Using Pinellia and Magnolia Bark Decoction Again

"Do you want to tell the truth?" Su Ziyang gritted his teeth and looked at Jin Yizhi.

"Why would I listen to lies?" Jin Yizhi gave a wry smile.

"Here's what I'm thinking: I'll prescribe three doses of medicine first. Come back to me after you've taken them; I need to take a look! Then, no matter what, I'll give you a definite answer!"

After thinking for a long time, Su Ziyang gave Jin Yizhi this sentence.

Jin Yizhi saw that Su Ziyang was not old, but spoke and acted very steadily, so he did not ask any further questions.

"Uncle, do you smoke Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes? They say they're good, I bought you two packs!"

Jin Tiantian came back skipping and hopping, carrying two boxes of Yellow Crane Tower and placing them on the table.

Jin Yizhi took a box and placed it in front of Su Ziyang, but Su Ziyang quickly pushed it back to Jin Yizhi: "I don't smoke, and you'd better not smoke either, it's not good for your condition!"

"Ah! Okay, okay!" Jin Yizhi quickly agreed and put the cigarette away.

"Yes, yes, Uncle, I already thought of what you said about buying me cigarettes. You really shouldn't smoke! I'll save them for you. You can smoke them again after Master Su cures your illness!"

Jin Tiantian took the two packs of cigarettes out of Jin Yizhi's hand and put them into a small pink bag she always carried with her.

Su Ziyang turned on his computer and started prescribing medicine. At present, Su Ziyang's idea is very simple.

Because Jin Yizhi's qi is stagnant in the upper body, Su Ziyang needs to solve this problem first, that is, to enable Jin Yizhi to breathe, eat, and drink normally.

At this moment, Su Ziyang thought of a sentence from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.

In the "Huangdi Neijing Suwen Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon's Inner Classic: Basic Questions: On Yin and Yang Correspondence), there is a sentence that reads, "Those that are high should be treated by raising and dispersing them, or by inducing vomiting (expelling them)." This refers to diseases located in the upper part of the body (high), such as those in the throat or stomach, which can be treated by raising and dispersing or by inducing vomiting (expelling them).

However, Su Ziyang's thoughts were not about overstepping his bounds; on the contrary, Su Ziyang wanted to humble himself rather than pat himself on the back.

Jin Yizhi's aura was only barely maintained. If he were to vomit, it was highly likely that the evil energy in his body would not be expelled, but instead the little bit of righteous energy remaining in his body would be expelled, and that would be the end of him.

So Su Ziyang came up with a prescription: Pinellia and Magnolia Bark Decoction.

Su Ziyang previously used this formula to treat a condition called globus hystericus.

Su Ziyang is now using this formula to treat Jin Yizhi's nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which uses a common treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine: treating different diseases with the same method.

Treating different diseases with the same method:

The principle of treating different diseases with the same method refers to the practice of treating different diseases with the same pathogenesis during their development.

The principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in treating diseases is not to focus on the similarities and differences of the diseases themselves, but rather on the differences in their pathogenesis. Different diseases can be treated in the same way, which is not determined by the cause or the symptoms, but by identifying whether different diseases share a common pathogenesis. Only when the pathogenesis is the same can the same treatment method be used.

For example, chronic dysentery with rectal prolapse, uterine prolapse, and gastroptosis are different diseases, but if they all present with the syndrome of sinking of the middle qi, they can all be treated with the method of raising and lifting the middle qi. The commonly used representative formula is Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (Supplement the Middle and Benefit the Qi Decoction).

Although globus hystericus and nasopharyngeal carcinoma are very different diseases, they both share the same problem: qi stagnation in the upper body and inability to descend.

With that in mind, Su Ziyang started writing prescriptions on his computer.

Chen Xiuyuan wrote the following formula song in his book "Jinkui Fangge Kuo":

It looks like a piece of roasted meat stuck in the throat, but it's actually phlegm stagnation and blocked airways.

One liter of Pinellia ternata and four ounces of Poria cocos, five parts ginger, three parts Magnolia officinalis, and two parts Perilla frutescens.

Pinellia ternata (20g)

Magnolia officinalis (9g)

Poria cocos (12g)

Ginger (15g)

Dried perilla leaves (6g)

3 pay

"Uncle, you can buy this ginger at the supermarket yourself. Just cut three slices, about the thickness of a one-yuan coin." Su Ziyang knew they didn't have any ginger, so he specifically gave Jin Yizhi this extra instruction.

Jin Yizhi nodded and went downstairs to pay.

Jin Tiantian didn't leave; she remained seated in the consultation room, staring at Su Ziyang.

"You should keep an eye on your uncle; his health isn't good! You should know that!" Su Ziyang didn't know why Jin Tiantian was staring at him so intently, so he could only say a few words.

"It's alright. I believe you can cure my uncle's illness. Heroes like you often have the ability to bring the dead back to life and heal wounds! It's just that you can't reveal this to ordinary people, I understand!"

Jin Tiantian gave Su Ziyang a knowing look.

"..." Su Ziyang looked at Jin Tiantian and suddenly felt a little lost, not knowing what to say to her.

"Didn't you just promise to give me the secret formula for the Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill? You heroes wouldn't go back on your word, would you?" Jin Tiantian said this with a slightly embarrassed expression, like a child asking their parent for a toy.

"..." Su Ziyang was stunned again.

"Well, how about this: you take good care of your uncle, and I'll give you this secret recipe when he comes next time, okay?"

After thinking for a long time, Su Ziyang could only offer a vague answer. He realized from Jin Tiantian's Jin Tiantian gaze that even if he said he didn't have the secret recipe, she wouldn't believe him.

"Okay, it's a deal. Goodbye!"

Before leaving, Jin Tiantian respectfully clasped her hands in a fist salute to Su Ziyang.

Not long after Jin Tiantian left, a familiar figure appeared in Su Ziyang's clinic.

"Master!" Su Ziyang saw Mr. Mengfei suddenly appear and quickly stood up from the stool.

"Sit down, I heard what you told me on WeChat. I finished what I was doing and rushed over here!" Mr. Mengfei never beats around the bush.

When Su Ziyang got off the train, he told his master, Mr. Mengfei, and Daoist Jin about encountering the middle-aged man who practiced acupressure on the train.

Neither Mr. Mengfei nor Daoist Jin replied to the WeChat at the time. Su Ziyang knew they were busy, so he didn't call them again. He just treated it as leaving a message for them, since he wasn't injured anyway.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Master!" Su Ziyang said a little embarrassed.

"Nonsense! You're my only apprentice. If something happens to you, it'll be too much trouble for me to find another one! I have to keep a close eye on you, you're all precious treasures these days! Let me see if it's serious!"

Mr. Mengfei wants to see Su Ziyang's injuries.

Su Ziyang closed the door and took off his shirt, revealing his shoulders.

Three clear finger marks were imprinted on his shoulder, surrounded by a ring of bluish-purple bruises. These were caused by Su Ziyang using his internal energy. As long as the wound reached the skin and flesh, it was considered a minor injury.

"Yes, it's definitely the same person as last time. The finger strength and angle are exactly the same! I heard you say on the phone that you've chosen him too?" Mr. Mengfei said with a smile as he handed the clothes to Su Ziyang.

"Haha, is that so? I've been learning from Uncle Jiang for so long, I can't let him down. I pressed a key acupoint on his waist, he won't feel comfortable either!"

Su Ziyang was just making a small boast, because given Mr. Mengfei's protective nature, he would definitely not punish him for this.

As expected, Mr. Mengfei patted Su Ziyang on the shoulder and nodded in satisfaction.
