After reading the record, Xu Guangling couldn't help but be speechless.
In the end, the owner of the wood chips had his door closed due to the earthquake. This is in line with the saying that if you sit in a closed room, disaster will come from the ground.
Suddenly, Xu Guangling thought about the situation in Changbai Mountain.
Changbai Mountain is a volcano. Well, it is in a dormant state now. When magma erupted from underground all the way up, causing the mountain to rise, it would definitely have created large and small gaps. Like the underground space he saw now, there would probably be more than one.
One, or even more than ten.
In other words, the underground of Changbai Mountain may even be a "honeycomb".
The big ones may be like this space, or they may be bigger, much larger; the small ones may be countless, and the smallest gap may be as big as a tea cup.
Although Changbai Mountain is now dormant, the magma underground is still active.
The earthly fire and warm water lakes he sees now are proof of this. The many hot spring sources outside are also proof.
Xu Guangling thought of his old place at the bottom of Tianchi Lake, where the heat source was also located. Thinking that the owner of the wood chips was sealed underground due to an earthquake, Xu Guangling suddenly felt absurd in his heart. Could it be that one day, he
I was sleeping at the bottom of Tianchi, and then suddenly, the volcano erupted...
Hmm, probably not?
Thinking about it this way, Xu Guangling felt a little confused.
Thinking that I have been sleeping in the crater of a volcano, sleeping in the middle of a big fire pot, I didn't feel much about it before, but now that I think about it, it's really sour and refreshing.
Thinking of Changbai Mountain from the space in front of him and the topography of Changbai Mountain, Xu Guangling felt that it seemed necessary for him to learn more about geology. If he were a geologist, he would definitely have more knowledge at this moment.
Discovery and inference.
Then, Xu Guangling's thoughts were still focused on ginseng.
After all, this is the key point of this unexpected discovery. Even Xu Guangling cannot turn a blind eye. At most, he is not so excited.
Although this is an external thing and of no use to him, it is useful to his two teachers, and of great use. If used properly, this can greatly help the two old people shorten the time required for the first stage of improvement.
time.
This has to start with the medicinal effects of ginseng.
Among the Chinese people, ginseng, especially Laoshan ginseng, is said to be very magical in many places. It is even said that ginseng can become a spirit after many years and become a "ginseng doll" that can walk and run. It is said that it is very vivid.
Returning from folklore to medical principles, is ginseng so magical?
I should say, half and half.
The ginseng doll and all that stuff must be nothing.
But the effects of ginseng, especially old ginseng, are indeed extraordinary.
If not for this, the ginseng in the Taihang Mountains would not have been exhausted so early.
In that era when medical skills were relatively backward and there were not many doctors, once the efficacy of ginseng was discovered, it would be a bit unreasonable for high-ranking officials and even wealthy families not to have one or two ginseng plants in their homes!
So, what are the functions of ginseng?
The earliest description of the efficacy of ginseng is in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". Of course, there was no pharmacopoeia handed down in China before this. This is the first one, and the Materia Medica says this about ginseng:
"Ginseng is sweet in taste and mainly nourishes the five internal organs, soothes the spirit, calms the soul, relieves panic and palpitations, removes evil spirits, improves eyesight, makes you happy, and improves intelligence. Long-term use can lighten the body and prolong life."
Regardless of the terminology, the records in the Materia Medica are relatively reliable in nature, which is different from the Compendium of Materia Medica.
When Mr. Zhang first told Xu Guangling about the Materia Medica, he said that this record may have come from the great master.
With the Shen Nong Jue in his possession, Xu Guangling could certainly understand these words as soon as he heard them. To put it simply, this book is very likely not the accumulation of experience in the long-term practice of medicine, but directly achieved overnight, written by a
The great master wrote it in a short period of time, and we do not even rule out the possibility of it being completed overnight.
What it relies on is not experience but experience, not indirect summary but direct insight.
Xu Guangling is inclined to believe in this conclusion, but so far, he has not tasted all the herbs involved in the Materia Medica, so he cannot make an absolute conclusion.
However, the description of ginseng is undoubtedly accurate.
"Ginseng tastes sweet", needless to say, even a three-year-old child can know this after tasting it.
"Torifying the five internal organs", after the sweet taste, this is the function description listed first. Most people, even ordinary doctors and pharmacists, may not have much feeling when they see these three words, but for walking through the five-color flowers,
For Xu Guangling, who has experienced a long journey, these three words are simply thrilling.
Thrilling!
Really, it's no exaggeration at all.
Natural herbs either have an effect on the liver, spleen, kidneys, or liver and kidneys... all of these are OK. But if they can have a positive effect on three of the five internal organs, it is enough.
It's quite remarkable.
Does it work for four? That’s one in a million.
Does it have an effect on all five internal organs?
Among the medicinal herbs that Xu Guangling is currently exposed to, whether it is what his teacher told him or what he has come across in Changbai Mountain during this period of time, there is one and only one: ginseng!
Only ginseng has a tonifying effect on the five internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys!
People with heart failure, weak heart, and congenital impairment of heart function development can consider ginseng. As for irregular heartbeats and the like, that is simply child's play.
Fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer can all consider ginseng.
If the spleen and stomach are weak, you can consider ginseng.
For all lung diseases, ginseng can be considered.
Needless to say, kidney deficiency is a specialty of ginseng.
This is "tonifying the five internal organs".
After nourishing the five internal organs, there is "calming the spirit, calming the soul, and stopping panic". These three terms need to be said together, and it is necessary to say them together.
Replenishing the five internal organs means replenishing the body.
But calming the mind, calming the soul, and stopping panic, it is to regulate the spirit.
Body and spirit go hand in hand!
Then, "get rid of evil spirits".
In addition to replenishing the body and mind, it can also make "righteousness remain within the body and evil cannot be eliminated"!
Then, "improve your eyesight, make you happy, and improve your intelligence."
A simple sentence to refresh your brain.
So here, the effects of ginseng can be summarized as follows:
It can replenish the five internal organs, nourish the brain, regulate the nerve center, greatly replenish the body's vitality, greatly enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and make people rejuvenate to a certain extent.
Exaggeration?
Judging from the description, it is quite exaggerated, extremely exaggerated.
But from a practical perspective...
this description.
One point, nothing, no exaggeration.
This is the real effect of old wild ginseng. The older it is, the greater the effect!
This is the reason why ginseng is called the king of materia medica and the king of herbs in the medical books of the past dynasties. This is why ginseng is so popular among the people. This is why ginseng in the Taihang Mountains has been dug up early.
!
"Those who want to try Shangdang ginseng should have two people walking together, one with the ginseng in it, and the other without, for about three to five miles. The one without ginseng will be out of breath; the one with the ginseng can breathe freely, and the ginseng is genuine.
.”
This is what a medical classic says.
Not to mention so many functions, this one is the easiest to verify. It is no wonder that this herb has been prized by countless middle and high-class families in ancient times.
