The dosage of the prescription is derived from Hetu Luoshu...

etc!

Lu Jiu suddenly remembered a passage from the Suwen·Jinguizhenyan chapter of the Huangdi Neijing.

"The green color in the east enters the liver, opens up to the eyes, and stores essence in the liver... Its sound horns, which number eight, are used to know that the disease is in the tendons, and it smells bad. The red color in the south enters the heart, and opens up in the liver. The ear stores essence in the heart... Its sound sign, its number is seven, its smell is burnt. The center is yellow, it enters the spleen, opens into the mouth, and stores essence in the spleen... Its sound palace, its number is five, its smell and fragrance. White in the west, it enters the lungs, opens up in the nose, stores essence in the lungs... Its sound quotient, its number is nine, and it smells fishy. Black in the north, enters the kidneys, opens up in the two yins, stores essence in the kidneys... Yin Yu, its number is six, its smell is rotten."

It seems like there are really numbers.

Lu Jiu had never understood why there were words like "the number eight" and "the number seven" in this article before. Now that the old man said it, he suddenly realized that these words were not meaningless.

"Based on it? It's hard for me to explain it to you since you haven't studied the Yi Jing. Let's talk about it later." The old man smiled.

Lu Jiu picked up Xiaobald, turned around and left, "I suddenly felt something. Let's go back and study it first."

The old man couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Jiu's galloping back.

There are some things that others tell you are not as profound as understanding them yourself.

But can Lu Jiu really realize it?

On the way home, Lu Jiu's mind kept thinking.

He used his mobile phone to search Hetu Luoshu and found that it was much simpler than he thought. It was just two pictures.

Moreover, Luoshu is a bit like a nine-square grid, any three numbers horizontally, vertically and diagonally add up to fifteen.

Isn't this the numbers game they played in elementary school?

Um?

Hetu seems to be different.

"The sky produces water, the earth produces sixty percent of it, the earth two produces fire, and the sky produces seventy percent of it. The third of the sky produces wood, and the earth produces eighty percent of it. The four of the earth produces gold, and the sky produces ninety percent of it. The fifth of the sky produces earth, and the earth produces ten percent of it."

According to the orientation and text description on the map, 38 is wood, in the east is liver, 49 is metal, in the west is lung, 16 is water, in the north is kidney, 27 is fire, and in South is the heart, fifty is earth, and in the center is the spleen.

It seems to really correspond to the statement in the Huangdi Neijing.

But what does this have to do with the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine?

Lu Jiu then wrote the prescription and dosage of White Tiger Ginseng Decoction on the paper.

Six liang of anemarrhena, one pound of gypsum, two liang of licorice, six liang of japonica rice, and three liang of ginseng.

Baihu Ginseng Decoction can clear away heat, replenish qi, and promote fluid production. It can treat the symptoms of thirst and constipation, which is similar to diabetes in modern medicine.

The thirst that goes up is more inclined to the heart and lungs that go up.

So Baihu Ginseng Decoction should mainly regulate the function of the lungs.

Among these five herbs, gypsum is the king of medicines in the prescription. According to the meridian distribution of nature and taste, it can be attributed to the lung meridian and stomach meridian. And based on the number of Hetu, one pound is sixteen taels, not nine. is a multiple of , but it is a multiple of four.

What about ministerial medicine?

The nature and flavor of Anemarrhena enter the lung, stomach, and kidney meridians. In this prescription, its function is to release fire and nourish yin, so six liang corresponds to the number of kidneys.

Coincidence?

As an adjuvant, ginseng can help eliminate the toxicity of the main medicine. Gypsum is a medicine for severe colds. Ginseng is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It enters the spleen and lung diameter. It can offset part of the cold nature.

But the number corresponding to three or two is obviously liver!

This direction is wrong!

This is definitely not how the dosage of the prescription is derived!

Lu Jiu pushed it for a long time and had no choice but to give up. However, this was a good research direction for him.

