Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 715: The old butler's tongue swings wildly, a rare "tongue dance"

Fangyan was still a little surprised when he saw the gift the other party gave him.

But then I thought, the other party is in the wine business, so it is normal for him to have these things, just like a bookseller has ancient books, and a painter has ancient calligraphy and paintings.

It's much more thoughtful than other people giving red envelopes.

However, Lao Fan and Xiao Peng who were standing by were shocked.

They both began to calculate the time silently.

Red wine from 1787?

When was 1787?
18s.

France was in the late Bourbon dynasty.

Countries such as Britain, France, and Spain owned a large number of colonies overseas, and they were constantly in conflict with each other over colonies and trade interests.

The first industrial revolution had already begun about 27 years ago.

This was the 52nd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty!

And this bottle of wine was passed down from that time.

The key is, can this thing be drunk?

At this time, Fang Yan had already received the other party's gift and said with a smile:

"Have a heart."

Patient Ms. Li saw Fangyan taking over and said:
"As long as you like it, I'll be leaving first."

"I'll take you there." Fang Yan stood up and walked him and his assistant to the door.

After everyone left, Fangyan came back and sat down, starting to write the medical records quickly.

Lao Fan originally wanted to ask if it would be okay to drink red wine?
As a result, I saw Fangyan writing the notes for the recipe, so I quickly shut up and started reading.

I only saw the dialect written:

"…Fumai Decoction can replenish vital energy, nourish blood, moisten yin fluid, and restore normal pulse through the addition and subtraction of drugs. Blood belongs to the category of yin. When the heart blood is insufficient, the yin fluid will also be deficient. Supplementing qi and yin fluid can nourish the heart blood. Therefore, in this prescription, roasted licorice, astragalus, and poria are used to replenish the body's positive energy. Poria can also invigorate the spleen and stomach, penetrate dampness and promote diuresis, and can prevent some people from edema due to taking a large amount of roasted licorice; salvia miltiorrhiza and angelica are used to nourish blood and promote blood circulation; Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora sibiricum, and Ophiopogon japonicus nourish the heart yin; Schisandra chinensis is used to astringe and consolidate, and cinnamon twigs are used to disperse and guide other drugs to enter the heart meridian and enter the blood to play a role. In addition, sweet pine and sophora flavescens have the effect of regulating heart rhythm, so they are also used in this prescription..."

Lao Fan asked in dialect:

"You write medical records in such detail?"

The dialect said:

"I'm going to show this to my apprentice, so I have to write it in detail."

After reading this, Lao Fan saw Fang Yan writing down the contents of the Western medicine diagnosis. He couldn't help but ask:

"No, can you understand the Western medical examination report?"

"I just know a little bit." Fangyan said.

Lao Fan opened his mouth but no words came out. The dialect sounded very calm and he believed it.

Xiao Peng suddenly no longer envied those who studied medicine.

No wonder Chinese medicine only takes four years to study, but it takes five years to study at a Chinese medicine university.

It's totally not on the same level of difficulty.

At this time, Lao Fan discovered that Fangyan wrote very quickly and his ideas were very clear. He even remembered clearly all the data that he had just looked at.

The medical record was finished in a short while.

Then he put away his pen and said to Lao Fan and the others beside him:

"Please call the next patient, number 27."

Old Fan came back to his senses and nodded:

"it is good!"

At this time Xiao Peng said:
"Brother Fan, you are here. I'm going! I'm going!"

After saying that, he ran over, opened the door and shouted outside:

"No. 27, come in for a medical consultation!"

Soon, this time the whole family walked in from outside.

Fangyan's clinic was instantly filled with people.

Xiao Peng stood at the door, feeling a little helpless for a moment. He didn't know why he shouted that so many people had come.

Even Fangyan and Lao Fan were stunned for a moment.

There are at least eight or nine people coming in now.

Fangyan saw two faces he had seen at the banquet. They were a couple. The man's surname was An and he was in the rubber business in Southeast Asia. As for the other young people, they looked a bit like their children.

Fangyan asked them:

"Who among you needs medical attention?"

