Chapter 796

"This is... Cupping?" After all, Xu Nan is a Chinese, and he knows the artifact of cupping.

"Well, if you want to promote the discharge of congestion, cupping is the best choice." Traditional Chinese medicine is such a magic thing. Sometimes it seems that some tools are not very impressive, but they can play a great role.

"Do you want to do it now?" Xu Nan looks at Yang Xiaotian and asks.

"I've just given him acupuncture, and now the vein is not completely smooth. I'll do it in two hours." Having said that, Yang Xiaotian immediately fell on the bed next to him and told Xu Nan. After two hours, he called him and fell into a deep sleep.

Even though he is more skilled in Liuyun needling, it's easier to use it. But after all, this needling is really amazing. Yang Xiaotian is still a novice. Even though he has become a legend in Stanford medical school, he still can't change the fact that there is a big gap between him and Yang Songming in traditional Chinese medicine.

When I woke up again, it was already three hours later. Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was sleeping soundly, Xu Nan didn't have the heart to call him. However, there are things not to do, Yang Xiaotian also sleep after all is not solid. Of course, what's more important is that Yang Xiaotian has made a lot of progress now. It's much better than that after he gave the needle to his father, he just fell asleep.

"Are these little things so effective?" When Yang Xiaotian is playing with cupping, Xu Nan doesn't believe it. After all, compared with all kinds of machinery of Western medicine, the tools of traditional Chinese medicine are really poor.

Cupping therapy, also known as "Jiao Fa", is a kind of physical therapy just like acupuncture, and cupping is one of the best physical therapies. Cupping has been popular among Chinese people for a long time. It is a unique method of treating diseases, commonly known as cupping and suction tube. At first, it was not a pot, but a horn tube with a small hole was used to cover the affected part to drain pus and blood. Later, the horn tube was gradually replaced by bamboo pot, pottery pot and glass pot Yang xiaotianbian explains the history of cupping and its initial effect.

Cupping really looks very simple, but its effect is very good. And the initial effect is to suck the pus blood from the patient's wound. At this time, it is not difficult to suck the congestion in Uncle Wen's body.

"Bring some wipes." After the cupping is finished, Yang Xiaotian starts to take off the clothes on Uncle Wen. Before fiddling with cupping, the steel needle on Uncle Wen's body had been taken down by Yang Xiaotian. At this time, uncle Wen can do cupping.

"Yes." Xu Nan nodded.

"Why are you undressing him?" Caroline ska has heard about Chinese medicine, but just like most people in the world treat Chinese medicine, she still can't believe that with just a few pots, she can cure the old wound on Uncle Wen!

Uncle Wen's body, Karolinska has also checked, and she has the data report of Uncle Wen's body in her hand. To use a word to describe, it is terminally ill!

"Brother Xiaotian, wipes." While talking, Xu Nan has come in with a large stack of wipes.

"Although uncle Wen has been cleaned, he still needs to be disinfected. Unfortunately, there are not enough tools here. Generally speaking, moxibustion is better after acupuncture. The mechanism of action of moxibustion is similar to acupuncture therapy, and it has complementary therapeutic effects with acupuncture therapy. Usually, acupuncture and moxibustion are used together, which is called acupuncture. " Yang Xiaotian explained.

"So." Xu Nan suddenly realized the truth.

"Unfortunately, Chinese civilization has a long history. Many things have been lost like this." Yang Xiaotian sighed. Now western medicine is very popular in the world. Although many people know Chinese medicine, few are willing to learn it.

After all, western medicine has gradually developed into a relatively mature discipline because of seeking common ground while reserving differences and academic exchanges among famous doctors. Because of the limitation of traditional Chinese medicine, many famous doctors choose family inheritance, which leads to the situation of making cars behind closed doors.

Although there are also many medical books of traditional Chinese medicine handed down in the world, compared with the number of Western medical books that have been published, it is a little pitiful.

What's more, traditional Chinese medicine needs more time and energy than western medicine. Western medicine is easy to start with, and there are more detailed system to guide the teaching philosophy. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, basically relies on experience.

"Xiao Nan, I'll try my best to help Uncle Wen again these days, but once there's something I can't come back, it's up to you to pull out the cupping pot for uncle Wen." Yang Xiaotian takes a cupping pot and says to Xu Nan“ OK, I'll show you first. Today I'll draw a map of acupoint distribution of human body for you. If you remember these acupoint distribution well, cupping is enough. "

"Yes." Xu Nan nodded heavily.

