Seeing such a young woman today, everyone is curious about Li Mai's medical skills.
When they met their colleagues, they inevitably talked about medical skills. Of course, this group of male doctors also intended to test Li Mai's medical skills.
The vice president, Liu Wen, told Li Mai about a patient he had treated a few days ago, the mother of the prime minister. He examined her pulse and found that she had damp heat, but despite taking many medicines and changing several prescriptions, her condition did not improve.
Normal damp heat wouldn't be this stubborn, so he took it out and asked Li Mai for some ideas.
After carefully inquiring about the pulse and what medicine he had given the patient, Li Mai understood the problem.
Li Mai told him to try Dang Gui Nian Tong Tang.
Liu Wen asked her why she came up with this prescription to treat the illness.
Li Mai said, "The chief herbs of Dang Gui Nian Tong Tang are Qiang Huo and Fang Feng, which can open up the meridians of the joints and have a remarkable effect on treating pain caused by damp heat. The main function of the assistant herbs is to promote the clear yang of the spleen and stomach to resolve dampness, so as to dispel wind and dampness."
"This prescription also seems to dispel dampness and clear heat, and its effects are similar to the Qianghuo Shengshi Decoction you used before, but the results will be very different."
"Although judging from the pulse you described, Qianghuo Shengshi Decoction would indeed be better, based on the patients' symptoms I've seen in my master's notes over the decades, the Prime Minister's mother's illness is likely due to her enduring a lot of pain, probably to avoid worrying her children."
"If the adults are unsure, they can ask the elderly person separately. If it is as I said, using Dang Gui Nian Tong Tang would be better. If the patient is elderly, taking a few more doses can improve the condition to about 70-80%, at least the elderly person will no longer be troubled by pain and can live out their old age in peace."
After all, they are getting old, and some illnesses are hopeless to cure completely, but alleviating the suffering of the elderly is still possible.
Liu Wen nodded thoughtfully, "If the old man is really hiding something, then we should really switch to Dang Gui Nian Tong Tang."
Li Mai nodded, looked at the emperor, and wanted to continue the previous topic.