The overseas Chinese businessman and his wife spoke in dialect:

"Doctor Fang, it's my housekeeper who needs to see a doctor."

As he spoke, he pointed to an old man surrounded by the crowd.

He was an old man who looked to be in his 60s with dark skin.

At first glance, his facial features don't look like those of a Chinese person.

Fangyan noticed that his body was swaying abnormally from side to side.

"Your butler?" Fang Yan frowned slightly.

It's not that I'm picky about the patients, it's my superiors who arrange for overseas Chinese businessmen to be treated.

Now this situation is a special case.

In the end, neither the dean nor Director Liao told me.

The other party nodded and said:
"Yes, Uncle Han is our housekeeper and has been working in our house all along."

"He is like a family member to us. Now that he is sick, it is only natural that I should take him to get treatment."

After saying this, he seemed to understand what Fangyan was thinking, and quickly added:

"I asked Director Liao when I came here, and he said he could ask you to treat me."

This is the first time that I have encountered an overseas Chinese businessman who brought people other than his own family for treatment.

He was the first one among so many people to come back from a long distance with the old butler.

Now that things have come to this, Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Okay, come and sit down, old man." At this time, the old man nodded and walked towards Fang Yan.

Fangyan noticed that his head began to shake slightly as he walked.

Fangyan has treated several cases of this kind.

Without exception, it is basically related to the wind evil in the body.

After the old man sat down, Fang Yan asked him:

"Hello, tell me what the problem is."

The old man pointed to his mouth and waved his hands.

Fang Yan frowned and asked:
"Can't speak? Or can't open your mouth?"

The overseas Chinese businessman named An came over and explained in dialect:
"Uncle Han's tongue is out of control, he can't speak, and it's difficult for him to eat. We have sought treatment from both Chinese and Western doctors in Malaysia, but nothing worked."

Fang Yan was startled. He thought it was a shake of the head. He looked at the old man and repeated:
"Uncontrolled tongue?"

"No...wrong..." The old man opened his mouth and responded to Fangyan's question.

Fangyan only saw his tongue stirring in his mouth, as if it was completely out of control.

When he speaks, it's like there's a ball in his mouth, and I can only make out a general idea of ​​what he's saying.

Not only was Fang Yan stunned by this situation, but Lao Fan and Xiao Peng were even more dumbfounded.

In their limited lives, they had never seen such a strange disease.

Even though Lao Fan has studied Taoist medicine for such a long time, he has never seen such a medical case.

If he were seeing patients here, he would first suspect that the old man was deliberately playing a trick on him.

If he didn't know that this group of people were overseas Chinese, who had returned from Southeast Asia for medical treatment, he would have every reason to suspect that the old man was deliberately sticking his tongue out to trick them.

Fang Yan was very calm. After hesitating for a while, he asked:

"Can you describe the symptoms in detail?"

Mr. An said to the dialect:

"Uncle Han's illness started in mid-May last year. At first, his tongue started to feel numb, and then it kept moving in his mouth all day long. It was even worse at night, and it only stopped when he fell asleep."

"It's been almost a year, and his health has been getting worse and worse. He has difficulty speaking, and eating is also a big problem because his tongue moves around and he often chews on it when eating."

"During this period, we sought treatment from many people, including sedatives, hormones, acupuncture, and even a master to perform exorcism, but nothing worked."

Hearing this, Fang Yan nodded, then turned to look at the patient and asked him:
"Except when you are sleeping, your tongue won't move around. Is there any other time when your tongue stops moving?"

The old man thought about it, then shook his head.

Fangyan noticed that the movement of his head might be related to his tongue.

Fangyan thought for a while, then said to the old man:
"Can you control your tongue sticking out?"

The old man was slightly startled when he heard this, then he opened his mouth and tried to spit out his moving tongue.

In an instant, Fang Yan saw his tongue sticking out. It was jumping and shaking, swinging with a large amplitude, dangling outside the mouth. The tongue was not stiff at all, not like an ordinary person's tongue that was deliberately sticking out and dangling, but it was quite soft and twisted back and forth. Fang Yan also saw the tongue coating.

