Chapter 1088 Cupping

Massage, needle, scraping, sha, and cupping are almost the four auxiliary health-preserving methods of traditional Chinese medicine in later generations. In the era when Western medicine was rising and falling, the four traditional Chinese medicine methods that have been used as auxiliary treatment methods have been more inherited and carried forward. These four magical oriental therapies that have been passed down for thousands of years have been spread to every corner of the earth.

Massage and needle acupuncture is a little complicated and requires a certain amount of basic skills and knowledge of acupuncture and veins. However, many rural people can do cupping and scraping themselves, and there are even some acupuncture and bloodletting treatments that are very common.

It is said that I have never eaten pork but seen pig run. Although Chen Xu has not systematically learned the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, he still learned a lot of Chinese medicine attributes and some simple Chinese medicine theories when he was a child. Later, he was with Xu Fu for a while, and then he received gentle guidance from Yu Wuya and Shui. He also began to have a systematic understanding of acupuncture points and tendons and veins. He also had thirteen needles in the Ghost Gate several times, but he could not be considered a novice.

There are jacuzzi foot shops everywhere on the streets of Houshi, and there are also many roadside massage shops with red lights.

Chen Xu didn’t know whether it was formal or not, but he had been to the big health care several times and experienced the difference between ninety-eight and ninety-eight. That is, he felt different when he stepped on his body, and his bones were crackling.

Of course, giving the emperor a Thai massage will definitely lead to be beheaded. No thief-bold doctor dares to climb on the emperor's back and step on it a few times, but there should be no big problem with massage with his hands.

In fact, what Chen Xu didn't know was that even if he used his hands to massage the emperor, no one in the world dared to do it except him.

As for acupuncture, no one dares to do it.

A group of imperial physicians treated the emperor, and the most common thing was to prescribe prescriptions and take medicine, and the emperor also believed that taking medicine was the safest.

In fact, taking medicine is the most unsafe.

It is a medicine with three parts poisonous, and a magical medicine like the Five Poisons Shuhun Water, which has an amazing effect, is even more toxic.

Because the emperor couldn't wait to experience cupping and scraping therapy, Chen Xu had to go home and prepare.

First of all, it is used for scraping. The horn slices used by the second grandfather used were actually a broken horn comb with a smooth back and it just didn't hurt the skin. As for the oil used for scraping, sesame oil is enough. Of course, the emperor likes the smell of perfume, so it's better to make some floral essential oils extravagant. Maybe the emperor will figure out how to cut off the huge harem for his health and to save more essential oils for himself.

As for the simplest cupping, it can be made of bamboo and wood. However, for tomorrow's teaching observation, Chen Xu asked a servant to go to the glass factory with the drawn drawings, and make a few of them for tomorrow's spare parts.

The next day, Chen Xu got up early to go to court and found that the emperor's complexion seemed to have improved a lot today. He always smiled and looked relaxed when dealing with government affairs. Occasionally, he would give Chen Xu a charming look, which made Chen Xu feel a little fur all over his body. The emperor and the Zuo Prime Minister secretly sent misses in the court, which also made many ministers who were careful to observe were confused.

At the end of Mao's hour, Chen Xu had no time to walk out of the court, and before he could do so, a palace servant couldn't wait to catch up to convey the invitation of the First Emperor. Chen Xu had to go to the carriage to carry a small wooden box over and follow the palace servant into the palace.

Many ministers who had already discovered that the relationship between Qinghe Hou and the First Emperor were standing outside the court hall, looking at Chen Xu who was entering the palace with a wooden box, and pointed at the discussions with whispers.

With yesterday's massage process, the emperor cooperated very smoothly today.

Chen Xu opened the wooden box and briefly introduced the cupping, alcohol lamp, horn scraper, etc., and when Du Gui and the two imperial doctors arrived, they asked the emperor to take off his shirt and lay on the kang again. He first demonstrated how to use the cupping. He put the lit alcohol balls inside and roasted them, and then quickly stuck to the back of the First Emperor, sucking more than ten from top to bottom. Then everyone saw that the flesh on the emperor's back was slowly sucked into the mouth of the glass bottle, and a large part of it was protruding out until it was slightly purple-red. After taking it off, the first emperor's back looked like a seven-star ladybug, and the two imperial doctors looked like purple-red round scars. The two imperial doctors were trembling all over their bodies. Chen Xu was also very satisfied. He was a human being in his two lives. He finally learned to cupping for the first time, and the subject was Qin, the emperor of the ages, which was worth bragging for several lifetimes.

After the cupping demonstration, Chen Xu demonstrated the scraping process with the emperor's legs and feet, applied some essential oil, and then gently scraped it with a horn scraper several times. When he saw a slight red blood spot on the skin, he stopped immediately, letting the two imperial doctors know what the roughly scraped.

