Across the waves to death #2
As is the case with most Southeast Asian studies, the teaching of yin and yang has a significant impact on the theory and application of Chinese medicine. In this case, yin means cold, and yang means hot. They also symbolize many other opposing properties. In addition, during diagnosis and treatment, the meridians of the body associated with acupuncture are taken into account. To balance the patient's yin and yang ratio, herbs and products are attributed, which are divided into cold or hot.
For example: a patient who has a fever is considered hot, so he is prescribed herbs that are believed to have antipyretic properties. Although the teachings of yin and yang may not be mentioned, the same principles are still used when it comes to determining how to treat a patient. But how does a doctor who uses Chinese medicine make a diagnosis? And what does a medicinal plant store look like? To find out about this, why don't we go to the store with Kwok Kit, which was recommended to him by a friend?
Exotic Medicinal Plant Store
A surprise! Today, Kwok Kot has to wait for a doctor's appointment. There seems to be an epidemic of flu or colds, so there are two patients in front of him. Since we'll have to wait a bit, we'll look at the store at that time.
The first thing that attracts attention is the multitude of dried goods: mushrooms, scallop clams, abalone, figs, nuts and other edible products that are displayed in open baskets standing at the entrance. So, you can even buy groceries here. But some of them are also attributed for medicinal purposes.
Then we can see glass counters on both sides of the narrow shop. They contain rare or special herbs, minerals, and dried animal parts - all of which are expensive. Taking a closer look, we notice deer antlers, pearls, a dried lizard and seahorses, as well as other exotic things. Until recently, rhino horn, bear gall bladder and other animal body parts could be seen on such storefronts, but now these goods are prohibited.
In another corner of the shop we find packages with herbal mixtures for common ailments, such as colds or stomach disorders, as well as a mixture of herbal Chinese medicines in bottles. It is enough to tell the seller what your problem is and he will either offer you the product in a bottle, or give you a bag with a mixture of herbs and explain how to make a decoction at home.
Along the wall, behind the seller, we notice shelves with tall glass vessels containing various dry roots, leaves and twigs. 1xBet Bonus Code India - Sports & Casino Bonus.
