Major Bupleurum Decoction + Chinese Brake Fern

Yu Xiushui's nephew fell silent and stopped speaking.

Su Ziyang quickly said, "Auntie, don't worry."

Yu Xiushui was still visibly agitated, and then exclaimed, "How can I not be anxious? He insists on having the surgery, saying it'll solve everything once and for all. Can I really let him have his gallbladder removed? That's ridiculous!"

Su Ziyang waved his hand, signaling Yu Xiushui to be quiet, then said to Yu Xiushui's nephew, "It's like this. I think Auntie is right. I'm not saying this just because I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Think about it carefully. Humans have existed for so many years. If an organ were dispensable, it would have evolved away long ago. Since it exists, it must have a certain rationale. Since there's a need not to remove it, then we won't remove it."

Yu Xiushui hearing Su Ziyang's words, Yu Xiushui's nephew hesitated slightly. "I'm in so much pain every day, will taking Chinese medicine really help? The doctors at the hospital all said that Chinese medicine is a scam, it doesn't work, no medicine can dissolve the stones in my body. We can have a minimally invasive procedure now, it won't be as painful."

Hearing Yu Xiushui's nephew say that, Su Ziyang could only laugh, "That doctor said traditional Chinese medicine is useless, then I'll say it's useful. He's a doctor, and so am I."

Yu Xiushui's nephew wanted to say something, but Su Ziyang waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything more, "How about this, aren't you in pain right now? I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles to stop the pain first, and then I'll prescribe some herbal medicine for you to try, see if that helps?"

"Xiao Haozi, let me tell you, my back and leg pain was all cured by Doctor Su. His acupuncture technique is amazing. Don't be ungrateful!"

Yu Xiushui patted her nephew on the shoulder. Hearing his aunt say this, and hearing Su Ziyang's sincere words, Xiao Haozi didn't know how to refuse, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Lie down in bed."

Su Ziyang helped Xiao Haozi lie down, then took the needles and sterile cotton balls and began administering acupuncture.

Su Ziyang did not use conventional acupuncture, nor did he use the Eight Methods of Flying and Soaring. Instead, he chose to use Umbilical Acupuncture.

This acupuncture technique is called "Wind and Thunder Clash".

The first needle was inserted into the Xun position, which corresponds to the Xun Trigram and wind, and the direction was towards the gallbladder.

Umbilical Acupuncture is painless, without the usual soreness Deqi. However, Umbilical Acupuncture has a special requirement: slow insertion. For a one-inch needle, it should ideally take about a minute to fully insert; the time must be longer, not shorter.

In just over two minutes, Su Ziyang completed the Zhen Trigram treatment of the Xun Trigram trigrams.

After lying there for five minutes, Yu Xiushui's nephew suddenly said, "I feel these two needles getting hot now, with gusts of heat."

"Good thing, close your eyes for a bit."

Su Ziyang told Yu Xiushui's nephew to close his eyes, but to his surprise, within two minutes, Yu Xiushui's nephew actually started snoring softly.

Aunt Yu Xiushui Su Ziyang made a shushing gesture, indicating that they should not disturb him.

Yu Xiushui quickly nodded and remained silent.

Yu Xiushui's nephew Xiao Haozi, had only slept for about half an hour when he suddenly woke up. "Um... I fell asleep. Sorry, I suddenly got sleepy."

"You're awake."

Su Ziyang watched Xiao Haozi with a smile.

Xiao Haozi smacked his lips, sighed, and said, "It feels so refreshing! I haven't felt this light in ages. Ah~"

After Xiao Haozi finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He then touched his right ribs, took a few deep breaths, and then pinched and tapped them with his hands.

"Ah, it doesn't hurt anymore. It really doesn't hurt anymore, damn..."

Overjoyed, Xiao Haozi forgot about the needles in his body, rolled off the bed, and looked at Su Ziyang in surprise.

"Alright, now you believe me, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Su Ziyang said with a smile.

Xiao Haozi, breaking his previous silence, excitedly sat down next to Su Ziyang: "I'm really sorry about earlier. This was my first time seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and I'm truly impressed. I'm a programmer, and to be honest, ever since college, I haven't really believed in traditional Chinese medicine and traditional culture. It seems I really need to change my mindset. Hurry up and prescribe the medicine! Prescribe the medicine!"

Xiao Haozi was already eager to take his Chinese medicine, so Su Ziyang opened the system and started prescribing the medicine.

Xiao Haozi's real name is Wang Jinghao, Yu Xiushui calls him Xiao Haozi as a term of endearment.

Bupleurum (28g)

Scutellaria baicalensis (15g)

Peony root (15g)

Ginger-processed Pinellia (15g)

Ginger (15g)

Fructus Aurantii Immaturus (14g)

Jujubes (3 pieces)

Rhubarb (5g)

Pteris vittata (8g)

7 pay.

With a few taps on the keyboard, the prescription was ready. It was a pre-existing formula called Major Bupleurum Decoction, with Su Ziyang adding a herb called Feng Wei Cao (Pteris vittata) at the end.

The formula Major Bupleurum Decoction is recorded in both the "Treatise on Cold Damage" and the "Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet". This formula is a purgative, and its purpose is to purge.

It can treat symptoms such as "heart palpitations" and "abdominal distension." Su Ziyang chose this method because Li Jinghao had distending pain under his ribs, which caused discomfort in his back and a noticeable sensation in the entire right half of his ribcage. Therefore, he chose this method to treat this symptom.

The key ingredient in this formula is the pteris vittata. While the Major Bupleurum Decoction formula can eliminate all uncomfortable symptoms, the pteris vittata is the specific herb for treating fossils.

If you have kidney stones, you can take only the herb Pteris vittata, steep it in water, and drink it like tea. It will have a very good effect.

Therefore, Su Ziyang added pteris vittata to Major Bupleurum Decoction, which served as the finishing touch.

"Alright, it's ready. You can go get the medicine now."

"Dr. Doctor Su, I'm a programmer, and I'm usually very busy, so I don't have time to prepare the medicine. What should I do?"

Li Jinghao looked slightly embarrassed.

"Haha, we can prepare it for you. I just ordered it for you, and it'll be sealed in small packets. Take one packet after meals. Just rinse it with hot water and it's ready to drink."

When Li Jinghao mentioned that he was a programmer, Su Ziyang had already anticipated this, so he directly ordered a cooking service for Li Jinghao.

"Wow, this is so convenient! That's great, so great! It's so much more convenient now, I never imagined it could be this convenient."

Li Jinghao repeatedly said it was convenient, Yu Xiushui rolled her eyes. "All you do is stare at the computer and type on the keyboard, and you're not even as up-to-date with the information as I am. You know nothing. It's embarrassing."

"Alright, alright. Second Aunt, you know best. I don't know anything, okay? You know everything, you know everything."

Li Jinghao hugged his second aunt's arm and said with a smile.

"Look, I said a few words to him, and he got upset. He's so heartless."

Yu Xiushui also laughed and scolded.

"Okay, okay, Doctor Su, thank you. We're going downstairs to pay."

Li Jinghao quickly pushed his second aunt, and the two left quickly.
