Hua Tuo was a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms period. He not only has excellent medical skills, but also has mastered a large number of folk remedies and prescriptions. History records the story of his skillful use of folk remedies to treat parasites.
On one occasion, Hua Tuo made house calls as scheduled. On the way to the patient's home, I met a patient with a blocked throat. His stomach was unbearable and he groaned in pain. He is taking a bus to treat him. When Hua Tuo saw this, he immediately stopped and asked questions. It turned out that the patient had been unable to eat for several days, his face was sallow, his abdomen was full and his colic was severe. Hua tuo carefully felt the pulse and watched the tongue picture. Then he said to the accompanying family, "Go to the roadside seller and ask for three or two cakes, add half a bowl of sour and vinegar, and let him finish eating." It turns out that Hua Tuo's "Pingtai" refers to cutting the stems and leaves of vegetables and adding salt or other seasonings, such as fennel, pepper powder, wine and vinegar. And make it into kimchi for daily use.
In the Song Dynasty's Dream of Tokyo, there is a saying that "the essence of food is called' making crabs'". According to Hua Tuo's instructions, the patient's family bought three or two flat crabs and added half a bowl of old vinegar for them to drink. The patient vomited a snake-like parasite in a short time after eating, and then the patient's stomach pain stopped and he was refreshed. The patients and their families were very happy and really saw the "imperial doctor". They hung the parasite on the side of the car, waited for Hua Tuo to come back from a house call, and went to Hua Tuo's house to thank him. I happened to have a group of children playing when I arrived at Huatuo's door. Among them, Hua Tuo's son saw the bug hanging on the car at a glance and said, "I have seen such a bug. It must have been spit out by a patient who was cured by my father. " The patient walked into Huatuo's house and went up to thank him.
I looked up and saw dozens of similar parasites hanging on the wall. The patient was surprised. Are all these parasites treated by Hua Tuo? As soon as Hua Tuo saw it, he explained the whole story. After he discovered this folk prescription in his long-term medical practice, he cured many patients like you with this folk prescription, and it was very effective. This is exactly: "small remedies cure serious diseases, and all kinds of bugs are difficult to hide."
