As the visitor entered, Lou Guozhang left Du Heng and others behind and turned to chat with the visitor.

Taking this opportunity, Cao Yuanqing, who had been silent just now, once again acted as an interpreter.

But just like before, his translation was only for a layman like Lao You. As for Du Heng, after seeing such obvious features of the visitor, the name of the disease had already appeared in his mind: belching.

Belching, commonly known as "burping or burping", refers to the sound made by the gas in the stomach going up into the throat and being expelled.

There are many reasons for this condition, such as gastrointestinal diseases, mental factors, bad lifestyle, etc., but the most common situation is caused by bad eating habits such as eating too fast, too hard, etc.

It's not painful or itchy, but it's quite uncomfortable, especially when the breath you rush up to is not released, but is stuck in the throat, it will cause a feeling of suffocation in the throat, and in severe cases, it may even cause a feeling of suffocation.

In addition, for those who have gastrointestinal diseases, every time they burp, the stench after digestion from the gastrointestinal tract will rush out of their noses, and it will just smoke themselves. If there are other people around, it will be very embarrassing, and

impolite.

"This means that he hiccupped right after eating at noon. After a trip to the mountains in the afternoon, the hiccups became more serious and he started hiccupping continuously."

Cao Yuanqing didn't know what Du Heng was thinking. He just listened to the conversation between Lou Guozhang and the patient, and softly translated for Du Heng and Lao You at the same time, acting very responsible.

Seeing a doctor in the hospital is a very common thing, so Du Heng and Lao You were not surprised. They just waited quietly for Lou Guozhang to complete his work.

But after Lou Guozhang chatted with the patient for a few words, he left the clinic directly and didn't know what he was doing.

Went to the toilet?

Du Heng and others waited aside honestly, but Lao You probably felt very uncomfortable after being criticized by Lou Guozhang just now. Seeing Lou Guozhang go out, he muttered, "Why do you people here like to talk so much?"

dialect?"

Cao Yuanqing chuckled and said, "We are all country people, and we are used to speaking in dialects.

And apart from young people, in fact a large number of elderly people do not speak Mandarin.

Unlike Director You in a big city in the capital, where there are people from all over the world, if you don’t speak Mandarin, you will be looked down upon. Here we are all fellow villagers, so there is no need to speak.”

Are there any problems speaking in tongues?

no problem.

Is there any need to explain?

It's definitely not necessary.

But now Cao Yuanqing has explained, and listening to the content of the explanation, it can be heard that he is a little unhappy with Lao You's performance today.

Why!

Du Heng sighed softly.

Although Lao You apologized to himself the day before yesterday and realized his problem, the imbalance in his heart obviously did not disappear.

Du Heng didn't know what to say now.

Following Cao Yuanqing's small warning, the three of them suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward for a moment.

Fortunately, Lou Guozhang walked in quickly after leaving, and everyone turned their attention to Lou Guozhang. However, after seeing clearly what Lou Guozhang was holding, let alone Du Heng and Lao You, it was...

Cao Yuanqing's eyes also glazed over for a moment.

A cane as thick as a little finger, very straight. Judging from the quality of the fracture, you can tell that Lou Guozhang just broke it in the yard.

Du Heng looked at Cao Yuanqing very confused, and Cao Yuanqing immediately returned the same confused look.

Okay, let's continue reading.

After Lou Guozhang walked in, he sat down directly in his seat, picked up the knife he had just placed and began to repair one end of the rattan, making it round, and then began to repair the branches and some protruding places.

of flatness.

Curiosity, the curiosity in Du Heng's heart reached its peak.

While he was reading, he kept recalling some of the Miao medical books he had read in the past few days, but unfortunately, he did not find any entries related to rattan.

While Lou Guozhang was repairing the cane, he chatted softly with the patient. He would laugh twice when the conversation was happy.

But this did not affect the movements of his hands at all. After he finished repairing the cane, he got up and went to the sink again, cleaned the cane completely, then took out the tape and gauze and began to wrap the repaired end.

After completing all the preparations, Lou Guozhang walked to the patient with a cane. After whispering a few words, the patient straightened his back, raised his chin high, and opened his mouth wide.

.

Du Heng's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he kept shouting in his heart: It's impossible, isn't it?

But the cry in his heart had no effect. On the contrary, Lou Guozhang's next actions began to overlap directly with the actions he imagined in his mind.

The cane was inserted through the patient's mouth!

