Chapter 380: Acupuncture and Diet Therapy

As a citizen of Daqi, Li Haitang also wanted to contribute. It is no problem to get two or three quilts at home, and there is also a box of furs. Although it is not much, it can be used as knee pads for soldiers guarding the city at night.

A place for donating materials was set up in the city, and she planned to send the things out to support the soldiers.

In the early morning of the second day, the master and the servant used sauerkraut to make lump soup and a salted duck egg as a side dish. After the meal, Li Haitang urged Wu Fu to go out and donate things.

At the end of the hour, the sound of carriages and horses came from the alley, and Ma Bihe brought her cousin He Yuexiu to the door.

He Yuexiu wore a big cloak, covered her head with a hat, and covered her face with a face scarf. It was tightly wrapped, and only two eyes were exposed. After seeing Li Haitang, she was very excited and couldn't stop crying.

It has been more than a month since she got the strange disease, she dare not go out to meet people, she didn't even go to the gate of Daying in the north of the city to deliver things to her fiancé, she only wrote letters and left a few words.

The other party probably misunderstood, thinking that she wanted to regret the marriage and only wanted to see her once.

But how can she face people now? I don't know how much talisman water I drank, it's a dark bowl of water, it's hard to swallow, the most terrible thing is being treated as a monster, if it gets out, you might be burned to death.

"Miraculous doctor Li, this is my cousin, He Yuexiu."

Ma Bihe led people in first and introduced them to Li Haitang.

The He family was in the rice and cloth business, and was also one of the big families in the border town.

Because He Yuexiu's fiancé was a soldier of the camp in the north of the city, and there was a war between the two countries, so Master He donated the whole family's grain depot to the soldiers as military supplies.

Being able to do this is kind enough for a profit-seeking businessman.

"Master Li, please, please save me!"

He Yuexiu still endured it at first, but when she heard her cousin talking about her fiancé, she couldn't help feeling sad. She looked like a ghost now, how could she see people, if she distracted him, it would be fatal on the battlefield.

The family wanted to arrange a marriage earlier, but was delayed by her strange illness.

Along the way, the two experienced strong opposition from their families, and He Yuexiu felt that it was not easy. She would be able to marry and become a woman right away, but unexpected changes happened along the way.

If it can't be cured, she won't be able to survive, and she can't just go on like this, being treated as a topic of after-dinner conversation and an object of sympathy.

"You get up first."

He Yuexiu knelt on the ground and grabbed Li Haitang's trousers. Li Haitang's forehead twitched, and if she grabbed it again, the trousers inside would be pulled off.

Ma Bihe is also persuading, since it happened, there is nothing to do, so we have to face it.

There is something growing in her father's brain, and Doctor Li can cure it with a spoon. It's no big deal if there is only a little hair on his body. At least for now, it is not life-threatening.

Who knows who gets sick, especially the girl who loves beauty, it's hard to say.

"You reach out first, let me feel the pulse."

Li Haitang touched He Yuexiu's veins, frowned in thought, from the pulse condition, he was a very healthy person, He Yuexiu didn't even have the palace cold that is common to women, which shows that he usually attaches great importance to maintenance.

No wonder the old doctor couldn't see anything, and finally concluded it as a strange disease.

"But what do you see?"

Ma Bihe was also anxious and couldn't help but ask first.

He Yuexiu on the side gritted her teeth, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced, with her heart in her throat.

If Dr. Li said that there was no way to save her, then there was no need for her to live.

At least in the few cities around Beidi, no taller person could be found. My uncle, Master Ma, used money to seek medical treatment in the capital. It is said that even the imperial doctor was invited to see him, and the imperial doctor was helpless.

"The pulse is pretty normal."

A little bit of endocrine disorders, this is not a big problem.

Li Haitang asked about He Yuexiu's childhood, and was told that he hadn't been here for two or three months.

"Take off your shirt first and let me see."

They are all women, there is nothing shy about it, He Yuexiu trembled, her hands trembled for a long time, Ma Bihe helped, this stripping was real, she was completely naked.

There are several places where the hair grows, and some of them have been shaved, revealing black stubble, which looks unsightly.

Especially on the face, it is indeed a bit weird to grow a man's beard.

Based on the pulse condition, He Yuexiu was suffering from hirsutism, which was roughly consistent with Li Haitang's previous guess.

Excessive secretion of androgen leads to imbalance of hormones in the body and endocrine disorders.

"Master Li, do you have a solution?"

Ma Bihe pinned all her hopes on Li Haitang, waiting for the final conclusion.

The He family is not short of money, and the consultation fee of ten thousand taels of silver has already been prepared, as well as some private collections of antique calligraphy and paintings at home.

As long as the strange disease can be cured and the family goes bankrupt, I will not hesitate.

"It's not a big problem, but it's a little troublesome."

This regulation of hormones cannot be completed overnight, it needs a process.

While conditioning, get rid of unsightly hair.

At this time, there is no laser, the hair follicles cannot be destroyed, and the hair will grow back slowly.

The method suggested by Li Haitang is to use tweezers to pull out one by one. However, this is similar to minor surgery, and it will cause redness and swelling later. You must drink some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines and apply plaster to avoid folliculitis.

As for hormone regulation, she recommends acupuncture and diet therapy, so that the side effects on the body are minimal.

"What kind of strange disease is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

Ma Bihe was puzzled, she was by the side, observing the expression of Miracle Doctor Li, it seemed that it was not a serious illness.

"How do I explain this?"

Li Haitang realized that even if he talked about hormones with them, he would not be able to understand it. In short, it was a disorder.

The problem is not too big, but it is a very troublesome disease.

Just to destroy the hair follicles, you have to do it repeatedly and suffer a lot.

"Master Li, I'm not afraid of suffering, I can endure pain, as long as it can be cured."

He Yuexiu was afraid of being misunderstood as delicate, so she hurriedly said that she called the maid outside the door to come in, and solemnly handed over a small wooden box, which contained the consultation fee.

"Call a maid to come in and learn how to massage first."

Massage as an auxiliary adjustment, combined with acupuncture, decoction, and diet mainly consists of soy milk, peanuts, grains, soybeans, onions and sesame seeds. It is best to drink soy milk as water.

Adjust for a period of time first, then increase or decrease according to the situation.

"If you want to see your fiancé in the next few days, you can take off the hair on your face first."

For large areas of hair removal, you can't use razor blades or other methods. It's better to use beeswax, but she doesn't have it here, and you can use other things instead.

Li Haitang distracted He Yuexiu's attention with words, and by the time the other party realized, she had already completed her first acupuncture.

"Master Li, you are my savior!"

After He Yuexiu put on her clothes, she was about to kneel down again.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I'll talk about it after I'm cured." Li Haitang took a step back and accepted the consultation fee without accepting the gift. This is what a doctor should do.
