Understood.
In other words, as long as the child doesn’t eat junk food that harms the Spleen and Stomach, and doesn’t overeat, there won’t be an accumulation of phlegm and dampness in their body.
This way, epilepsy won’t be triggered!
Cai Bozhang combined this information with what Lu Jiu had previously told him about the cause of the illness and quickly summarized a cure.
"Dr. Lu, if we can do all that you’ve ntioned, can it really be cured?" Cai Bozhang’s eyes sparkled with hope.
Who doesn’t wish for their child to be healthy and free of illnesses?
Lu Jiu smiled and said, "At present, it’s still uncertain. We need to observe the reaction after the dication. If within three doses, the tightness in his abdon can be relieved, then after your child recovers normally, following my advice, it should largely prevent the recurrence of epilepsy."
Three doses of dicine.
Cai Bozhang felt a bit anxious.
He thought Lu Jiu could handle it easily.
But also realized, big hospital doctors had said this was an incurable disease requiring long-term dication treatnt, but with Lu Jiu, paying attention to diet and moderate exercise could lead to a normal life without dication, and this result already satisfied him.
After all, anti-epileptic drugs greatly impact a child’s brain developnt, as hospital doctors had warned of such side effects.
"Alright, Dr. Lu, please prescribe the dication." Cai Bozhang was in a good mood.
Lu Jiu nodded.
Since the goal was to clear the lungs and eliminate phlegm, the simplest and most effective prescription was undoubtedly the Stress Relief Tonic.
This classic formula consists of three ingredients: licorice, wheat, and Chinese Dates.
Why use this prescription?
Simple, the liver dislikes urgency; if urgent, use sweetness to alleviate it.
The most significant trait of epilepsy is "urgency."
Whether it’s emotional irritability or bodily convulsions after an episode, foaming at the mouth, or two eyes rolling back, all highlight the word "urgent."
These symptoms are directly related to the liver. For instance, emotional irritability with nowhere to vent is controlled by the liver, bodily spasms are tight muscles also governed by the liver, and eyes rolling back are also managed by the liver.
To relieve current symptoms, it naturally requires sweet-tasting dicine.
But why Stress Relief Tonic?
Because during epilepsy, the liver experiences urgency, and the body lacks fluids. The Stress Relief Tonic can nourish the heart and regulate the liver.
With the liver relaxed and the heart at peace, it helps Fei Jin nourish bodily fluids.
Once these new bodily fluids fill the lungs, they expel the body’s excess phlegm.
This naturally clears the lungs and dispels phlegm.
After prescribing three doses, Lu Jiu handed the prescription to Cai Bozhang, instructing him to contact him anyti if any issues arose.
Cai Bozhang imdiately took his wife and child to the pharmacy to get the dicine.
Once ho, they imdiately prepared the dicine for their son.
After drinking a bowl of the herbal dicine, an hour later, their son suddenly felt mild dizziness and couldn’t stop having diarrhea.
This situation made the couple feel sothing was amiss.
Who experiences intense diarrhea after drinking herbal dicine!
The next morning, even before finishing the second dose, Cai Bozhang went to Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.
After all, Lu Jiu had ntioned that they could reach out to him anyti if there were any issues with their son.
At the unusual diseases departnt, Cai Bozhang saw Lu Jiu attending to patients and waited until he finished consulting with one before approaching.
"Dr. Lu, after my son drank the dicine you prescribed, an hour later, he started to feel dizzy and couldn’t leave the bathroom, having diarrhea for a whole hour. What’s happening?" Cai Bozhang asked.
Lu Jiu chuckled, "It’s a good sign; it seems to be working."
"Huh?" Cai Bozhang was puzzled.
Lu Jiu explained, "Dizziness after taking dicine is normal. As for diarrhea, that’s the phlegm being expelled. Don’t worry. When you return, examine his abdon. You’ll likely find that the tight spots will gradually soften, and once the phlegm is mostly cleared, his abdon will return to normal."
Stress Relief Tonic doesn’t contain any purgative dicine. The diarrhea results from its effect of nurturing body fluids.
The lungs are the storehouse of phlegm.
Excess phlegm reduces the body’s ability to generate fluids, leading epilepsy patients to experience fluid deficiency.
Stress Relief Tonic helps the lungs produce new bodily fluids while calming the Heart Fire. With less heat, the phlegm loses support and cannot resist the fluid’s cleansing.
At this point, the phlegm travels down the new circulation path, turning into waste expelled from the body.
In the past, if Lu Jiu were treating heat-related phlegm, he would have prescribed purgatives.
But with a deeper understanding of classical prescriptions and the Five Viscera, his approach has shifted toward simplicity.
Perhaps even so seasoned traditional Chinese dicine doctors may initially struggle to understand how Stress Relief Tonic can treat epilepsy.
Looking at the prescription, none of the ingredients directly addresses epilepsy.
Yet, once these herbs enter the body, they trigger a series of reactions that perfectly address various symptoms of epilepsy.
This goes beyond symptom-focused treatnt, taking a holistic view of the patient, conducting a comprehensive analysis, and ultimately applying the simplest thod to pinpoint and eradicate all symptoms.
Achieving this is very challenging!
Even Lu Jiu could only slightly apply this approach to complex diseases after amassing experience.
Had he been confident earlier, he would have inford Cai Bozhang from the outset that his son would likely experience diarrhea after taking the dicine.
Now, with this response, it’s clear Lu Jiu has made significant progress in stepping out of the symptom-focused mindset.
It’s a considerable breakthrough for him in moving toward the Upper dical Realm.
After hearing Lu Jiu’s explanation, Cai Bozhang felt a bit more at ease.
Over the next two days, after taking the dicine, his son did indeed need to have a bowel movent.
However, the dizziness was gone!
On the third day, when Cai Bozhang touched his son’s abdon, sure enough, it was much softer than the previous two days.
The key point was that after three days of diarrhea, his son didn’t appear exhausted; instead, his spirits improved.
These changes made the couple very happy.
Three days later, they returned for a follow-up consultation.
This ti, Lu Jiu was much more confident.
Cai Bozhang’s son had recovered remarkably well, with much of the phlegm cleared, and the heat had mostly subsided.
He could continue drinking the Stress Relief Tonic.
The prescription was inherently gentle, even referred to in so places as Stress Relief Tea, and could be consud daily by people without epilepsy.
Of course, those without much phlegm wouldn’t experience diarrhea after drinking it.
However, considering current dietary preferences and habits, most people have so level of phlegm. It’s rare for it to block the brain channels; more often, it’s stuck in the throat.
In such cases, drinking Stress Relief Tonic is beneficial.
