271: Chapter 271 Traditional Chinese dicine Lecture (Part 2) 271: Chapter 271 Traditional Chinese dicine Lecture (Part 2) “Please speak, student,” Qin Han said with a faint smile.
“Doctor Qin, I can understand the Seven Emotions matching the Five Capabilities that you just ntioned, but I’m sowhat confused about the Seven Emotions you spoke of,” a female student asked with uncertainty.
Hearing this, Qin Han nodded and said, “I understand, that’s my fault for not clarifying.”
The female student, slightly embarrassed, smiled upon hearing Qin Han’s words.
“The Seven Emotions in Chinese dicine are not rely happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
They refer to joy, anger, worry, contemplation, sorrow, fear, and shock—these seven emotions.
These are the Seven Emotions as described in Chinese dicine.
There are also other interpretations of the Seven Emotions, such as happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, disgust, and desire.
Sotis, so dical texts might confuse the two,” Qin Han explained with a smile.
“I understand now, thank you, Doctor Qin!”
anwhile, at the entrance of the auditorium, Qin Han noticed a group of elders walking in.
However, they did not disturb anyone and simply found seats nearby to sit down.
Without further attention to them, Qin Han continued his lecture; perhaps these were leaders of the Chinese dicine University checking on the effectiveness of the classes.
“Next, let’s talk about Mutual Reinforcent,” Qin Han went on.
“Mutual Reinforcent is when one dicinal substance is the principal and another is the adjunct.
When combined, the adjunct can enhance the effect of the principal.”,
“The Inner Canon of Huangdi in the Basic Questions section ntions: The one that treats the primary disease is called the Monarch, assisting the Monarch is called the Minister, and facilitating the Minister is called the ssenger.
dicinal substances should also distinguish between Monarch and Minister.”,
The Monarch herb primarily acts on the main disease or syndro.
Its potency is foremost in the formula, and it is often used in larger quantities.
ssenger herbs in treatnt can serve as ssengers.
They not only guide herbs into the ridians but also harmonize all the herbs.
In every formula, the Monarch herb is essential and is considered the leader among them.
It can also be understood as the principal and adjunct herbs, with licorice being the most commonly used adjunct.”
“Since ancient tis, many people believed that using licorice was rely to soften the bitter taste of the dicine.
But those of us studying Chinese dicine should know that licorice is warm in nature and holds the effects of tonifying the spleen and benefiting qi, detoxifying, removing phlegm, stopping cough, alleviating urgency and pain, and harmonizing herbs.
That’s why so many people like to use licorice, because licorice does not harm the body.”
Upon hearing this, the students in the audience burst into laughter.
Qin Han said with a smile, “Don’t laugh, what I’m saying is true.
Nowadays, many doctors who open their private practices generally adopt the stance of ‘striving for no fault rather than effect.’
However, treating diseases should not be about seeking faultlessness.
Seeking no fault ans being irresponsible to the patients.
Because of your focus on faultlessness, you might worsen the patient’s condition or even cause loss of life.
That’s a sign of inaction.”,
“As doctors, our duty is to cure the sick and save lives.
‘Doctor’ is both a profession and more than just a profession!
If anyone here thinks this way, I believe you might as well leave, because what I’m teaching won’t be of any use to you in the future, and there’s no need to waste your ti here.”
Seeing that all the students below were listening attentively, Qin Han nodded and continued, “I just ntioned Mutual Reinforcent.
Now, let’s move on to Mutual Inhibition.”,
“As I said earlier, if there is a Monarch in dicine, there are also Ministers and ssengers.
I just talked about Mutual Reinforcent.
What we are discussing now is Mutual Inhibition.
What is Mutual Inhibition?
It is when the toxic side effects of one dication are suppressed by another.
For example, Pinellia is inhibited by ginger, as ginger can suppress the toxic side effects of Pinellia.
Raw Pinellia can cause throat irritation and make the throat painful and mute.
Processed with ginger to create Ginger-processed Pinellia, its side effects are greatly mitigated.
