Chapter 543 Going to the Doctor
The next day, when the first ray of morning light penetrated the gap in the curtains and gently brushed Jiang Ning's cheek, she woke up slowly from a night's sleep.
There was a faint golden glow in her eyes, and the pain of last night seemed to have been mostly dispelled by the warm morning light.
She sat up slowly and felt that although the discomfort in her stomach had eased, it was still like a thin string, gently pulling at her nerves.
Gu Yuan did not sleep all night, and his eyes never left Jiang Ning's figure.
Seeing her wake up, he immediately stepped forward and asked softly:
"How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Ning raised his head and looked into Gu Yuan's eyes full of concern, and a warm feeling arose in his heart.
She smiled slightly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice:
"I feel much better, but I still want to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up to put my mind at ease."
Gu Yuan nodded, and his movements were quick and orderly, preparing a soft coat for Jiang Ning to ensure that she would stay warm in the early morning chill.
The two walked out of the house hand in hand, and were greeted by the fresh air and warmth of the morning sun.
They drove to the hospital. Along the way, Gu Yuan put his hand on Jiang Ning's forehead from time to time to feel her body temperature and make sure she was as comfortable as possible on the way to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital, they quickly completed the registration procedures and waited for the doctor to call.
During the waiting process, Gu Yuan always held Jiang Ning's hand, giving her strength and courage.
People were coming and going in the hospital corridor, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, but Gu Yuan's presence made everything seem less strange and indifferent.
Finally, it was Jiang Ning's turn. After asking about her symptoms in detail, the doctor made an unexpected suggestion.
——Go see a Chinese doctor.
Although Western medicine is adept at diagnosing and treating organic diseases, Chinese medicine has unique advantages and methods in terms of overall conditioning of the body and relief of chronic pain.
Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan looked at each other. Although they knew little about Chinese medicine, they were willing to try any method that might help Jiang Ning recover his health.
So they quickly went to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where they were greeted by an old Chinese doctor with a kind face.
The old Chinese doctor calmly took Jiang Ning's pulse, observed his tongue, and asked about his living habits. The whole diagnostic process was rigorous and meticulous.
In the end, the old Chinese doctor developed a comprehensive treatment plan for them.
This also includes Chinese medicine conditioning, acupuncture therapy, as well as guidance on diet and daily routine.
In response to Jiang Ning's situation, the Chinese medicine doctor recommended the following conditioning methods to help her relieve stomach pain, adjust her physical condition, and promote overall body balance.
Based on Jiang Ning's specific symptoms and constitution, a Chinese medicine practitioner may prescribe a personalized Chinese medicine prescription.
For example, if her stomachache is accompanied by indigestion, herbs that strengthen the spleen and stomach and regulate qi and harmonize the middle may be used, such as Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Licorice root.
Chinese medicine usually needs to be decocted before taking, and Chinese medicine practitioners will guide the correct decocting method and time of taking the medicine.
Acupuncture can regulate qi and blood and relieve pain.
For Jiang Ning's stomachache, acupoints such as Zusanli, Zhongwan, and Neiguan may be chosen for stimulation to achieve the effect of harmonizing the spleen and stomach and relieving pain.
In addition, acupuncture treatment needs to be performed under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to ensure the accuracy and safety of the acupoints.
Traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes that food and medicine have the same origin, and a reasonable eating habit is essential to health.
Jiang Ning can follow the advice of traditional Chinese medicine and choose foods that are easy to digest and absorb, such as millet porridge, yam, pumpkin, etc., and avoid greasy, spicy, and cold foods.
At the same time, Chinese medicine will also recommend some dietary therapy recipes with specific effects, such as ginger and brown sugar water, to warm the middle and dispel cold, and relieve stomach pain.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that emotions are closely related to the health of internal organs.
For Jiang Ning, maintaining a calm mind and avoiding excessive tension and anxiety can help improve spleen and stomach function.
You can relax and reduce mental stress through meditation, yoga, walking, etc.
Moderate exercise can promote the circulation of qi and blood and enhance the function of the spleen and stomach.
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners may recommend gentle exercises, such as Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin, which have a slow tempo and gentle movements and are suitable for conditioning the body.
In addition, Jiang Ning should try to ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, and maintain good living habits.
While undergoing TCM treatment, Jiang Ning should visit the TCM practitioner regularly and adjust the treatment plan according to changes in his body.
At the same time, she should also pay attention to her body's reactions. If she feels unwell, she should communicate with a Chinese medicine practitioner in a timely manner and adjust the treatment strategy.
Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning is a gradual process that requires the patient's patience and persistence.
In the old Chinese doctor's clinic, antique calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and the air is filled with the faint aroma of traditional Chinese medicine.
Jiang Ning sat on a wooden treatment chair, the old Chinese doctor's fingers gently pressed on her wrist. It was an ancient and mysterious way of communication, exploring the secrets of the body through the beating of the pulse.
Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan listened carefully to the advice of the old Chinese doctor, their hearts filled with confidence and hope.
They know that the treatment process will not happen overnight and requires time and patience.
But as long as they have each other's company and support, they believe that any difficulties can be overcome.
With Gu Yuan's encouragement, Jiang Ning nodded firmly, and they decided to go all out, follow the doctor's advice, and move towards recovery step by step.
They will go hand in hand in this challenging journey.
