Chapter 32: Needle
After listening to Fang Yan's words, Director Luo showed an interesting expression and asked:
"Then what exactly do you plan to do?"
After thinking for a while, Fang Yan said:
"Use acupuncture to relieve diarrhea, and use Bao (Yinchan) needles to prick Dazhu, Yunmen, and Zhongfu acupoints to release the heat evil in the chest. If you still hiccup after the heat evil is released, use a needle to prick the hiccup point. .”
The method of using the trowel needle is to make superficial cuts in the skin along the direction of the meridians to bleed. The length of the scratches is about 1cm. It is rarely used on weekdays.
The hiccup point is the midpoint of the second interphalangeal joint of the middle finger on the back of the hand. If the hiccup is not related to heat evil, then acupuncture will be done here.
Director Luo frowned slightly when he heard this:
"Acupuncture? You're talking about the ancient nine-needle needle. Do you still have such a thing here?"
Fang Yan nodded, glanced at Mr. Lu, and then took out the box of needles he carried with him:
"Master passed me a set of ancient acupuncture, which I can use today."
Director Luo obviously has some research on this aspect and said:
"Oh? Then this is different from the usual acupuncture."
Fang Yan nodded and said:
"It is recorded in "Lingshu. Nine Acupuncture Theory": For acupuncture, use the scarf needle, remove the last inch and a half, sharpen it, and make it one inch and six minutes long. The main heat is in the head and body."
This means that this kind of needle is mainly used for shallow puncture bleeding and the treatment of head and body fever and skin diseases.
"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon also records the use of nine needles. To pierce carbuncles, use beryllium needles; to pierce large ones, use sharp needles; to pierce small ones, use round sharp needles; to pierce heat, use trowel needles; to pierce cold, use Filiform needle also.”
"Use trowel needles for heat evil, and the results will be quick." Dialects say it eloquently. Most of the current silver needles use filiform needles, and few people learn how to use the ancient nine needles.
When Feng Yan studied Chinese medicine, he learned the new nine needles. However, due to the development of the Internet in later generations, he also learned how to use the old nine needles shared by others, so he used it. This time, with the blessing of the system, there is no problem in using it.
During clinical acupuncture in previous lives, most of them used filiform needles, usually 0.35*40 and 0.35*70, and sharp needles, 1.2 diameter*1.8 inches, and 1.0 diameter*1.6 inches. Other needles are rarely used, but in movies and novels, most of them use filiform needles, and other needles are rarely introduced.
Even Lu Donghua was very satisfied at this moment. He gave Fang Yan a set of needles. The boy immediately took them out and used them today, and he used them in front of the leaders. Although it was a bit suspicious of showing off his skills, there is nothing better than this. Thing?
Who doesn’t want the gifts they give to be valued?
Mr. Lu is looking at Fang Yan more and more pleasing to his eyes now. This apprentice has been accepted well, and he feels like he is comforted by his elders.
Fang Yan gave him a big surprise in both his medical skills and martial arts.
Director Luo thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Donghua aside, wanting to see if Lu Donghua had any ideas.
Lu Donghua waved his hand:
"If you have no problem with it, Director Luo, of course I have no problem with it either."
Director Luo, who heard this, said:
"Okay, I have no problem. You can continue with Fang Yan."
Fang Yan nodded, then took out the acupuncture needle and explained to the patient the method he would use later. Some of the methods of using Gujiu Acupuncture had a great visual impact. If the patient did not cooperate, Fang Yan and the others would not be able to treat him.
But this young man was fine. Hearing that it was just shallow incisions on the acupuncture points along the meridians and bleeding, he only had one request, as long as he could be cured.
It seemed that the speech in the afternoon was very important to him.
Fang Yan got up and invited the patient to the back hall. There were leaders here today, so Jia Dapeng didn't need to be called out at all. He made the bed himself, prepared a set of alcohol disinfectants and waited aside.
When the patient took off his clothes and lay down, Fang Yan turned his head and greeted Kong Yao in the crowd:
"By the way, Kong Yao, go and cut the watermelon I put on the clinic table. Everyone happens to be here, so we can share it and eat it together."
After speaking, he pointed to the patient lying on the bed:
"Remember to leave a piece for this comrade."
Kong Yao nodded when he heard this:
"Okay!"
The young man lying on the bed was stunned:
"Do I still have a share?" Fang Yan said with a smile:
"You have a share, and if you have this disease, you might as well eat some watermelon. Watermelon is cold in nature. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it Tiansheng Baihu Decoction, which is effective against heat evil."
"Really?...Hiccup!" The young man burped and was a little surprised at the same time. Did he not expect that watermelon can also be used as medicine?
At this time, others were startled when they heard Fang Yan's words. Most of them didn't believe it. However, Mr. Lu nodded happily after thinking about it for a while. Director Luo looked like he suddenly understood.
Fang Yan looked at the patient's disbelief and said:
"You'll find out after eating a piece of it later."
After that, he took out the arrow-like needle and said to the patient:
"Okay, lie down, this is a little painful, bear with it."
The patient was strong but had a nonchalant look on his face. He patted his chest and asked Fang Yan to just greet him.
Fang Yan held the needle like a pen, pointed at the acupuncture points, and asked Jia Dapeng, who was a little stunned, to disinfect it. Jia Dapeng was shocked by the shape of the needle in Fang Yan's hand. He thought it was going to be inserted into the flesh, and thought to himself If it looks like an arrow piercing it, is that okay?
He was so stunned that he forgot to do something. He only came back to his senses after being reminded by the dialect.
Quickly disinfect the skin of Dialect Finger with alcohol.
After the disinfection work was completed, Fang Yan started his own operation. The needle was used more like a scalpel. However, this scalpel does not need to completely cut the skin, it only needs to cut and bleed. The only difficulty is to find the correct acupoint. , and then figure out the direction of the meridians.
Fang Yan scratched the needle, and blood immediately bulged out from the incision on the acupuncture point.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There is a clear difference between this blood and normal blood. Normal people's blood is bright red, but the blood that comes out is black and red, which looks abnormal at first glance.
"How do you feel? Does it hurt?" Fang Yan asked the patient.
The patient said:
"It doesn't hurt very much, and my whole body seems to be a little more relaxed."
Fang Yan nodded, continued his steps, and asked Jia Dapeng not to let the blood flow to other places. Director Luo came up to take a look at the black blood, nodded and whispered:
"The technique is very accurate."
Fang Yan smiled at him and had already drawn the same black blood on the second acupuncture point.
Following the same pattern, Fang Yan bled all three acupuncture points.
"How do you feel now?" Fang Yan asked the patient.
The patient was lying on the bed. He patted his chest and responded:
"I feel better, not so uncomfortable."
After that, he added:
"I don't seem to want to hiccup anymore."
Fang Yan nodded and started to treat the wounds on his skin. At this time, Kong Yao, who had cut the watermelons, also came and gave watermelons to everyone. Fortunately, there were not many people here today, and the watermelons were big enough for everyone. You can all get a chunk of it.
The patients lying on the bed were given special attention, and the largest ones were allocated.
He was not polite and ate big mouthfuls without spitting out the watermelon seeds. After eating, he touched his throat and said with some surprise:
"Hey, it's true, my throat feels better, it's not dry anymore, and it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Director Luo on the side reminded at this time:
"Also, you don't hiccup anymore!"
The young man was startled and remembered that he really didn't hiccup like before. His eyes lit up and he said:
"Yes! I...I seem to be really well!"
