Rural Chinese Medicine Li Maoyang

Chapter 31 Etiology and Pathogenesis of Intractable Asthma

Perhaps the healing of a pig brought some luck to Li Maoyang, and someone came to see Li Maoyang again. It was an old Mongolian man named Na Rentai from Qunan Village.

Narentai Mongolian means eighty, and the intention of this name is obviously to wish for a long life.

Na Rentai is over 50 years old and has suffered from asthma for more than ten years. She went to the hospital to see several doctors for treatment but could not get rid of the root cause, and she would attack every spring.

"I heard from Xiaorong that your medical skills are really good, so I came to see you, and hope the effect will be better." The old man Rentai said out of breath.

Introduced by Yan Xiaorong?
That guy didn't come back for a follow-up visit after taking the medicine. It seemed that he was really cured, but this time he even introduced a patient to him?It can be considered caring.

Li Maoyang thought so in his heart, poured a glass of water for the old man Rentai, and began to observe the patient carefully.

The lungs rule the skin and hair, and people with lung problems will mostly show it on the skin.

The complexion of that old benevolent old man is dark and rough, not the healthy and lustrous dark and rough that is exposed to the wind and sun, but the dull, rough and dull complexion with a sick look.

Now that Li Maoyang has been seeing a doctor, he can finally distinguish these two expressions clearly.

In addition, this Narenta's nostrils are a little dilated, there are bloodshot eyes, and the color between her eyebrows is also a little black.

These are all manifestations of lung problems.

Hearing the old man's words, he was panting, and there was a faint wheezing sound coming from his chest. This breathing was quite strenuous.

"Uncle, what kind of medicine do you usually take to control it?" Li Maoyang began to ask a doctor.

Now he puts face-to-face diagnosis, auscultatory diagnosis and interrogation together, and tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis at the end, as the final diagnosis basis.

"Aminophylline and some hormonal drugs." Na Rentai said.

Li Maoyang sighed in his heart, now Western medicine and medicine are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the old Mongolian man in this village can give the name of western medicine casually, and he also knows which medicines he is taking are hormone medicines.

However, with the popularization of western medicine and western medicine, most people also know that western medicine should not be taken frequently. Treating the root cause is essentially a kind of therapy that cares about the head and disregards the body, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Therefore, most people with a clear mind, after using Western medicine to control the disease, then seek Chinese medicine to slowly adjust and cure the root cause.

The luckiest thing in our country is that there are two kinds of medicine to choose from, which complement each other.

After a series of consultations, Li Maoyang wrote down a series of symptoms of the old man Rentai in his notebook. The main problem was fatigue, shortness of breath, sweating easily, and being very prone to colds.

Fatigue is physical weakness. There are both blood deficiency and qi deficiency. Insufficient qi and blood are like a car running out of fuel. Naturally, there is no energy.

I usually sweat easily. This is because yang deficiency cannot control yin, and yang qi cannot control body fluid, so it is easy for body fluid to leak out and become sweat.

This is also the reason why people are prone to catch a cold. There is a layer of Wei Qi (yang energy on the body surface) and ying fluid (body fluid on the body surface) on the surface of the human body. These are two layers of barriers to protect the human body. If the two levels of checkpoints are weak, it will be easy for wind and cold and other diseases to invade, and people will naturally catch a cold easily.

The more specific reason is that the defense qi is deficient, and the nutrient fluid cannot be solidified, so the interstitial meridians (frontier defense) are wide open, and diseases and evils invade from time to time.

The lungs govern the skin and fur, and the protective qi is mainly managed by the lungs. At the same time, the lungs govern the joints. The nutrient fluid is mainly distributed to the body surface by the lungs. Therefore, the lack of strength of the frontier defense forces is mainly due to the Lung.

The relationship between the two layers of frontier barriers, the lungs and the protective qi and nutrient fluid on the surface of the human body, is so close.

Therefore, it can also be seen from the weak border defense that there is a problem with the lungs.

The old man Rentai is prone to sweating and catching a cold easily, the frontier defense is not strong!
So there must be something wrong with his lungs!

Shortness of breath, doesn't that mean there is a problem with the lungs?

Then why are you short of breath?
On the one hand, the lack of Yang Qi is not enough, on the other hand, is there any obstacle in the circulation of breath in the lungs?
Why is the breath circulation obstructed?

Phlegm and dampness block the meridians of the lungs!

Like the old man Rentai who has had asthma for more than ten years, there must be old phlegm in the lung meridians!
That kind of extremely viscous, extremely stubborn old phlegm!

The accumulated phlegm hides deep in the meridians of the lungs. When the air flow passes through these meridians, it is as if the road is blocked by a big rock. Wouldn't it force the meridians of the lungs to swell up, forming an explosive roaring effect? !
Those wheezing sounds are the explosion-like roars coming from the lung meridians!
However, in spring, it is windy, and the wind invades the lung meridians, making the air flow in the lung meridians several times or more than usual, which makes the lung meridians often swell and explode!
Therefore, in order to cure the root cause, these accumulated phlegm must be dissolved and then cleaned up.At the same time, try not to let more phlegm in the body!
The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lungs are the storage device for phlegm. It is necessary to control the spleen, so that the spleen can work in a healthy manner, transport and transform all the water and microscopic substances ingested by the human body into qi and blood, so that there is little waste water, so that the waste water will not It will be wet and gather into drink, and drink will condense into phlegm!
Li Maoyang still understands this set of medical principles.

The key is how to clean up the accumulated old phlegm in the lung meridians and how to invigorate the spleen. There is too much knowledge in it, which involves both medical theory and pharmacology. It is complicated, profound and subtle, and he cannot do it for a beginner!

So let the Qihuang system come to help.

After face-to-face consultation, auscultation and interrogation, Li Maoyang began to conduct tongue examination for Mrs. Na Ren.

"Uncle, stick out your tongue and let me have a look." Li Maoyang said.

Naren stuck out his tongue in cooperation.

Li Maoyang carefully observed and distinguished for a while, and completed the diagnosis by combining face and tongue diagnosis, and reported to the system: "The conclusion of the inspection is that the patient Na Rentai's face is dark and rough, dull and dull, and his tongue is fat and pale. The tongue coating is thin and white, which is a sign of qi deficiency, spleen dampness, and phlegm accumulation in the lungs, and the surface is empty and not solid."

"The host's inspection and diagnosis conclusion is basically correct, and the reward will be deduced once!" The system's mechanical voice said, "Combined with the host's reward for prescribing medicine on behalf of the system, may I ask the host to combine the two rewards into one?" Experience the etiology and pathogenesis rewards of two symbiotic diseases?"

"Couple!" Li Maoyang said without hesitation.

Last time he experienced dampness in rheumatoid arthritis, but he hasn't experienced wind and cold yet.

This is very helpful for him to deeply understand the disease of rheumatoid arthritis, and he must experience it again.

As for the big reward given by the system to experience the two symbiotic diseases this time, this is probably because the reward for prescribing medicine is itself a heavyweight reward.

Well, this time, I should be able to experience wind and cold numbness at once!
As for whether he can get the system to prescribe medicine on his behalf this time, and avoid making mistakes in prescribing medicine for Na Rentai, it depends on his report below!