"The method of cupping is simple, but it is also very particular. If the method is not correct, it will not cure the disease, on the contrary, it will aggravate the disease." Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotian's tone is more serious“ There are some things that need to be paid attention to before cupping. You should remember what I'm going to say next. "

"Before cupping, the cupping should be cleaned and dried, and then the patient should lie down or sit comfortably to expose the part to be cupped, and then ignite the fire into the cupping. When igniting, one hand is usually used to hold the can, and the other hand is used to hold the ignited detector. The operation should be fast. The detector on fire should be shaken in the can for a few times and then withdrawn, and the can should be quickly placed on the part to be treated; When the fire is still burning, you should cover the mouth of the can tightly to the affected area. You can't wait for the fire to go out. Otherwise, it's too loose and it's not conducive to sucking out moisture. It's better to have the mouth of the can tightly to the body. Be careful not to heat the edge of the can to prevent scalding. "

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian pressed a jar on Uncle Wen's back and turned it a little. After the jar had been firmly sucked on his back, he picked up the second jar.

"Generally, the can can be removed after 15-20 minutes. Do not forcibly pull the can, do not hard pull and rotate it. The main action is to tilt the can to one side with one hand, and press the skin with the other hand to make the air enter the can through the gap. The can will naturally separate from the skin." Yang Xiaotian spoke carefully, but Xu Nan listened carefully.

"The next step is called walking pot method. Walking pot refers to holding the pot with one or two hands after covering the pot, lifting it slightly, pushing and pulling the pot to move on the patient's skin. It can move in one direction or back and forth. So we've treated several parts. When walking the can, you should pay attention to apply some lubricants, such as glycerin, paraffin oil, scraping oil, etc. on the part or the mouth of the can to prevent the skin from being pulled when walking the can. "

"Brother Xiaotian, what you just made is... It's called..." what Xu Nan said is naturally the first jar Yang Xiaotian just pressed up.

"That's just the ordinary cupping. Remember, when cupping, you should choose the place where there is more meat, because it can make the cupping easier to suck on the human body. When cupping, we should choose the appropriate size according to the size of the area. The operation must be fast, so that the can can be pulled tight and the adsorption is strong... Well, you can watch it first. As for more detailed things, I'd better list them for you. "

Yang Xiaotian spoke carefully, but Xu Nan listened carefully. But because he spoke too carefully, Xu Nan's face now showed a confused look.

After all, acupoints are not strange to Chinese, but if we distinguish them, they are very strange to most Chinese. Xu Nan learned western medicine, not traditional Chinese medicine, when she was a child. At this time, she suddenly heard a lot of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine from Yang Xiaotian. Naturally, she felt like the first two.

Now that Xu Nan's theoretical knowledge is a little vague, Yang Xiaotian simply doesn't explain it, but directly uses the actual demonstration to let Xu Nan see it.

But although cupping is simple, it is not so easy to do. Xu Nan looked at it again, although he remembered some parts, but if he wanted to operate it in practice, it was still a little too fast.

After finishing all the cans, Yang Xiaotian asked Caroline ska to help find some paper and some colored pens, and then began to draw pictures on the paper. Although Yang Xiaotian is not a painting major, as long as he studies medicine, whether it is western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, he is required to have certain drawing ability.

After all, whether it is western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, when explaining to others. You can't always carry medical books with you?

"This is the point that needs cupping in the last week. I will try to come every three days. During this period, Xiao Nan, you will finish your graduation project first, and then go to other things. " Of course, this is mainly for carolinska. Xu Nan's absence for several days in a row has made carolinska very angry.

If Yang Xiaotian still dares to take Xu Nan back to San Francisco in the presence of Karolinska, even if Yang Xiaotian is Karolinska's most proud student, he will be severely reprimanded by Karolinska today.

Moreover, after that, Xu Nan can't be taken away!

The most important thing for students is to study, not others. All things must be done without affecting the completion of their studies. Now, before finishing her graduation thesis, Xu Nan goes to San Francisco to accompany Yang Xiaotian. Even though Caroline ska once advised Yang Xiaotian that she could find a girlfriend in the United States to vent her desire, in this case, even if Yang Xiaotian choked to death, Caroline ska would not let Xu Nan go to San Francisco!

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaotian finally chose to let Xu Nan stay in Palo Alto and Stanford University to finish the project.

"You're smart." Caroline ska gives Yang Xiaotian such a look and then turns away. Although she heard Yang Xiaotian talk about cupping, it was the first time she saw it. And when Yang Xiaotian explained, because many things can't be translated in English, he explained them all in Chinese. Carolinska is just passing a can. The rest doesn't need to be done.

"Then..."

"If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?" Yang Xiaotian kisses Xu Nan and then turns away.
