65438+ "Ba" refers to the eight joints of the human body, that is, the eight joints of two elbows, two axils, two mustaches and two points, and half of them refer to the Yin Hui point of the human body. These eight locks are life-and-death locks and life-saving locks of the human body. I remember when I was a child, I suffered from heatstroke in summer, nausea and dizziness. At that time, I was short of medicine and medicine in the countryside, and there was no good treatment. Mom often finds an elastic band, ties it to the elbow joint, and then slaps it hard on the elbow joint until the elbow joint turns purple and even sees the blue veins. Then she found a needle for sewing clothes, and after simple disinfection, she put the needle into the vein of the elbow joint. When the needle went down, a stream of black blood flowed out. Squeeze this black blood and it will turn red slowly. At this time, the feeling of nausea, vomiting and palpitation will gradually disappear after heatstroke. When I was a child, I didn't care much about these folk therapies, not only heatstroke, but sometimes I felt uncomfortable and my throat hurt. The elderly would also use some simple methods to treat them. When I grow up, I feel that this method is not very scientific, and I gradually have the psychology of resistance and rejection. Sometimes when I meet some unexpected situations and have no time to see a doctor, I will use these methods to treat the elderly, and the effect is still very good. But at this time, I know the truth and mystery. I just thought it was the indigenous method handed down from my family and didn't care. It was not until I studied medicine for many years that I discovered that the methods used by the old people were not indigenous, but well-founded. A passage in Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Xie Ke showed me a familiar treatment method: "Huangdi said that there is evil in the lung and heart, and its qi resides in the elbow ..." When I was a child, I tied a belt on my elbow, and then beat it hard to kill the bleeding. Isn't it from here to clear away the evil of lung and heart? Seeing this, I have doubts about these treatments for the elderly. Now, the old man is over 70 years old, and sometimes she feels unwell. She will still call me, tell me what's wrong with her body, and let me scrape, needle and cupping her. After the treatment, I was also glad to see that the old man looked relaxed. Sometimes I play a joke on the old man: "What you have learned is incomplete. I have learned eight methods now. " The old man opened his eyes and asked me, "What are your eight methods?" ? Tell me about it! "I told the old man about the lack of knowledge in a mysterious way. After listening to this, the old man smiled and said, "That makes sense. There are more people here than me. "In fact, on my way to study medicine, although I was determined to study medicine when I was a child, I was still influenced by my mother. Although the old man has no education, he is actually a very clever man. When she was in the countryside, she learned many good methods of folk treatment from the older generation. Such as pricking blood and strangulation, one of the most unique methods is to treat liver disease, and the effect is very good. Sometimes neighbors fall and touch, as long as there is no fracture, the old man will use some simple methods to move, twist and rub a few times, and most people will be fine. These methods didn't make any sense when I was a child. In retrospect, they all have medical origins, but I didn't pay attention to them. Some of these methods are old methods, while others are variations of old methods. And when it is used, it can especially embody the principle of simplicity and cheapness. In fact, fan eight is not enough, not only to cure these minor illnesses and pains, but also to cure serious diseases. " Eight "refers to the eight joints of the human body, that is, the eight locks of two elbows, two axils, two beards and two points that I will focus on below, and half of them refer to the points of the human body, that is, when I mentioned the secret method of planting yang in my last book. These eight and a half locks are life-and-death locks and life-saving locks of the human body. There are good ways to preserve health-there are many good ways to treat diseases among people who have little knowledge of Chinese medicine, which is very useful. These methods are gradually eliminated as western medicine focuses on the tangible things in scientific research, saying that these methods are unscientific. But it is these seemingly unscientific small earthwork that influenced our ancestors. My family has a little dog named Tao Tao, and my daughter likes it very much. Once when she was playing with Tao Tao, she suddenly asked me, "Dad, our classmates all say that Chinese medicine is amazing. Can Chinese medicine cure all diseases? " I said without hesitation, "Chinese medicine can cure all diseases. "I told her that it was best not to let the dog bite. It's not good to be afraid of water and light after biting, because our ancient Chinese medicine book records that rabies is not called rabies, but bitten by a mad dog. There are many ways to treat this disease. The simplest way is to cut a little hair from the dog's neck and burn it into charcoal after the dog bites. Another method is to use a poisonous Chinese medicine called Mylabris, and excrete the poison through urine after eating it. Some people say that it is unsanitary to cut and apply dog hair.