Judging from the depth of insertion, it should have reached the stomach!

Fuck!

Do you want to be so cruel?

Do you want to be so rude?

It's not like belching or burping, right?

Du Heng felt very uncomfortable in his throat and even more uncomfortable in his stomach.

"!@#￥#"

While several people were stunned, Lou Guozhang pulled out the cane very slowly, and then spoke softly to the patient.

After the patient retched a few times and felt it carefully for a while, he said something to Lou Guozhang with a smile on his face, and then walked out with three steps of turning around in response to Lou Guozhang's words.

But just as the patient walked to the door, Lou Guozhang thrust the cane into the patient's hand and asked him to take it away with him.

No wonder big hospitals don’t see Miao medical techniques. As for this treatment method, let’s not talk about the effect, but in terms of hygiene, it is definitely not up to standard, let alone so...so...

Du Heng couldn't describe it for a while.

Lou Guozhang seemed to have done a trivial thing. After sending the patient out, he carefully began to clean up the garbage on the table.

After cleaning up the trash, Lou Guozhang glanced at Lao You and suddenly said in a confused manner, "Oh, the patient just now didn't take any money, and he didn't even pay the registration fee."

Yeah, this guy doesn't have a big mind either.

"Professor Du, where did we just talk?"

Lou Guozhang asked calmly, but before Du Heng could answer, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, the principle of lipotherapy.

This is actually very simple, it is a treatment method that uses pricking or cutting to stimulate acupuncture points or remove the roots and detoxify."

Du Heng quickly closed his eyes, took a quick breath, and quickly brought his thoughts back.

But even so, he still felt that his mind went blank for a few seconds before he began to regain his ability to think.

After gaining the ability to think, Du Heng finally grasped the key points of Lou Guozhang's words.

Stimulate acupuncture points?

Are there acupoints at the roots of the index finger and middle finger? What are the acupoints on the thenar and thenar eminences?

Du Heng thought quickly, and he didn't expect any acupuncture points to be in these two places.

There are no acupuncture points, but it has a super high cure rate. Lou Guozhang also confirmed that it stimulates acupuncture points....

Suddenly Du Heng's eyes lit up.

It is true that there are no acupuncture points at the base of the index finger and middle finger, but human fingers are the ends of the limbs and also represent the ends of the meridians.

In traditional Chinese medicine meridian science, the index finger is the terminal of the large intestine meridian, and the middle finger is the terminal of the pericardial meridian.

Therefore, this is not stimulating acupuncture points, but dredging the meridians.

The thenar refers to the area at the base of the palm under the big and small thumbs. The thenar is under the thumb and the hypothenar is under the little finger.

Referring to the corresponding areas of the palm and visceral reflexes, it can be seen that the stomach area is located inside the thenar eminence, and the large intestine area is located in the middle of the hypothenar eminence.

Therefore, the so-called fat cutting therapy is really not a superstitious technique, but a real treatment method guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

In fact, there are similar methods in traditional Chinese medicine, but it may be due to the region and the transmission environment. Traditional Chinese medicine now mainly massages the reflex areas of the palms, and due to the general environment, it pays less and less attention to it.

As for why Miao medicine developed such techniques, in addition to the factors of environment and transmission process, there is another biggest factor, which is the word "poison" in what Lou Guozhang just said about "eradicating and detoxifying".

Du Heng remembered that in a book he read a few days ago, there was a vague sentence, that is, in the theory of Miao medicine, all diseases are caused by poison. As long as the 'poison' is eliminated, the disease will be cured.

alright.

This theoretical understanding of ‘poison’ is fundamentally different from various current theories of traditional Chinese medicine.

Du Heng took a long breath.

Reading ten books is really not as good as seeing the operation in person; reading ten books is really not as good as listening to a word from an expert.

It really complies with the old saying: a true message is a sentence, but a false message is thousands of books.

As Du Heng's mind cleared up and he sorted things out, his profound knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine was immediately revealed.

After his eyes flickered for a few times, he said with a hint of excitement, "Doctor Lou, according to the principles you mentioned, I think the theory in Gua Sha can also work.

I can use a scraping board, or a smaller object with rounded edges, to lightly scrape the patient’s palms or soles, which should achieve the same effect.”

Lou Guozhang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I am just a college student. Although I studied Chinese medicine when I was in school, I really didn't learn anything. I just wanted to get a diploma.