The tongue coating is thin.

"Okay." Fang Yan responded, causing the old man to quickly retract his tongue.

Just now, when he opened his mouth and his tongue danced in front of her, it was really a bit uncomfortable.

Fangyan could hear Xiao Peng's almost suppressed breath behind him.

But Fangyan was not in the mood to laugh. He had already figured out what was wrong with him. He said to the old man:

"Let me take your pulse."

After hearing this, the old man extended his hand to the dialect examination table.

Fangyan felt the pulse and found it was stringy.

The same thing happened when I touched it with my other hand.

Fang Yan pinched his eyebrows and began to think.

If his judgment was correct, this should be a tongue tremor caused by the internal movement of liver wind, but Fangyan had never seen such a crazy tumbling and jumping tongue tremor.

"Lingshu. Kouwen" records: "When the heart beats, all the internal organs shake."

The tongue is the sprout of the heart and belongs to the spleen. Internal movement of liver wind may cause tongue tremors.

The patient had a stringy pulse, which is usually related to the liver, so the dialect made it more certain that the cause was internal liver wind.

In addition, Mr. An also said just now that the tongue will stop moving after falling asleep.

According to the principle that “the heart opens to the tongue”, his symptoms were relieved because his mind was at peace when he was sleeping.

Judging from the dialect, this may be related to excessive heart fire or insufficient heart blood. Blood deficiency causes the liver to lose nourishment, causing internal liver wind and thus causing tongue tremors.

Finally, Fangyan picked up the pen and began to write on the paper. He wrote:
According to the patient's symptoms and syndrome differentiation, this is a "tongue tremor syndrome" and the pathogenesis is blood deficiency, wind movement, and malnutrition of the heart and liver. The treatment should be to nourish the blood, extinguish the wind, and calm the mind and tranquilize the nerves.

This symptom falls into the category of "wind evil that is too strong will cause limb shaking", but it is different from the situation where hyperactivity of liver yang causes internal movement of liver wind, or excessive heat evil causes internal movement of liver wind.

This is because of blood deficiency, which is unable to nourish the tendons and veins, resulting in the generation of virtual wind evil in the body. This virtual wind invades the meridians of the tongue upwards.

At night, the Yin energy is more active and the blood can be temporarily in a quiet state, so the symptoms will be alleviated; during the day, the Yang energy is more active, and the blood deficiency and internal wind movement will be more serious.

Therefore, it is necessary to take into account both the root cause and the symptoms of the disease during treatment, to take nourishing the blood as the fundamental treatment method, and to take calming the wind evil as a secondary treatment method. In particular, it is necessary to attach importance to the use of insect medicines to deeply search for and eliminate the wind evil.

When Lao Fan, who was standing behind Fangyan, saw the dialectics and solutions written by Fangyan, he suddenly realized.

But soon he frowned again. The other person just said that he had sought treatment from a doctor abroad.

Not only Western medicine, but also traditional Chinese medicine has been sought.

Is it possible that no one among foreign Chinese medicine practitioners has figured out this problem?
He felt it was unlikely.

He just wondered if the medicine he prescribed didn't cure the disease.

After all, tongue tremor is "trembling", which is already considered "dancing". Can it be cured by treating it with the method of treating tongue tremor?
As a result, at this moment, he saw Fangyan writing the prescription:
50g earthworm, 12g scorpion, 30g silkworm…

I just wrote three of them and they were all dumbfounded. These are all over-the-standard usage.

However, Fang Yan remained calm and quickly wrote down his prescription:

……阿胶12g（烊化）、生地黄30g、白芍20g、当归15g、生牡蛎30g（先煎）、生鳖甲30g（先煎）、龟板30g（先煎）、钩藤15g（后下）、酸枣仁30g、茯神15g、远志10g、炙甘草6g。

First fry oysters, turtle shells and tortoise shells for 30 minutes, then add other herbs and fry together; add Uncaria rhynchophylla for the last 5 minutes.

Take 1 dose daily, divided into 2 doses and taken warm, mixed with 1 raw egg yolk and taken with water.
