Decoction and Ling Gui Zhu Gan Decoction target water retention that invades the clear orifices. Both are sweet and mild in nature, diuretic, and help the water retention flow downward, in line with the principle of 'drawing it out' in the Inner Canon of Medicine. Furthermore, the auxiliary herb in both prescriptions is Atractylodes macrocephala, which can both assist the main herb in diuresis and strengthen the spleen and restore balance. However, Ling Gui Zhu Gan Decoction also contains another herb, cinnamon twig..."

"Cinnamon twigs are pungent, dispersing, and warming, and they help to boost yang and transform qi, which is more in line with the principle in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases that 'those with phlegm and fluid should be treated with a milder approach.'"

Yun Heng paused and said, "In actual clinical practice, many of the outlines in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases can be used as the main reference, especially for beginners. In many cases, it is generally not wrong to focus on the Treatise on Febrile Diseases."

"Thank you, Dr. Yun."

Zhang Mingfei hurriedly expressed his gratitude. In just a short period of time today, he had gained a lot.