"Your Majesty is restless and restless, because of liver and kidney deficiency. Therefore, you can scrape the liver and kidney meridians once or twice a month, but remember not to use too much force, as long as you cannot scratch the skin. Moreover, the scraper must be wiped clean and disinfected with alcohol every time you use it..."

After instructing the two imperial doctors, Chen Xu carefully reminded the First Emperor to keep clothes warm and not to take a bath, so as not to be infected by bacteria from the wound.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty for a doctor to assist in doing some medical research on weekdays!" After everything was over, Chen Xu began to dig out the foot of the founding emperor before leaving.

"Your best say that, as long as you think is useful in this palace, you can take it away!" The First Emperor, who was dressed, put on his clothes, put his sleeves in a generous manner and agreed.

"I have received recommendation from Doctor Xu. I have an imperial physician Fang Sheng from the Imperial Medical Department who is proficient in diagnosing difficult and complicated diseases. I want Doctor Fang to help!" Chen Xu bowed.

"It turns out to be the Imperial Doctor Fang. I know that he was recommended by Imperial Doctor Xu. His medical skills are indeed very good. Since my beloved is useful, I will let him leave the palace with you, but you can still be called an imperial doctor. No matter what new medical skills you have developed, I can enjoy it, haha!"

An hour later, Chen Xu came out of the palace, followed by a middle-aged imperial physician.

"Mr. Marquis, your cupping and scraping therapy is really amazing. Your Majesty looks very useful!" Fang Sheng said excitedly as he walked.

"Treatment of internal diseases without acupuncture and medicine is a good physiotherapy method. It is a good physiotherapy method. It is supplemented with massage and dietary conditioning on weekdays. Your Majesty's body should slowly get better. After our hospital is opened, you should study more treatment methods that are different from decoctions, and then summarize your experience and write them into medical books, spread these simple and effective treatment methods, so that everyone in the world can benefit!"

"Don't worry, the Neijing says: The master of the corpse has not cured the disease before it is cured, which means that this is what it means. Sheng also likes to study the prevention methods of some difficult and complicated diseases, but there are no more methods except for the decoction and acupuncture. This time, the corpse of the Marquis has invented the methods of scraping and cupping, which has given Sheng a lot of inspiration!" Fang Sheng nodded repeatedly.

"These two methods are the same as massage. They are auxiliary treatments for clearing the meridians. They can relieve sub-health symptoms of physical discomfort very well. But when I get sick, I mainly rely on decoctions. I ask the housekeeper to prepare for the hospital affairs, and your task is to help me gather people with excellent medical skills everywhere. Well... it's okay to go to the health center to poach. In short, I am only responsible for spending money to prepare. You have to do all the doctors and nurses yourself!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, there are many people who know each other in the Imperial Hospital and the Health Center. There are also many people with good medical skills in the people, but most of them have bad tempers..."

"A bad temper means that I have real skills, but I am a marquis who treat all kinds of dissatisfaction. I told them that as long as I am willing to come to my hospital to work and take a medical treatment, I can let him study medical skills. If I can really complete the treatment of a certain difficult and complicated disease in the future, I can even erect his statue in front of the library, so that future generations can worship it forever!"

"Hehe, there is a marquis saying this. I think they would squeeze into the marquis' hospital to work while crying. Those guys usually have their eyes on their heads. They don't care about us, but they will always hold their tails and listen to my commands in the future. Haha..." Doctor Fang, who had always looked righteous, actually let out a few night owl-like terrifying and low laughter, which made Chen Xu get goosebumps all over his body.

It seems that no one who is truly capable is a good bird. Fang Sheng looks serious and turns out to be a black-bellied guy, but that's fine. The hospital just needs a black-bellied guy to control the overall situation. The gentle leader can't help but suppress those guys with eyes on their heads.

In the next half month, Chen Xu spent most of his time in the construction of the library and the preparation of the hospital, except for arranging the guards and servants to go back to his hometown to bring his father, mother and others to Xianyang for reunion.

The preparation of the hospital is relatively simple. Just ask someone to go to the Neishi Mansion to check it out and see where there are vacant or abandoned houses in Xianyang City. Then buy a simple renovation and then start business. At the same time, he asked the housekeeper to buy a piece of land of about 200 acres on the south bank of the Wei River, and asked the Academy of Sciences to design a five-story outpatient building and inpatient department, as well as ancillary facilities such as pharmacies and stables. Then he threw it to a group of craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences to build it. When the official medical facilities could not meet the requirements of the people, opening a private hospital is also a good supplement. The main purpose of this hospital is to serve civilians.

The construction of a library is much more complicated because it is a great project that wins the hearts of scholars all over the world. Therefore, it is necessary to design and plan carefully and strive to build it into a national standard building that will be passed down through centuries and will last forever.
