After asking about all the patient's daily symptoms, Sheng Kangning began to take his pulse.
After examining the left hand, he examined the right hand, and then he spoke:
"Uncle, your condition is caused by long-term illness, spleen deficiency and dampness, and disordered metabolism." When he saw the uncle's confused expression, Sheng Kangning smiled and reorganized his words:
"It is because the spleen and stomach are weak, and the metabolism is disordered, which leads to the suppression of stomach yang and the inability of the body to function normally.
To put it simply, when you should be eating, you don't feel hungry, and you don't eat. By the time you feel hungry, it's already past mealtime, and the food isn't digested by your stomach. Over time, the spleen and stomach system in your body begins to become dysfunctional!
This time you fainted because you had irregular meals, were weak, and were in the heat. There were many people on the train, and you had difficulty breathing. Uncle, your disease can be cured! You just need to get your spleen and stomach functioning normally. It just takes time to get well. "
The man with a yellowish complexion looked at Sheng Kangning and smiled:
"Girl, can this disease of uncle be cured?"
Sheng Kangning smiled and nodded:
"Of course! And the recipe is simple. The most important ingredient is Gorgon Fruit! This ingredient can be used as both medicine and food. It's more like a food therapy."
Song Yunpeng blinked, thinking he had heard wrongly, and asked:
"You mean my father's illness doesn't need to go to a big hospital?"
Why doesn't he believe it!
This time he took his father out to a big hospital in the provincial capital for treatment. His father couldn't eat and his health was seriously damaged. If he wasn't treated, he would probably die soon!
Sheng Kangning hummed: "No, just take this prescription regularly every day. Your father just has spleen and stomach dysfunction, which makes him unable to eat. His condition is not serious, so there is no need to go to a big hospital."
Someone in the crowd asked, "Little girl, what exactly is the medicine called Gorgon Fruit you mentioned?"
Sheng Kangning smiled and said:
"Gorgon fruit is a commonly used medicinal and edible herb. It is one of the Eight Immortals of Water. It is white like lotus seeds, but slightly smaller than lotus seeds."
At this point, Sheng Kangning looked at Song Yunpeng and said:
"Next time you buy water chestnuts, be sure to ask for southern water chestnuts!"
Someone else asked curiously: "What does this mean?"
Sheng Kangning smiled lightly: "Gorgon fruit is divided into southern Gorgon fruit and northern Gorgon fruit. Southern Gorgon fruit is mostly produced in Hunan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while northern Gorgon fruit is produced in Shandong and northern Jiangsu. Its quality is inferior to that of southern Gorgon fruit. In terms of medicinal effect, southern Gorgon fruit is naturally the best."
After Sheng Kangning finished speaking, he took out paper and pen from his cloth bag and started writing the prescription.
The recipe is simple, but there are many things to pay attention to. After writing it down, I handed it to Song Yunpeng:
"This is a recipe for conditioning. It's simple, but there's one thing you have to stick to, which is that it takes at least two years. You should also pay attention to your diet in the future.
Three meals a day must be eaten at regular times and places. Even if the uncle does not feel hungry at the time, he must eat. Over time, it can form a conditioned reflex of the body and help the secretion of digestive juices.
At the same time, when eating, you should develop the habit of chewing slowly. If you are not used to it at first, count it. Count silently in your mind about ten times. The more times you chew, the more it helps the secretion of digestive juice.
Eat less pickled vegetables at home, or try not to eat them, and don't eat spicy food. Also, quit smoking and drinking.
You should keep your body warm and avoid freezing, especially your stomach. Also, develop the habit of regular bowel movements. I have written all of these in the following precautions. Also, the time to eat Gorgon fruit should be 10 a.m. "
Someone asked:
"Why is the time for eating Gorgon Fruit set at ten o'clock? Is there a time for taking medicine?"
Sheng Kangning said:
"The qi and blood in our body circulate and transform, and each time period corresponds to an organ in the body. The time when qi and blood flow through the spleen and stomach is this time. Eating gorgon fruit at this time will have a better effect than at other times!"
"Oh, little girl, I can't tell that you have really learned it. Please help me. My kid doesn't like to eat. Look at him. He is six years old, but he doesn't look as tall as a four-year-old child! What do you think I should do?"
The person who was speaking was a woman in her forties, and standing next to her was a thin little boy.
He looks to be about four years old.
If this aunt hadn't mentioned the child's age, who would have thought that he was already six years old!
Pingkang from Mrs. Qin's family is also four years old and is half a head taller than this child.
Sheng Kangning looked at the aunt and said:
"Auntie, please wait a moment."
Sheng Kangning turned to Song Yunpeng and continued:
"Uncle's illness has been delayed for too long, so you must persist. After buying all the herbs, you need to fry the water chestnuts first. Take out dozens of them a day, grind them into powder with other medicines, and take them with boiled water."
Song Yunpeng's brows relaxed. His family lived in the countryside and was not rich. This time when he went to the provincial capital, his family had borrowed a lot of money to feed themselves. Now Dr. Sheng said there was no need to go to the hospital. Song Yunpeng had already made up his mind to get off at the next stop and buy a ticket to go home.
Song Yunpeng looked at Sheng Kangning and thanked him repeatedly.
"You're welcome! I just encountered this." Sheng Kangning reached into the cloth bag and touched the silver needle. He didn't take it out immediately. Instead, he looked at the uncle and asked, "Uncle, are you afraid of needles?"
The uncle shook his head: "You want to ask me if I get scared by needles? I don't get scared by needles. I've had acupuncture before."
Sheng Kangning smiled and nodded:
"That's good. I thought I'd use acupuncture to temporarily regulate your spleen and stomach. When you're away from home, try to eat three meals on time as much as possible. This will help your recovery!"
After Sheng Kangning finished giving acupuncture to the uncle, his complexion looked much better.
He waved to his son and said with a smile, "I think I'm hungry!"
After hearing this, Song Yunpeng's eyes became moist. It had been a long time since he heard his father say that he was hungry!
Song Yunpeng raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and looked at Sheng Kangning:
"Doctor Sheng, can I give my father something to eat?"
Sheng Kangning nodded: "It's lunch time, of course, you must strictly follow the schedule for three meals a day."
Song Yunpeng said yes and took out the sesame pancake he bought outside the train station from his luggage.
Sheng Kangning saw it and said:
"Break the sesame cake into small pieces and soak them in boiling water. You can eat them when they are soft. Don't eat too much at first. Just give your father half a bowl. After a week, increase the amount of food you eat by one third. After a month, your uncle's appetite should be back to normal."
Song Yunpeng broke off half of the sesame cake and soaked it in boiling water.
After the sesame pancake was softened, Song Yunpeng fed it to his father.
Sure enough, Uncle Song only drank half of it and waved his hand: "Comfortable! My stomach feels warm! I don't feel uncomfortable!"
Song Yunpeng bowed to Sheng Kangning gratefully:
"Thank you, Dr. Sheng. You don't know that my father hasn't been able to finish a normal meal for many years!"
Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "Remember, you must persevere."