If we can really figure out how the dosage of each prescription comes from, we can not only optimize the addition and subtraction of prescriptions for patients, but also lay a solid foundation for creating our own prescriptions in the future.

Throughout the ages, those who have learned Chinese medicine and left a classic recipe for future generations are all contemporary masters.

If it can be done, it will not only be famous for generations, but also benefit future generations.

Lu Jiu didn't know whether his descendants could benefit him or not, but the attraction of being famous for a lifetime was too great.

Lu Jiu couldn't bear it.

Phew~

The level is still not enough!

Lu Jiu gave up thinking and closed his eyes to rest!

What he knows is still too superficial. Even with systematic help, he still has not touched the deeper theories of traditional Chinese medicine.

However, Lu Jiu was not in a hurry. He was only in his twenties and had plenty of time to spend with these ancient classics.

He doesn't believe it anymore. If he studies it for another twenty years, he still can't write a good recipe?

[Patient Du Ran, the recovery progress of intestinal carbuncle is 12%, and the recovery progress of symptoms is more than 10%. Normal rewards are activated. Do you want to claim it? 】

Pretty fast!

Lu Jiu stretched his waist.

He knew the power of Rhubarb Mudan Skin Decoction, and the cure would be no problem, but he had no idea about the recovery time. After all, this was the first time he saw a patient with appendicitis, and it might be the last time.

【receive】

[Reward obtained: Basic identification]

Well, the identification is okay!

This basic knowledge can help him deepen his understanding of the Huangdi Neijing and greatly improve his diagnostic level.

Lu Jiu originally thought that this was the reminder for today, but when he was about to go to bed at around ten o'clock, Du Ran's reminder came again.

[Patient Du Ran, the recovery progress of intestinal carbuncle is 51%, and the recovery progress of symptoms exceeds 50%. Activation skill reward, do you want to receive it? 】

This speed...

Lu Jiu was also a little surprised!

Emotional healing is so good!

No wonder an old Chinese medicine doctor in the university who taught them twice said that the appendicitis patients in the hospital didn’t need to be cut at all. Even if hundreds or thousands of appendicitis patients were handed over to him, he could treat them in one day.

They made a complete recovery.

What he talked about that day was rhubarb and peony bark soup.

It's just that this old Chinese medicine doctor never came to the school again after filling in for two classes. Later, I heard from some teachers that the old man seemed to have gone to work as a traveling doctor.

【receive】

[Reward: Gua Sha Luck Board]

Yo?

It’s not a skill of acupuncture?

Lu Jiu was a little surprised.

He thought it would be acupuncture this time, but it turned out to be scraping.

After receiving the reward, Lu Jiu also understood what Yunban meant.

In fact, just like the four techniques of twisting, turning, lifting and inserting in acupuncture, the board movement is divided into six techniques: hanging, loosening, releasing, pressing, turning and lifting. These six techniques are valuable in softness, specialness and effectiveness in guiding the board.

feel.

Why is it said that softness is the most important thing?

For example, if you use a gua sha board to scrape your legs, the outer side of the leg is the yang meridian and the inner side is the yin meridian. When scraping, you can scrape the yang meridian more heavily and scrape the yin meridian lighter.

After scraping the vaginal menstruation, within a few minutes, the skin of the legs in the vaginal menstrual area will begin to turn red, and in half an hour there will be subcutaneous bleeding.

At this time, the skin will be injured and the righteousness will be further damaged. This will not only fail to achieve the curative effect, but will also be detrimental to the recovery of the disease.

Therefore, Gua Sha pays attention to three-point penetration, gentle technique and thorough force. If it is gentle, it will have no effect, and if it is severe, it will hurt the body.

With this skill of board manipulation, coupled with the basic scraping skills he had acquired previously, Lu Jiu also had some new methods for treating some diseases that could not be treated with acupuncture and medicine.

For example, some fitness enthusiasts strain their muscles by lifting heavy weights, and scraping can have a good recovery effect. There are also some people who often type on keyboards and suffer from tenosynovitis, scraping is also very useful.

Probably, and...
