Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 260 Chinese Medicine Prescriptions

"Chun Ni, how about we try the Chinese medicine you mentioned?"

As soon as He Yanqing finished speaking, Chunni suddenly raised her head and looked at him, as if to confirm the truth of his words.

"Use it!" He Yanqing said affirmatively.

Chunni put Chuchu on the bed and patted her gently, while she used her other hand to turn the pages of the book "Theoretical Knowledge and Practice of Ancient Chinese Medicine". However, it was always inconvenient to use one hand, and she was always in a mess and could not find the right page.

"Let me do it!" He Yanqing took the book on his own initiative.

“I have marked it.”

He Yanqing nodded to show that he understood.

Sure enough, there was a page folded in the middle of the book.

He Yanqing opened it and saw that it was a prescription that looked somewhat familiar.

Chaige Jieji Decoction, the main ingredients are bupleurum, dried kudzu, licorice, scutellaria, notopterygium, angelica dahurica, peony, platycodon...

There is also a note at the end: Chaige Jieji Decoction can be used to relieve fever symptoms caused by exogenous wind-cold. This type of medicine can play the role of relieving muscles with pungent and cool properties, clearing away internal heat, and can help patients reduce fever to a certain extent.

"How about we try this?" Chunni asked cautiously.

He Yanqing carefully studied the combination of the so-called Chaige Jieji Decoction and nodded secretly. Although he was not a student of traditional Chinese medicine and did not know how to prescribe medicine, he could still understand a little bit after being influenced by his family. Moreover, he had taken a prescription similar to this when he was sick as a child.

"I'll go get the Chinese medicine when the hospital opens."

Chunni went to open the window. The moon was high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling. It was still early in the morning.

The couple could only keep their eyes open until dawn.

He Yanqing went to buy breakfast and came back, "Eat something first. Chuchu still needs your care!"

Chunni had no appetite at first, but after hearing this, she picked up the bun and forced two bites.

He Yanqing ate quickly and went to buy Chinese medicine.

The hotel waiter felt a little guilty towards Chunni and her husband. Seeing that He Yanqing wanted to boil Chinese medicine, he enthusiastically lent him a medicine jar.

The medicine was ready, but feeding it became a problem.

Chinese medicine is bitter, and adults don't like to drink it, let alone a one-year-old child. Chuchu was already feeling uncomfortable, and was forced to drink such bitter medicine, which made her even more upset. Chunni fed her with a spoon, but she didn't swallow it but spit it out, using her little tongue to push the spoon out, and the medicine instantly wet her collar.

"Chu Chu, be good. You will feel better after taking the medicine." Chun Ni coaxed.

"No, let me do it." He Yanqing asked Chunni to clamp Chuchu's legs with her legs, and held Chuchu's upper body tightly with her hands to prevent her from moving. He Yanqing pinched Chuchu's little mouth, pressed her tongue with a spoon, and the medicine was instantly sent into her throat.

Seeing that the method was effective, He Yanqing used the same trick again and poured half a bowl of medicine into the patient's mouth.

No matter how Chuchu cried and made a scene, he remained indifferent.

Seeing Chuchu crying in pain, Chunni's tears flowed out as if they were worthless, wishing she could suffer for her daughter.

However, medicine cannot replace taking medicine.

Fortunately, the medicine gradually took effect. Although Chuchu still had a fever, at least it did not reach 39° or 40°. After taking the medicine three times, Chuchu's condition stabilized and finally stopped having a fever.

Chunni cried with joy.

He Yanqing stared at the book "Theoretical Knowledge and Practice of Ancient Chinese Medicine" and fell into deep thought.

After Chuchu's fever subsided, Chunni and her husband took her back to Tuo County, and He Yanqing continued to use traditional Chinese medicine for her treatment. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good, and in less than a week, she was completely cured.

"Chinese medicine is still the best!" Old Mrs. Chu has repeated this in Chunni's ear so many times that she doesn't know how many times she has done so. "Back then, when I think about it now, I don't know if it was a right decision to study Western medicine."

"Then why did you choose Western medicine at that time?" Chunni was very curious.

"The main advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that the selected Chinese medicines in the treatment process usually do not cause too much impact on physical health, and the side effects are relatively small. The disadvantage is that the treatment time is relatively long. The main advantage of Western medicine is that the treatment time is faster, but there will be certain side effects, and some drugs will have a serious impact on physical health. Alas! When we were young, there were wars everywhere, and there were too many injured soldiers and civilians. In order to cure them faster, it is better to use Western medicine."

Chunni was silent when she heard this. The times have made Western medicine successful. The times have also curbed the growth of Chinese medicine, leading to the loss of Chinese medicine books and the gap in Chinese medicine talents. Chinese medicine is the quintessence of our ancestors, with a long history and the result of countless people's hard work. It is a pity to give it up like this.

Chunni still remembers that in her past era, when she was very young, she sprained her ankle. The doctor did not take an X-ray, but just felt the condition and knew it. He pulled the dislocated ankle and it went back in place.

But when she grew up, she never saw that clinic or that smiling Chinese doctor again.

Chunni fell into deep thought.
