I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 211 - 180: The Reason for Snoring

"Little Luo Xiaoxiao, still wetting the bed? The teacher has prepared some Silkworm Chrysalis for you. When you get home, have your parents roast a few for you to eat. Once you eat these, you won't wet the bed anymore..."

...

"Little Dou Dou, don't eat too much fruit, especially watermelon. It's fine in summer, but you shouldn't eat it in winter. Always remember to eat fruits in season; off-season fruits aren't good for your health..."

...

"Little Jiang Zeshen, don't cry secretly under the covers at night. Being overly sad and worried will harm your Fei Jin, which is why you're always coughing. If you have anything on your mind, speak to your grandparents, or you can talk to the teacher, but don't keep it bottled up..."

...

Each of Lu Jiu's letters was opened, and over fifty families read what he wrote.

This left many parents quite astonished.

This so-called Chinese medicine teacher, after just a few lessons, understood their children's habits so clearly. It's a bit too miraculous.

Take Luo Xiaoxiao's parents, for example. They never told even their relatives about the bedwetting — after all, what child hasn't wet the bed? It's too normal.

But how could a teacher, who had never been to their home, know about Luo Xiaoxiao's bedwetting?

And as for Jiang Zeshen's grandparents, when they saw the phrase, "don't cry secretly under the covers," they were equally surprised.

They knew their grandson missed his parents; they'd heard Jiang Zeshen cry secretly under the covers several times.

But how did a teacher know about this?

For a time, many parents realized that the Experimental Primary School had a remarkable Chinese medicine teacher.

Thus, the parents' group chat became a hotbed of discussion over this.

"Xia Mengya's parents, did you see the letters that Chinese medicine teacher wrote to the children?"

"Yes, it's amazing! He said our Mengya is always catching colds because of Qi deficiency; she often sweats in her sleep, and has poor bowel movements — he got it all right."

"That's nothing; our Yu Qin secretly eats ice cream at night, and he could tell that too."

"Really, that's unbelievable, just knowing about the ice cream is astonishing enough. How can he be sure it's eaten at night?"

"Exactly, but that's what the letter said. I've never even met this teacher, and my child never told anyone about this. So I wonder whether to believe it or not."

"Hehe, Yu Qin's parents, Dr. Lu is indeed impressive, there's no need to doubt that."

"Dou Dou's parents, do you know him?"

"Yes, my mom's breast cancer metastasized to lung cancer, and she's currently being treated by him."

"Wow! Treating cancer?"

"How's your mom doing now, Dou Dou's parents?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Much better. She couldn't eat even one meal a day before, but now she can eat three meals, and her sleep has improved a lot. She doesn't even look like someone with cancer anymore."

"But I've heard that Teacher Lu is very young, only in his twenties. Isn't it said that the older you are in the Chinese medicine field, the better you get?"

"Genius has no age."

"Dou Dou's parents, did you try treatment at the hospital before?"

"Yes, the hospital said she'd not live much longer even with continued treatment. That's why we sought Chinese medicine, and we were lucky to find Dr. Lu, otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do."

"..."

...

Lu's Clinic.

[Patient Sun Dan, Qi and blood deficiency recovery progress 15%, spleen deficiency and stomach weakness recovery progress 52%, symptom recovery progress exceeds 50%, activate skill reward, claim?]

[Claim.]

[Reward obtained: Tune Spirit.]

What is this?

While performing moxibustion on a patient, Lu Jiu suddenly heard a notification in his mind.

After claiming it, he acquired a skill called Tune Spirit.

But as he was puzzled, more information appeared in his mind.

In a moment's time, he understood that the Tune Spirit skill enhances acupuncture.

Just like Qi, with this Tune Spirit, when Lu Jiu used needles to help patients with insomnia, the results became twice as effective with half the effort.

This was incredibly useful for Lu Jiu because many patients' conditions worsened due to sleep problems, and having an illness in the Five Viscera could also lead to various types of insomnia.

For instance, liver disease causes patients to wake between 1 to 3 a.m., lung disease makes them wake between 3 to 5 a.m.

With this Tune Spirit capability, when Lu Jiu treated patients, combined with targeted acupuncture points, the effect was guaranteed to be outstanding.

"Dr. Lu, my husband often snores at night. Can you treat this issue? I personally don't mind, I've gotten used to it over the years. But for the past six months, his snoring has gotten so loud it even disturbs our child. Even with a room in between, it's unbearable. It severely impacts our child's studying."

The woman receiving moxibustion, her stomach enveloped in smoke, turned her head to look at Lu Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu asked, "Does your husband drink alcohol?"

The woman replied, "Yes, he drinks a lot; his job involves socializing."

Lu Jiu smiled, "So he probably eats rich, heavy foods often?"

The woman replied, "Of course."

Lu Jiu said, "No problem, it's likely due to lung heat injuring body fluids. Bring him over next time; a couple of doses of medicine should improve it. However, to permanently cure this small issue, it's better to reduce foods that are too rich and greasy. Otherwise, even if it's treated, it'll return."

Actually, the root cause of snoring is a lack of fluids in the lungs. Eating meat and drinking alcohol generate internal heat, causing body fluids to evaporate, which results in a particularly dry nasal area.

The fluid in the lungs is snot, and a moderate amount of it can moisten the nose. Excess blocks it, and too little makes it dry, causing noise during breathing.

So, to solve this, the issue of insufficient lung fluids must be addressed.

In fact, the pathology of diabetes and snoring are the same. Essentially, it's a lack of body fluids; there's less water in the body, and more sugar in the blood.

This is why Chinese medicine refers to diabetes as Xiaoke syndrome; the most direct symptom is thirst.

In other words, when you feel thirsty and can't quench it by drinking water, it indicates a deficiency in body fluids, which cannot be supplemented. The body's function to generate fluids is in trouble.

The body's circulation cannot produce more fluids, so the sugar in the blood can't be diluted, which results in elevated blood sugar data.

This illustrates why blood tests cannot fully explain all the information about our body.

Any disease within the body is not only a localized issue. Analyzing and treating just one area makes healing a matter of luck; if it doesn't heal, that's normal. The worst is when healing brings about side effects after the cure.

"That's great, I'll bring him over in a couple of days."
