There are only the last two days left before the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital officially opens to the public.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Secretary Yan drove over to pick up Qin Fan and Phoenix Girl.
The car drove forward and soon left the bustling urban area.
"Mr. Qin, I will try again. If it doesn't work, I will have to give up." Secretary Yan said.
He really had no choice. This Su Yuanju almost refused to take in food, salt, or both soft and hard food.
Qin Fan smiled and said: "Let's go take a look first. I have found out about his situation from my friends."
"In the long run, Su Yuanju is really the best candidate at the moment."
Secretary Yan naturally understands this, but he also has work and cannot continue to waste time on Su Yuanju.
"Oh, try your best." Secretary Yan smiled bitterly.
Qin Fan rented this place in Yuzai Bay once.
Secretary Yan was familiar with the road and turned east and west to enter a very remote fishing village.
There are about twenty or thirty families here. They are fishermen who make a living by fishing. They gather together and slowly form a small fishing village.
There are also huge fishing nets hanging out in many houses.
Secretary Yan found an open space and parked the car. Qin Fan opened the door and was greeted by an unpleasant fish smell.
The village was very quiet, with only a few children playing.
"We're here. I haven't seen the car yet. I guess someone came here to seek medical advice."
Secretary Yan pointed to a low house in the distance.
"Let's go, let's go directly." Qin Fan said.
He walked towards the house first.
Sure enough, there was a wooden board erected in front of the house, with a Chinese medicine formula written in paint on it.
The handwriting is very neat. Although it is a little old, it is still very clear.
Qin Fan stopped in front of the wooden board and did not continue walking inside.
Secretary Yan and Phoenix Girl both stopped and waited.
The formula on the wooden board is indeed an incomplete prescription.
Five qian for fennel, seven qian for black aconite, and seven qian for galangal,...one liang, note, the top four flavors are roasted with...
Five qian each for licorice, neem, and cloves, one qian each for agarwood and cohosh, two qian for Bupleurum,... yellow salt, three qian for whole scorpion, etc.
Mainly used to treat epilepsy, hernia, leucorrhea, and athlete's foot.
Whoever can complete the task will be rewarded heavily.
Next to the wooden sign, there is a blank board, a bottle of ink, and a writing brush.
Qin Fan couldn't help but laugh.
The strange doctor's way of doing things is really different.
Since this is Su Yuanju's request, and no one has fulfilled it for decades.
It can be seen that Su Yuanju attaches great importance to this ancient prescription and wants to open a breakthrough. Maybe this is an opportunity.
Qin Fan pondered and thought.
When he arrived, everyone in the room had already noticed him, but Qin Fan came with Secretary Yan.
The master didn't like Secretary Yan, so he didn't come out.
Still talking to the people who came to seek medical treatment, I used the corner of my eyes to pay attention to the scene outside the door.
Qin Fan thought about it for about twenty minutes.
He opened the ink bottle, filled it with ink with a brush and prepared to complete the prescription.
The owner of the house looked surprised when he saw Qin Fan picking up a pen to write.
This is another person trying to fill the prescription for several years.
He stood up immediately.
He interrupted the man in front of him and walked quickly behind Qin Fan.
Qin Fan had already written to complete the first part. He wrote, Angelica sinensis one liang.
Then, the second part is completed, and the medicine is boiled with high-quality glutinous rice wine until the wine is gone, and then dried.
In the third place, I wrote down, stir-fried with yellow salt.
The owner of the house bowed his waist and leaned in front of the wooden board, looking back and forth without saying a word.
Only then did Qin Fan notice the person coming, and he began to look at the person. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but smile.
The owner of this house actually has a relationship with him.
He was a middle-aged weirdo who used acupuncture and bloodletting to reduce fever on the subway.
He thought to himself: "It turns out he is Su Yuanju. I didn't expect to meet him here."
Su Yuanju read what Qin Fan wrote several times.
He straightened up, still smiling.
However, he didn't notice Qin Fan at all on the subway, so he didn't know that he had met Qin Fan.
"Excuse me, little friend, why is it Angelica one liang?"
Qin Fan smiled.
"Mr. Su, although this prescription has three defects, the main body has not been lost, and the main treatment direction has been clearly pointed out."
"So, what are the typical clinical manifestations of this type of patient?"
