Chapter 106: The twenty-six thorns of the official needle
Sebaceous cysts are also called pink tumors in medicine.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are three types of tumors: hematoma, sarcoma, and muscle tumor.
The orthodox surgical texts have relatively clear explanations for these three tumors.
"Hematomas are slightly purplish and slightly red, mixed with soft and hard parts, and the skin is faint and tangled like red threads, and the blood flow is unstoppable due to scratches."
"Sarcomas are as soft as cotton, swollen like steamed buns, the skin color remains unchanged, and they are neither tight nor wide."
"The tendons are firm and purple in color, with green veins built up. If they are extremely twisted, they are knotted like earthworms."
Hematomas are equivalent to hemangioma, capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma, etc. in Western medicine.
Sarcomas include fibromas, lipomas, cysts and the like.
As for fibroids, the most typical one is varicose veins.
The tumor on Wang Kun's nose is undoubtedly a sarcoma in traditional Chinese medicine.
This thing keeps growing after it is cut. On the one hand, the inside of the body is not adjusted properly, and on the other hand, it is not cut cleanly when cutting, so it keeps recurring and cannot be eradicated.
The internal body of the body is well-regulated. Sarcoma is basically a syndrome of qi stagnation and phlegm coagulation. To put it simply, the qi is not flowing smoothly, and there is a problem with the function of the spleen and stomach, causing the body to produce phlegm, which then condenses and does not disperse.
Just add or subtract Huajianerchen Pills and Shiquanliuqiyin to regulate Wang Kun's internal condition.
Lu Jiu was able to prescribe medicine without any need for syndrome differentiation.
This is the benefit brought by clinical experience.
If there is something wrong with the nose, there is no doubt that there is something wrong with the spleen.
If he couldn't even come to this conclusion after physical examination, then Lu Jiu's medical skills would have been improved in vain these days.
Since there is a problem with the spleen, there must be insufficient transportation and transformation. Insufficient transportation and transformation will produce phlegm and dampness, and there are hard lumps in the nose. Naturally, the phlegm and dampness has condensed, and the Qi and pulse are blocked.
Erchen Wan can dissolve dampness and phlegm and relieve the spleen and stomach, while Liuqi Yin can remove toxins and reduce swelling. If the two are combined, the prescription will come out naturally.
Therefore, the only thing Lu Jiu has to deal with now is how to remove the lump on Wang Kun's nose.
Under the gazes of Fang Xuanqi and the others, Lu Jiu took out a filiform needle from his pocket, opened the disposable packaging, and began to approach Wang Kun.
As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Lu Jiu has become a daily habit of carrying needles with him.
"I'll use acupuncture to help you remove the lump first. Relax and try not to breathe irregularly."
This was not the first time that Wang Kun had seen a Chinese medicine doctor. He had also gone to a Chinese medicine hospital with a friend before, but the only real Chinese medicine doctor there prescribed him several courses of Chinese medicine, but it had no effect at all.
After that, he kind of wanted to give up.
Every time I wait for the lump to get bigger, I ask a colleague to perform an operation.
But basically one operation can only last for a month, and then it will grow again.
Originally, his image was just like that. The presence or absence of cysts would not cause any harm to his appearance, but it was annoying to look at.
Just like when he was in adolescence, he couldn't even sleep well if he didn't squeeze out the pimples on his face.
Seeing that Lu Jiu was going to treat him with acupuncture, Wang Kun felt a little uneasy inside.
I can't cut this cyst cleanly with a knife. Can such a small needle solve it?
Of course, doubts remain doubts, but Wang Kun remained silent.
Soon, Lu Jiu held the side of Wang Kun's face with one hand and inserted the needle straight into the center of the lump with the other.
When he reached the bottom of the hard lump, Lu Jiu began to twist it from side to side. Then he lifted the needle up and brought the tip of the needle to the surface of the skin where it was about to come out. Then he changed the direction and inserted it diagonally.
The needle was inserted at the edge of the lump, and when it was about to break through the skin, Lu Jiu controlled the needle firmly, and then, like before, twisting it left and right, he drew the top skin of the lump again. The surface will come out of nowhere.
This technique is called Bao Tac, which is one of the twenty-six pricks of Guan Acupuncture.
