Chapter 109: Chapter 107: Decoction for Driving Out Stagnant Blood
Lin Miao understood that if he refused the first diagnosis, it would be even more difficult later. The problem is, this "rabies" condition is known to be incurable, a terminal illness. However, in this world, there’s no such thing as a terminal illness, just the lack of a treatment method.
Rabies belongs to the category of madness due to blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine and is not necessarily a fatal disease.
"Inner Canon of Huangdi": When blood is in disorder above, one tends to forget; when blood is below, a person appears mad. The "Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases" establishes multiple formulas for treating madness due to blood stasis.
Although there are prescriptions for treatment, whether they are effective, he does not know, and he has no absolute certainty.
Both "Prescription Song Rhymes" and "Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabi" have prescriptions for treating rabies, with roughly similar approaches.
In the past, he had only heard of some cases where rabies was cured, but he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.
Therefore, he also didn’t dare make any judgment lightly.
Moreover, regarding medicine, there’s one ingredient that might not be available in any pharmacy in Dongshan City now – that’s the ground beetle.
This ingredient isn’t included in this world’s "Hundred Herbs Scripture
