Reincarnation: The Sweet Wife Is A Miracle Doctor-Chapter 459 - 460: Healing Cycle 6
Nianyang spoke up, "Auntie Chu, don’t worry. Grandpa Chu’s muscle twitching is normal, and now he’s back to normal. Let me take a look."
Yunrou agreed and immediately stepped aside. As soon as Nianyang approached Old Master Chu, he began to shout excitedly again.
The old man’s eyes were filled with eager passion, as if he was looking at his closest family member.
That look gave Nianyang a bittersweet feeling. No matter how many lifetimes she had lived, she always felt warmth towards a kind-faced elder.
She held the old man’s wrinkled hand without a hint of disdain, "Grandpa Chu, don’t get excited. I’m the one who saved you last time, you should remember me, right? I’m here to treat you now, so relax and let me check your pulse, okay?"
The Chu Family was well aware of Old Master Chu’s stubborn temper. Once his emotions flared up, it was hard to calm him down. However, just as Nianyang finished speaking, Old Master Chu really did quiet down. His gaze never left Nianyang, as if she was the hope of his life.
Chu Tianming and Yunrou exchanged glances, both astonished at how much Old Master Chu seemed to like Nianyang. This was surprisingly obedient!
Chu Huan was also fuming, as her grandfather was usually cold and distant towards her, his own granddaughter, yet so affectionate with a stranger he had met once. Why!
This bitch Nianyang, she had already taken away Li Tingyan, and now she wanted to hook up with her family too!
Aunt Dong kept a neutral expression, but her heart was starting to chill. It seems Old Master Chu had recognized Nianyang, but thankfully he couldn’t speak... thankfully.
With Old Master Chu willing to cooperate for treatment, Nianyang began checking his pulse, then opened his mouth to examine his tongue, and understood the situation in her mind.
Seeing Nianyang withdraw her hand, Chu Tianming immediately asked, "Can you see anything?"
Nianyang calmly replied, "Uncle Chu, Auntie Chu, Grandpa Chu’s illness is serious and has a history of decades. It will require a significant amount of time.
I just mentioned that treating an illness relies on the doctor’s affinity with the patient, so I’ll share my medical reasoning first. If I’m correct, you must trust me completely for me to treat it."
Yunrou said, "Alright, go ahead. We know Dad’s condition very well."
Nianyang said, "Could you show me what medicine you usually give to Grandpa Chu?"
"Aunt Dong, bring the medicine my dad takes!" Chu Tianming ordered.
Aunt Dong quickly brought it over. Nianyang took a sniff, and with a sullen face said, "Epilepsy forms due to imbalance in the five organs and blockage in the six meridians. A deficiency in the pulse can be treated, while an excess leads to death.
The early stage of epilepsy is called fern disease, which can be cold or hot. When yang energy gradually declines from the feet, it is cold fern; when yin energy declines from the feet, it is hot fern.
The distinction between these two types is crucial for determining the right treatment for epilepsy, forming the foundation for a targeted approach. This is an essential step.
Grandpa Chu’s pulse is strong and smooth, and his hands and feet are cold. This is caused by yang deficiency and yin excess, which is cold fern. However, the medicine you give Grandpa Chu targets hot fern, which is why there has been no improvement."
Although Nianyang’s explanation was confusing, Chu Tianming only grasped the terms cold fern and hot fern and couldn’t help but ask,
"But, how did you determine my dad has cold fern?"
"Grandpa Chu’s yin energy starts from the inside of his toes and is concentrated below the knees. This is caused by internal yang deficiency, resulting in coldness. But because of Grandpa Chu’s age and deficiency in blood and energy, western medical instruments misdiagnosed it as hot fern, which is actually incorrect."