When targeting a lump, acupuncture requires constant pricking and withdrawing of the needle. Except for the first and last two needles, which need to be inserted straight to the bottom of the hard lump, eight needles are needed in the middle, and these eight needles correspond to eight position.
That is, east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest.
The difficulty of this technique lies in control, very precise control.
Because every time you insert a needle, you have to draw the needle to the surface of the skin, and then adjust the position to insert it. If the needle is shallow, it will have no effect, but if it is deep, it will pierce the skin.
Although the same is true for one needle penetrating two acupoints, it can penetrate forward slowly after all. The speed is far less fast than the puncture, and the number of punctures is not as many. Therefore, compared with one needle penetrating two acupoints, the puncture is more difficult.
Of course, in addition to the reported thorns, the quenching thorns among the twenty-six thorns of the official acupuncture, that is, the fire needle, can also treat this disease.
However, if you use quenching acupuncture, there is a certain chance of recurrence, while acupuncture can be eradicated, so Lu Jiu chose to use acupuncture for treatment at the first time.
Fang Xuanqi on the side saw Lu Jiu using a needle to draw the needle back and forth on the lump on Wang Kun's nose, his eyes were full of curiosity.
This was the first time he saw acupuncture used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases, and it felt particularly fresh.
However, the feeling of needles pricking his body made Fang Xuanqi a little confused.
Doesn't it hurt?
Soon, Lu Jiu finished the injection. There is no need to keep the needle to report the sting. The needle can be withdrawn after the pricking.
"See if there are any changes." Lu Jiu brought over a mirror on the TV cabinet.
Wang Kun looked in the mirror and looked at his nose. Hey, the lump seemed to have gotten smaller. Although it wasn't much, the effect was too fast.
It was obvious that I just dug in a few times, but nothing was dug out at all. Why can the hard lump become smaller out of thin air?
don't know!
Wang Kun was really confused.
"Don't touch the water when you go back tonight. After a night's sleep, most of it should be gone when you wake up the next morning. With the help of Chinese medicine, it will be completely clear in two or three days," Lu Jiu said.
"Won't it grow longer in the future?" Wang Kun said.
"It definitely won't happen under normal circumstances. As long as you pay attention to your diet, stay up less late, try to channelize your emotions as much as possible, and don't hold things in your mind, it's basically unlikely to relapse." Lu Jiu said.
"I can pay attention to eating. Even staying up late, as you know, is basically not allowed in my profession." Wang Kun said with a wry smile.
"It's okay. It won't relapse just by staying up late. The most important thing is the emotional problem. The most feared thing about this disease is the blockage of air." Lu Jiu said.
"Emotions can still block Qi?" Wang Kun asked curiously.
"It's very simple. When you are angry, will your qi rush upward? This is a typical emotion that affects the direction of qi. If you are fine, just stretch your waist more often. This action can soothe the liver and regulate qi. Keep going and think It’s hard to relapse,” Lu Jiu said.
"I understand, thank you, Doctor Lu." Wang Kun remembered it firmly.
"You're welcome, you should. I'll write you a prescription. You go to the pharmacy to get the medicine yourself. You'll pay three times a day," Lu Jiu said.
After speaking, Lu Jiu wrote the prescription. After Wang Kun received the prescription, he was ready to give money, but Lu Jiu said that he would not accept anything. Even if Fang Xuanqi persuaded him, Lu Jiu insisted very much.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanqi also understood Lu Jiu's meaning, and then pulled Wang Kun to leave together.
When Liu Mei saw his son's performance, the smile on his face was even more strong.
Be a mother, who can refuse to have a son -in -law?
After sending the two of them, after Lu Jiu closed the door, he turned to see Liu Mei and stared at him with a smile.
"Mom, what do you laugh?"
Liu Meidao, "Nothing, just feel that you are getting more and more like your dad."
Lu Jiu couldn't laugh and laughed, "You said this, I don't look like a dad, eh? Shouldn't it say that I was picked up from the garbage dump when I was a child?"
Liu Mei's eyebrows were horizontal, "Is the skin itching?"
Seeing that it was not good, Lu Jiuqian ran away, and he rushed into his room very quickly.
Seeing this, Liu Mei pouted and laughed.
The interest is out of interest, but it is still a child!
