Seeing that she was not cooperating, Mu Huaixi did not try to coax her. He simply asked Sister Xue to grab her hand and pull open her sleeves to reveal her slender wrist.
"Comrade Xu, can I borrow a light?" Mu Huaixi dipped the rush in the medicinal oil he carried with him and let the unsuspecting Xu Bu light it.
Except for Xu Linlin, everyone stared at the rush, watching it flash in the wind, and the tiny flame suddenly jumped to the size of a bean. Before anyone could react, Mu Huaixi, who was holding the rush, pressed the fire bean on Xu Linlin's wrist.
“Bang!”
A crisp quenching sound was heard, and the flames went out. Xue Xiangyang, who had been holding his sister-in-law's wrist, woke up in shock. He quickly pulled Linlin's wrist back and looked at the small gray spot on the horizontal lines of her palm with heartache. He asked angrily, "Doctor Xiao Mu, what are you doing? Linlin is still a child. She hasn't offended you!"
Xu Bu was also a little angry. He glanced at Dr. Jiang beside him and decided that he must have a good talk with him later!
Mu Huaixi was originally worried that Xue Xiangyang would blow on her acupuncture points, but when she saw her questioning him, she did not refute him, but just observed Xu Linlin's reaction.
Jiang Wenyuan helped explain, "Don't worry, don't worry. Doctor Mu's acupuncture method is inherited from our family and is very powerful."
Seeing that she was only staring at Linlin, Xue Xiangyang and Xu Bu began to doubt themselves. Could this really be some special treatment method?
"Burp," Xu Linlin suddenly burped. She covered her mouth and felt very embarrassed. She secretly glanced at her sister-in-law and tugged at her clothes.
Xue Xiangyang hurriedly helped his sister-in-law to calm down, and when she stopped hiccuping, he found that her tears had stopped at some point!
"This, this, this..." Xue Xiangyang was extremely surprised. He never expected that the problem that gave the whole family a headache could be solved by just a piece of rush!
"Doctor Mu, I'm so sorry. I apologize to you!" Xu Bu was also surprised and hurried to apologize on behalf of his wife, and of course also for his own doubts.
"It's amazing..." Xu Linlin touched her cheek, staring at the young female doctor in a white coat with sparkling eyes. A little hope rose in her heart. Maybe she was really sick. Maybe as long as she listened to the doctor, she could become the confident and happy Xu Linlin she used to be!
Mu Huaixi chuckled as he led the three of them to the clinic. He called out Feng Juan and asked her to take Xu Linlin to wash her face. After she was far away, he explained to the worried brother and sister-in-law, "Xu Linlin is indeed ill. She has insufficient lung qi, an imbalanced spleen and stomach, and a gloomy mind. I just had to act swiftly. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Xue Xiangyang just felt sorry for his sister-in-law. Now seeing that Dr. Mu had shown such a skill, it was obvious that he was a capable doctor. As long as Xu Linlin's illness could be cured, it would be worth it even if he had to burn her a few more times.
Xu Bu asked curiously, "Doctor Mu, how did you stop Linlin's tears by burning her with rush just now?"
"I just used lamp moxibustion on the Taiyuan point in the hand Taiyin lung meridian." Mu Huaixi raised his hand and touched the small bone on the radial anterior side of the transverse line on the palm side of the wrist. The radial artery can be felt here. It is the original point of the lung meridian and also a great tonic point. It has excellent effect in replenishing qi.
In addition, the moxibustion with lamps can quench and induct the Qi, which can accelerate the replenishment of Qi and the removal of impurities in a short period of time. Otherwise, Xu Linlin would not have burped.
Xu Bu only half understood what he heard, but his heart was relieved unconsciously. "Then will our Linlin still need moxibustion? Do we have to come every day?"
"That's not necessary. Lamp moxibustion is just an emergency measure. I'll need to examine her and take her pulse later. She'll just need to take some medicine. But I still have some questions for you. What were her symptoms before? What medicine did she take..."
After sending off the three members of the Xu family who were expressing their gratitude profusely, Li Fengjuan and Wang Xiaohua could not wait to surround them.
"Doctor Mu, how do you know she didn't want to come in because she had acne? You didn't even see her face just now, did you? How's her pulse?"
"Doctor Mu, Xu Linlin is crying because of insufficient lung qi. Is that the same for the real Lin Daiyu?"
Seeing both of them staring at her eagerly, Mu Huaixi couldn't help but sigh that strange illnesses were more noticeable. She thought for a moment and explained, "I haven't taken Sister Daiyu's pulse, so it's hard to say. She must be born weak, but judging by her low voice and tendency to sigh and cry, I can at least tell that she has liver qi stagnation and weak heart and lungs."
"As for Xu Linlin's symptoms, I have seen them in medical practice."
It is recorded in "Jinkui Yaolue" that women are irritable, happy, sad and want to cry, as if they are possessed by a spirit, and yawn and stretch frequently.
"If this disease occurs during pregnancy, it is called pregnancy sadness, and if it occurs after delivery, it is called postpartum irritability." When Mu Huaixi read this paragraph, he felt that this should be postpartum depression. He did not expect that our ancestors had seen this disease so early, but countless people in later generations ignored women's depression and thought it was making trouble for no reason.
She shook her head, pulling her thoughts back to her senses. She reviewed the diagnosis and explained it to the two of them. "The lungs govern the skin. If the lung qi is insufficient, the skin won't be healthy. Plus, she keeps touching her cheeks, and the little girl is at an age where she loves beauty, so I guessed this."
Wang Xiaohua and Li Fengjuan looked at each other. They didn't expect that she was just guessing, but when they thought about it again, it seemed reasonable. If it were them, they might not be able to figure it out at all. Mrs. Xue, who knew Xu Linlin very well, wouldn't have thought of it either, right?
Mu Huaixi continued to sort out the pulse records and diagnoses. "Xu Linlin looks tired, yawning frequently, with a thin fur and a weak pulse. The insufficient lung qi has affected the liver and kidneys. She obviously can't sleep at night, which has exacerbated her mental confusion."
"Then how do you know that she has been coughing for a long time after catching a cold? Her sister-in-law obviously didn't notice it." The more Li Fengjuan read Doctor Mu's diagnosis, the more amazing it seemed to her.
"Her cough isn't severe, it's just white phlegm, mostly occurring in the morning or at night, so her family doesn't notice it," Mu Huaixi recalled the prescription Xu Linlin had taken and shook his head. "Last time I told you about solar disease. Xu Linlin's symptoms were also solar disease at first, and the prescription was correct. It's just that the dosage wasn't enough to dispel the cold, and instead it invaded the lungs. The cold weather exacerbated the situation, leading to this."
The prescription Mu Huaixi prescribed for her was very bold. It was an improved combination of Baoyuan Recipe and Erxian Decoction, and the expensive ginseng that was hard to find at that time was deleted. Instead, he prescribed a prescription mainly based on Astragalus and Ophiopogon japonicus to replenish deficiency and qi, increased the dosage and reduced the number of doses, and asked her to drink it for two days and then come to the Ministry of Health to adjust the prescription.
When Sister Guo heard that she had removed the ginseng, she gave her a thumbs up, thinking that she must have been so attentive for her sake.
Two days later, Xue Xiangyang came again with Xu Linlin. One reason was to exchange the prescription, and the other was to ask Mu Huaixi if she needed rush or moxa. Their Furong Commune produced these, and they could sell them to the health center at a lower price.
Mu Huaixi was overjoyed. Both of these were good things that could be used frequently. She pulled Xue Xiangyang aside and discussed for a long time.
