After finally cleaning the room, he was so tired that he sat on a stool to rest for a while. After drinking a sip of boiled water, he regained some energy.

After regaining some spirit, she took out the notebook she had just recorded from her bag. After checking that the general direction was correct, she prepared to record the other minor directions in detail.

Seeing that the autumn harvest was imminent, she first registered the treatments for various back and leg aches, and after thinking clearly about the recording method, she picked up her pen and wrote down:

Low back and leg pain is a common symptom, often caused by lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar muscle strain, etc.

Generally speaking, back and leg pain in this era is usually caused by lumbar muscle strain. After all, farm work nowadays is done over and over again without any rest (except in winter).

Traditional Chinese medicine classifies it as "low back pain", believing that it is mostly caused by liver and kidney deficiency, blood stasis, and exposure to cold and dampness.

To put it simply, it means that people are extremely tired but have not properly restored their bodies, and they will be worn down over a long period of time.

This is why the people in the Youth League still eat meat and eggs every day even when the farming season is not so busy, just to avoid physical deficiency.

However, there are very few people who can eat like them, so those who are busy in the brigade now will more or less feel some back and leg pain after the autumn harvest.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, some Chinese medicines that have the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening the tendons and bones, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dispelling cold and removing dampness can be used to treat back pain and leg pain.

Common ones include: Eucommia ulmoides, Dipsacus asper, Cibotium bark, Drynaria fortunei, Millettia reticulata, Angelica dahurica, Clematidis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, etc.

Looking at the medicinal herbs recorded in the notebook, I thought that although it is impossible for every kind of herb to be found in the mountains here, as long as the name of the herb is registered, I can find alternative medicines.

After seeing that the back pain was registered, she started to register the most common knee pain in winter. After all, in today's world, few people can afford to buy enough cotton in winter.

Even if they had money, the team members who farmed in the countryside did not have enough cotton tickets to buy cotton, and almost every family in the team had several idle children.

Children of that age were very active and their families did not have enough cloth and cotton coupons, so many of them had rheumatism, and their condition did not improve when they grew up.

Therefore, even without statistics, we can imagine how many children or adults in the team will experience knee and leg pain after the arrival of winter.

Now that there was a health station, they would definitely come here to ask for medicine, so Lin Sitian had to make plans early, so she opened another page and wrote down:

Knee and leg pain or knee joint pain is a relatively common disease. In most cases, it is caused by damage to the cartilage and soft tissue inside the joint. There are many reasons such as osteoarthritis, sports injuries, rheumatism, etc.

Generally, the team members are in the latter two situations. However, in terms of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the commonly used traditional Chinese medicines for knee joint pain are: Guizhi Decoction, Sijunzi Decoction, Danggui Ginger and Lamb Soup, etc.

Among them, Guizhi Decoction is one of the most common or commonly used prescriptions for treating rheumatic diseases and knee pain. It can relieve pain, reduce swelling and reduce fever.

After writing these, she also specifically wrote that if there are no other medicines or methods, you can also fry the fine sand and put it in rags to use as a hot compress on the knees.

In addition to prescriptions, related drugs can also be used to treat knee joint pain, such as Chuanxiong, Safflower, etc. These drugs can dilate blood vessels, improve microcirculation, relieve pain, etc.

In addition to prescriptions, rheumatic bone diseases can also be treated in the form of ointments, such as Zhenjiang plaster. This plaster has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving pain, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, resolving lumps and removing blood stasis (dispersing lumps, fullness, and removing blood stasis), and dispersing and relieving qi.

It is used to treat muscle and bone pain, trauma, difficulty in moving one side of the limbs, numbness, joint pain, etc. In addition to that ointment, there is also Zushi Numb Plaster, etc.

Zushi Ma Plaster has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. It can be used for wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, blood stasis, limb joint pain caused by meridians, chills and cold limbs, local swelling, agglomerations or ecchymosis, etc.

.....................

After recording these kinds of medicines, I finally remembered the most common and troublesome cold! Because colds are caused by many factors, they are divided into many types such as wind-heat, wind-cold, summer-heat and dampness, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, etc.

Treatment can also be divided according to the type of cold: For wind-cold colds, pungent and warm diaphoretic drugs should be used, such as Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, Perilla, Angelica dahurica, ginger, shallot, ephedra, cassia twig, etc.

For wind-heat cold, you can choose spicy and cool Chinese medicine, such as honeysuckle, forsythia, mint, light fermented black beans, bamboo leaves, burdock, gardenia, platycodon, etc.

Qi deficiency colds should be treated mainly with drugs that invigorate qi and relieve exterior symptoms, such as Codonopsis pilosula, licorice, Poria cocos, Perilla leaf, Pueraria root, Peucedanum chinense, Pinellia ternata, tangerine peel, Citrus aurantium, Platycodon grandiflorum, etc.

………………

In addition to the above species, the ingredients should be added or subtracted according to the concomitant symptoms. For example, if the patient has sore throat, add isatis root, puffball, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Achyranthes bidentata, etc.; if the patient has cough with a lot of phlegm, add apricot kernel, Fritillaria thunbergii, Peucedanum chinense, etc.; if the patient has yellow phlegm, add Scutellaria baicalensis, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Trichosanthes kirilowii peel, etc.; if the patient has severe headache, add Angelica dahurica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, etc.

After registering all the medicines clearly, I copied down all the types again and marked out the medicines that could be used for all the symptoms.

After registering everything, I remembered that in addition to these medicines, I could also use ordinary and simple diet therapy.

For example, boil scallion whites and ginger in warm water and drink it; boil ginger and brown sugar in warm water and drink it; boil cabbage roots and scallion roots in warm water and drink it (two-root soup); boil ginger, perilla leaves, and brown sugar in warm water and drink it, etc.

Seeing that her hands were getting more and more sore as she wrote more, Lin Sitian put down her pen and shook her hands, checking it over. She felt that she had written everything she should and shouldn't have written, and she could add the rest when she remembered.

So he carefully put his small notebook and pen into the drawer of the scale. After sorting them out roughly, he went to the yard to look through his medicines and dry them.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Lin Sitian went to the kitchen and prepared to do the small chores she could do, such as washing vegetables, washing pots, boiling water, etc., so that Bai Zhiqing would feel a little more relaxed when he came back.