This is an example of Mutual Inhibition compatibility.”
Qin Han looked at the audience and said, “In many of the Western dications used today, a moderate side effect occurs, which many people tend to overlook, as so side effects eventually fade over ti.”,
“However, with Chinese dicine, when prescribing, one must first understand the dication to then use another to remove its side effects so that the patient does not experience them upon administration.
This is the concept of Mutual Inhibition in dication.”
“And now,” Qin Han continued, “Mutual Extermination!
Hearing the word ‘extermination’, you’d think it’s not sothing good, but actually, you’re mistaken.
If Mutual Inhibition is about suppressing side effects, then Mutual Extermination is about completely eliminating them.”
What is referred to as ‘mutually killing’ is when one drug can eliminate the toxic side effects of another drug.
The group of elders who had just walked in were also drawn into Qin Han’s theory, all wearing solemn expressions, with so even starting to take notes.
Seeing that the students below, aside from a few who were dozing off, were all listening attentively, Qin Han was very satisfied, as these theoretical concepts are easily soporific.
Then, he stood up, smiled, and said, “I was dragged here by Elder Sun to give this lecture, so I didn’t prepare much.
I’ve been talking for so long, and Elder Sun didn’t prepare water for either.
Could one of you students please get a glass of water?”
Qin Han pointed to a student who looked sowhat sleepy.
The students below all laughed and turned to look at Sun Pinghui, making his old face turn red.
Upon hearing this, the student, feeling a bit embarrassed, walked up to the stage to pour a cup of hot water for Qin Han, then said softly, “I’m sorry, Doctor Qin.”
Qin Han nodded and patted him with a smile.
This incident vexed Elder Sun Pinghui below.
Qin boy, you want the students to concentrate, so why are you making fun of ?
This interlude invigorated so of the drowsy students, who began to pay more attention to the lecture.
Qin Han was such a person: if he spoke, he made sure everyone understood.
“Mutual antagonism,” I once heard a story about a wealthy family that took in a female cousin.
This cousin was an orphan, but there was a silver lining—she inherited a fortune.
However, this female cousin had poor health and needed to regularly drink ginseng soup.
Although the wealthy family treated her well, and she drank ginseng soup constantly, she died within a year of her arrival, and her fortune naturally went to the wealthy family.
In fact, what eventually ca out was that the wealthy family had bribed the doctor preparing the dicine to add Lai Fu Zi to the ginseng soup.”
Qin Han looked at the audience and asked with a smile, “Do you know what Lai Fu Zi is?”
The people present glanced at each other and shook their heads.
“Lai Fu Zi is actually the dried and mature seed of a radish.
In traditional Chinese dicine, it’s not called radish seed but Lai Fu Zi, which is a nice-sounding na.
It has effects such as promoting digestion, relieving distension, and reducing phlegm.
However, when combined with ginseng, it weakens the tonic effect of the ginseng.
This is what is ant by mutual antagonism, the theoretical definition of which is that one drug can destroy the effectiveness of another drug.”
Qin Han highlighted the seriousness of mutual antagonism with a story: “Don’t think that I am making alarmist claims.
In traditional Chinese dicine, there are many herbs that are mutually antagonistic.
There is also the concept of dietary incompatibility, which is essentially a typical example of mutual antagonism.
Let give you a simple example, such as crab and tomatoes; if consud together, they can lead to bleeding and diarrhea, and in severe cases, they can be life-threatening.”
He continued, “Of course, so might say, ‘Doctor Qin, aren’t these foods?
Food is not the sa as herbal dicine.’ But what I want to emphasize is that there’s a saying you’ve probably heard: ‘Dietary nourishnt is better than dical supplentation!’ In a strict sense, food is also a type of herbal dicine, but it’s just that it can satiate hunger.
When foods are combined properly, they can provide energy to our bodies, which is itself the basic manifestation of a dicinal property.
dicines can provide energy, kill germs, and improve physical health.
So, in fact, the theory of the seven emotions of traditional Chinese dicine is everywhere in life.