Su Yuanju thought for a while.
"The lower abdomen is cold. Even if you sit on the fire bed or wear thick cotton clothes, you will still feel cold. Your face will look pale, you may not stop urinating, or you may have persistent vaginal discharge."
"My body is as heavy as a mountain. I lean on my side when walking, unable to rest on the ground. My legs and knees are thin and thin, and it is difficult to hold stool..."
Su Yuanju described all possible clinical situations one by one.
In fact, this is a commonly used method of proof by contradiction, which is to deduce the contents of the prescription from clinical manifestations.
Qin Fan nodded and said: "Let's put it another way, this prescription is mainly used for cold and pain in the lower abdomen."
"It is mainly used for symptoms of blood stasis and qi stagnation, cold coagulation and hernia. Judging from the composition of the prescription, it is intended to achieve the effects of warming yang and dispersing cold, activating blood circulation and relieving pain."
"So, I think Angelicae Sinensis is the first choice. Angelicae Sinensis is a holy product for nourishing blood. It is warm in nature and sweet and pungent in taste."
"The biggest effect is to nourish blood and activate blood circulation, regulate menstruation and relieve pain, and moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation."
Su Yuanju's eyebrows raised. He neither objected nor agreed to Qin Fan's use of Angelica sinensis to complete the first part.
He had thought about this medicine before, but always felt it was lacking.
He continued to ask: "I dare to ask my little friend, why is glutinous rice wine used to cook medicine? Instead of water?"
Indeed, water is generally used for decoction.
Even the use of water to decoct medicine has been paid attention to from ancient times to the present.
Nowadays, many traditional Chinese medicines have poor effects after decoction. In fact, this has a lot to do with the water and utensils used for decoction.
Generally speaking, the water for decoction should be clean, fresh and flowing.
Avoid using water that has been boiled repeatedly or water that has been left overnight to cook Chinese medicine.
The medicinal materials for decoction must also be arranged in order. If they are flowers and herbs, they need to be soaked in advance, etc.
Using wine to decoct medicine is also a method in ancient Chinese medicine.
This wine is also very particular, it is not beer, red wine, or various foreign wines.
Qin Fan showed a gentle smile.
"As the saying goes, medicines have yin and yang, and medicines have five flavors. Different medicines have different diseases, and the method of decoction has an important impact on the properties of the medicine."
"For this prescription, if you use glutinous rice wine to cook the medicine, you can use the wine to promote qi and blood, unblock and harmonize, help the medicine work, and relieve arthralgia and relieve yang."
"In addition, wine is also a good solvent. Using wine to cook medicine can maximize the dissolution of the active ingredients in the prescription."
"We are using glutinous rice wine as an introduction to medicine to blend its medicinal properties."
"In comparison, the effect will be better than boiling it with water."
"Oh~"
Su Yuanju looked suddenly enlightened and fell into deep thought.
Because in common sense, water is used to cook medicine.
Even when medicinal materials are put into wine, they are mainly soaked, and it is rare to think of using wine to decoct medicines.
But Qin Fan suggested using glutinous rice wine to cook medicine, which completely made up for what he felt was lacking.
He couldn't help but secretly admire him, and continued to ask: "What about fried yellow salt?"
Qin Fan said with a smile: "In this prescription, black aconite, galangal, fennel, clove, and licorice are all used to warm the body and dispel cold, so fried yellow salt is the best medicine."
Indeed, yellow salt and fried yellow salt are just one word difference, but they cannot be generalized.
The so-called yellow salt is potassium iodate added to table salt. When it encounters reducing substances, an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs, producing yellow elemental iodine, which turns the table salt yellow.
Fried yellow salt refers to white table salt, which is stir-fried continuously in a pot until it turns yellow. It has the effect of dispersing cold and relieving pain.
Su Yuanju felt like he was enlightened. He pondered for a while and nodded repeatedly.
He felt that Qin Fan's answer satisfied him.
"My dear friend, may I ask what your last name is?" Su Yuanju asked.
"My name is Qin Fan, from Hong Kong Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital." Qin Fan replied with a smile.
"My name is Qin Fan?" Su Yuanju looked Qin Fan up and down with confusion on his face.
He had heard of the name Qin Fan, but that Qin Fan was from the mainland.
