As long as the patriarch’s Cantonese language is not spoken too quickly, Hua Banzhi can still understand it.

After all, the patriarch often communicates with the outside world and cannot speak too heavily.

Hua Banzhi nodded when she heard this, and looked at the old woman and said, "Give me your hand."

The old woman stretched out her slightly rough-colored hand and placed it on her knees.

"My cough is also strange. It happens as soon as the beginning of winter and is as good as the beginning of spring. Although it does not affect work, I always cough..." the old woman sighed softly.

Hua Banzhi put three fingers on her wrist and carefully tasted her pulse.

The patriarch stared at Hua Banzhi's hands with his eyes, and even held his breath, not daring to breathe heavily, for fear of disturbing Hua Banzhi.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my mother's medical skills are great, grandma's illness must be fine." Zhou Guangming, wearing a straw hat, looked at him and comforted him.

"Stupid brat, be careful of the braid blowing." Hua Banzhi said at him with a funny look, and withdrew her hand.

"Mom, look at your appearance, there must be no problem?" Zhou Guangming looked at Hua Banzhi with his eyes shining.

"Doctor?" the patriarch asked nervously at Hua Banzhi.

Hua Banzhi looked at her and asked, "Have you taken Sichuan shellfish medicine when you first coughed three years ago?"

"How did you know?" said the patriarch looking at Hua Banzhi with surprise.

She was even more surprised and said, "Yes! I used Sichuan loquat leaves to stew pears at that time. Loquat leaves are very common here. It worked a little in the first two days, but later it didn't work. But until now, I still insist on it and use it when I cough!"

Hua Banzhi looked at the couple and said slowly, "This is the cause of the disease. When I coughed just now, it should be that there was an external cold evil. Chuanbei is a cold medicine that has the effect of clearing heat. At this time, coldness will add to the cold, which will conceal the evil energy, causing repeated coughs to occur at this time of year in the future."

When the clan leader and his wife suddenly realized what they said, the clan leader asked again, "What does it mean to add cold to cold?"

Hua Banzhi looked at them and thought for a while and said, "What should I say? It's like, on a stormy day, I went out to wear less clothes, trembled all over by the cold, pale and sneezing person, just entered the room, did you hand him a cup of warm water or a cup of ice water with ice?"

The patriarch immediately said, "Is this more necessary? Of course, he will give him warm water to warm him up. If you give him ice water, he will be even colder." He smiled and said, "I understand."

"This is the reason. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "hot" cold, and cold is hot. We maintain the normal body by adjusting the cold and heat state of an individual." Hua Banzhi looked at them slowly with a smile, "Let's talk about a simple truth, such as in winter, a piece of meat is frozen very hard, and you seem to want to thaw. So do you choose to put it in cold water? Or in warm water?"

"Of course it's inside the warm water! How long does it take to wait in the cold water!" said the patriarch immediately.

"This is the truth." Hua Banzhi looked at the two of them and said, "When a person who just felt the cold evil, he was bleeding from the nose, sneezing, choking, pain in the back of the head and neck, and cold all over his body, these are manifestations of cold. At this time, using any Sichuan shell product will cause colder and make the cough not heal for a long time."

"But isn't it normal to take Chuanbei for coughing? We have always done this. "The patriarch said in surprise, "I haven't seen anything, I'm not going to post anything else."

"Haha..." Hua Banzhi smiled and said, "Chuanbei is slightly cold in nature, and some are also said to be cool. It has the effect of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, relieving phlegm and relieving asthma, clearing heat and relieving phlegm. It is used for fever cough, such as wind-heat cough, dry and hot cough, and lung fire cough. However, doctors in history have rarely mentioned that misuse of Sichuan Bei, which will lead to the residual cold evil and will not heal for a long time."

In the "Bencao Jing Shu" by Miao Xiyong, a doctor in the Ming Dynasty, he mentioned: "Cold, damp phlegm and food accumulation of phlegm and fire cause cough, damp phlegm in the stomach nausea and want to vomit, phlegm and fluid cause cold and heat, spleen and stomach damp phlegm cause dizziness, phlegm and headache, middle aversion to vomiting, stomach cold as a result, stomach cold as a result, the method should be used to treat the medicine of spicy, warm, dry and hot." The ancients clearly mentioned that Sichuan Bei should not use Sichuan Bei.

However, what Hua Banzhi saw was more misuse of Sichuan pepper, especially after the increase in Chinese patent medicines in later generations.

There are obviously more cases of cold evil stagnation than other drugs.

Hua Banzhi has seen many such children. In late autumn, they start coughing, lingering all winter, and then spring is good. Every time they meet such children.

She would ask what medicine she had used, but the answer was that she had used Sichuan shellfish medicine. For example, in the early stage of external cold infection, she used Sichuan shellfish stewed pear, or the Chinese patent medicine Sichuan shellfish loquat cough syrup, etc.

As long as I go to the pharmacy and say I need cough medicine, the clerks do not distinguish between cold and heat, I recommend this Sichuan Loquat cough syrup, which has caused many people to suffer. If I say it, I remember it, and I still make the same mistakes that are unintentional.

"We won't need it in the future." The patriarch said immediately.

"Look at going from one extreme to another." Hua Banzhi looked at them and said, "Shengbei stewed with snow pear is of course a good medicine, which has the effect of clearing heat and eliminating phlegm. But this is a cold medicine to clear heat and the snow pear inside is also cool. In the early stage of external cold evil, it is used in the wrong stage. We need to know one truth, that is, the medicine itself is not good or bad. If you use the right medicine, it is a good medicine. If you use the wrong medicine, it will harm people. For example, if you use the right rhubarb, it can save lives, and if you use the wrong ginseng, it will also kill people. This is a famous saying in traditional Chinese medicine."

"When will I use Sichuan Bei?" the patriarch asked at Hua Banzhi.

Hua Banzhi said slowly, "It is when there is dryness and heat, so it is used for Sichuan Celestials, such as red tongue, rapid pulse, yellow phlegm, yellow nose, and sore throat. This is a heat syndrome. When there is a heat syndrome, it is more suitable for using Sichuan Celestials. When there is a dryness syndrome, it is more suitable for using Sichuan Celestials. When there is a cold syndrome, this Sichuan Celestials will delay the disease."

"What should I do in this situation like me?" the old woman pointed at herself and said.

Hua Banzhi looked at her and smiled slightly, "The method is very simple. Use 6 grams of tangerine peel and 1 gram of Suye, soak it in water instead of tea. The medicinal properties of tangerine peel and Suye are warm and can warm the lungs and dispel cold. Generally, after drinking it for a period of time, the body will naturally expel cold evil. I will prescribe a prescription for warming the yang and promoting the lungs, which will be more effective."

"That's great." The couple said happily.

Hua Banzhi opened the medicine box, took out the notes and pens, wrote down the prescription, and handed them.

The patriarch looked at the prescription and said in surprise, "Your word?"
