Can Chinese herbal medicine treat external injuries?
Is traditional Chinese medicine not even as good as shaman dance?
Lin Banxia was so angry that she almost laughed. This guy had studied Western medicine for a few years and became so great that he even denied his ancestors.
How many years has Western medicine been introduced to China? How many years has Chinese medicine existed?
When Western medicine had not yet been introduced to China, didn’t Shen Bojie’s ancestors rely on traditional Chinese medicine to treat their illnesses?
"You Western doctors treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and you have the nerve to laugh at Chinese medicine? Western doctors don't do magic tricks, so why don't you cure my illness? If you can cure my illness, do it now. If you can't, don't stop me from giving you acupuncture and prescribing medicine."
Lin Banxia looked at the medicine on the prescription and said sarcastically, "We Chinese medicine practitioners are not like Western medicine practitioners. If we can't find the cause of the disease, we will blame the patient's psychological effects and prescribe some painkillers at random."
"You..." Shen Bojie looked grim as he listened to Lin Banxia's mocking words. "I've asked Auntie Tian to take an X-ray. There's nothing wrong with her knee!"
Western medicine practitioners are all about evidence, and he only prescribed painkillers after he was sure that there was really nothing wrong with Aunt Tian's knee.
But when it came to Lin Banxia's mouth, it sounded like he was prescribing medicine at random!
He is not a quack like Lin Banxia!
"I didn't say there was something wrong with her knee. I said there was something wrong with her stomach, which caused the knee pain. Is that a problem?" Lin Banxia raised her eyebrows.
"It's not that you can't cure it yourself, Doctor Shen, but you still say that our Chinese medicine is not as good as the shaman dance. Auntie, how about you come and be a witness? If I cure your disease, let this Doctor Shen perform a shaman dance in front of me. After all, I have never seen a shaman dance before."
As he spoke, Lin Banxia asked the old lady to roll up her trouser legs and pressed three inches below her knee.
“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts…” Aunt Tian screamed immediately, her face becoming even more gloomy.
Lin Banxia said, "It's normal to feel pain. This is the Zusanli acupoint on the stomach meridian. If you feel pain when you press it, it means there's something wrong with your stomach. Auntie, lie down. I'll give you acupuncture first."
The old lady looked at Shen Bojie and then at Lin Banxia. For some reason, she suddenly felt that this new doctor Lin looked much more reliable than Doctor Shen.
Although Dr. Lin was young and beautiful, and had nothing in common with the old Chinese medicine practitioner, she was able to describe her problems in detail, while Dr. Shen would only say that there was nothing wrong with her knee.
After making up her mind, Aunt Tian lay down on the acupuncture bed, waiting for Lin Banxia to give her acupuncture.
Lin Banxia took out her acupuncture bag and started giving acupuncture to Aunt Tian.
Shen Bojie was watching from the side, frowning as he watched Lin Banxia's antics. He remembered that when his grandmother was sick, she was misdiagnosed by the so-called barefoot doctor in the village, which delayed her treatment and led to her death...
From then on, he made up his mind to study Western medicine in the future and stop those barefoot doctors from harming people!
Lin Banxia treated Aunt Tian with acupuncture at the Zusanli and Liangqiu acupoints using the filiform needle method, with a balance of tonification and drainage, and left the needles in for twenty minutes.
In addition, Aunt Tian suffered from a typical spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction type, so she also performed moxibustion on Aunt Tian's acupoints.
After acupuncture and moxibustion, Auntie Tian stood up, stretched her body a bit and said, "Don't mention it, Doctor Lin, I seem to be feeling a little better..."
Although it still hurts, it has improved a lot compared to the beginning. It is more effective than taking painkillers!
Lin Banxia continued to prescribe a prescription for Aunt Tian: "You have knee pain, soreness and heaviness, and teeth marks on the sides of your tongue. This is a stomach disease caused by spleen deficiency and dampness. I will prescribe you Shenling Zhu San, which contains Codonopsis, Zhushu, Poria, Alisma, Cinnamon Twig, Papaya, Amomum villosum..."
"Take two doses a day. After three days, your knees and crooked mouth will improve a lot. However, stomach problems need to be taken care of. You should avoid raw and cold foods and bean products that easily cause bloating. Don't drink cold water." Lin Banxia handed the prescription to Auntie Tian. "Okay, Auntie, go to the pharmacy to get the medicine."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Lin." The old lady took the prescription and said quickly.
