I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 293 - 259: Frequently Swallowing Saliva Can Replenish the Kidneys

"The situation with your father is indeed a bit complicated. First of all, the paralysis caused by external injury more than a decade ago caused significant loss of qi, blood, and bodily fluids. Although he was rescued at that time, the depletion of Kidney Essence wasn't replenished, which is the main reason for the paralysis. Another issue is the serious injury to the Du Meridian, which affects the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians. The lack of sensation in the lower body is largely related to this."

"Another issue is his mindset. After that injury, your father's mindset has never been properly adjusted. He often likes to lose his temper, sometimes he might vent to you all, but most of the time, he keeps it all inside, which hurts the liver. The liver is responsible for the smooth flow of qi, and when this flow is disrupted, it affects sleep. Poor sleep leads to abnormal functioning of the Spleen and Stomach, followed by constipation."

"When excretion becomes a problem, stool retention in the large intestine can lead to remnants, which in turn affects the lungs. In simpler terms, your father's current condition can be described in one sentence: the Five Viscera are all in disarray!"

"Therefore, if we want to fully restore your father's normal speech levels from before, it's challenging and quite difficult. I can only try. If acupuncture can barely open his tongue opening, then it's treatable. If there's no response, I can only offer my apologies to you all!"

"As for the paralysis... I will do my best!"

Lu Jiu is not certain if he can regulate paralysis from external injury, because although Jiang Shaoyi's Du Meridian is damaged, his spinal bones have not fractured, which is a blessing within misfortune.

Generally speaking, if trauma leads to spinal damage causing paralysis, as long as it's not the third vertebra that is fractured, other places are still salvageable.

The position of the third vertebra is exactly at the Shenzhu Acupoint.

Therefore, the paralysis from Jiang Shaoyi's traumatic injury is not incurable.

It's just that Lu Jiu is temporarily unsure if he can replenish Kidney Essence, so he can't make any bold promises.

What's more, Jiang Shaoyi has been paralyzed for over a decade. The meridians, muscles, and bones in the lower body have degenerated significantly. Even if Kidney Essence is replenished, generating more qi and blood to nourish them gradually would take a considerable amount of time.

Even if Lu Jiu can manage a cure, it will definitely take years to achieve.

Upon hearing Lu Jiu's words, Jiang Xiaoquan feels reassured in his heart.

He knows that for Lu Jiu to reach this point shows he's not entirely without confidence.

Just this is enough!

"Dr. Lu, by all means, treat him. I won't ask more questions. Whatever you say, I'll definitely follow!" Jiang Xiaoquan resolves to fully cooperate with Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu nods, "I'll start with acupuncture. I need your help with two acupoints!"

Me?

Jiang Xiaoquan is taken aback.

But he doesn't question it, "Alright!"

Lu Jiu then takes out the finest needle, "Alright, have your father open his mouth, then stick out his tongue. You pull his tongue out with your hand. Don't use too much force, but don't use none either. I need to prick two acupoints under his tongue for bloodletting."

Without another word, Jiang Xiaoquan signals his father to open his mouth and then grabs hold of his tongue.

Yue~~

When Jiang Shaoyi's tongue gets pinched by Jiang Xiaoquan, he can't help but retch twice and instinctively pulls his tongue back.

"Sir, bear with it for a bit more!" Lu Jiu says.

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyi suppresses the nausea and lets Jiang Xiaoquan hold his tongue again.

Lu Jiu quickly uses the finest needle to prick and bleed the Jinjin Acupoint and Jade Liquid Acupoint under the tongue.

Before mastering idioms, Lu Jiu learned about these two acupoints. After studying Golden Fluid and Jade Liquid, he couldn't hold back his laughter when textbooks described them as some kind of elixir or precious beverage.

In fact, Golden Fluid and Jade Liquid initially referred to the names of the two acupoints under the tongue, which are specifically responsible for producing saliva.

But it's not wrong to call this saliva a precious beverage either.

Because frequently swallowing saliva can replenish the kidneys.

In our body's organ structure, the small intestine is below, and the large intestine is above.

When food enters the small intestine, residues and water from digestion will enter the large intestine. Since the small intestine belongs to fire and is below the large intestine, fire will evaporate the water in the large intestine, sending the qi to the lungs. As it rises into the mouth, it forms saliva.

This saliva must be swallowed because it is bodily fluid. When swallowed, it goes directly into the kidneys, storing and transforming into essence!

This is the origin of water arising from gold!

Thus, don't think saliva is dirty. For our body, it doesn't just play a digestive role. Once you've formed a habit of spitting saliva out every day, over time, you will become weak.

Because the ability to produce saliva reflects normal bodily circulation, by intentionally breaking this cycle and not allowing saliva to enter the kidneys, you're essentially doing harm to yourself.

It's like why many diabetic patients feel thirsty.

It's because there's less water in the body, and water is both bodily fluid and saliva.

The primary characteristic of diabetic patients is actually that the process of forming saliva is disrupted, not just high blood sugar.

Because in the human body, bodily fluid, qi, blood, Kidney Essence, are essentially the same thing. However, during the circulation process, at different times and places, their functions change, which is why these names are used to denote their functions.

This is why White Tiger Ginseng Decoction can treat diabetes?

Because it can invigorate qi and generate fluid!

The fundamental issue for diabetics is a reduced total body fluid, causing the illusion of high blood sugar.

White Tiger Ginseng Decoction restores the body's function of producing fluids, which repairs the broken cycle of generating water from gold, increasing the overall body fluid.

That's why none of the ingredients in White Tiger Ginseng Decoction lower blood sugar, yet after consumption, a diabetic's blood sugar returns to a normal range.

The Jinjin and Jade Liquid Acupoints pricked by Lu Jiu, along with Chengjiang Acupoint, can actually treat diabetes.

However, at the moment, he aims to treat this gentleman's sealed tongue opening.

After releasing blood with a few needles, Lu Jiu then lets Jiang Xiaoquan release his hold, proceeding to prick at the Lianquan Acupoint.

Lu Jiu's needling is fast, and there's almost no hesitation in his movements.

Each time the needle is applied with extreme precision.

But it's different for those watching.

Seeing those needles, longer than a finger, being placed on a person's body is somewhat eerie.

Nonetheless, seeing Lu Jiu's treatment also filled the other patients with anticipation.

A child with an ear issue was just treated successfully; will this older gentleman who can't speak also recover right away?

Watching as Jiang Shaoyi has needles on his face, head, and hands, everyone's attention is particularly focused.

Outside the consultation room, Zhou Tongyuan is meticulously documenting Lu Jiu's treatment process.

From the moment he started diagnosing until now.

The equipment's been running continuously to avoid missing any crucial footage.

As Lu Jiu finishes inserting the last needle, Zhou Tongyuan immediately zooms in for a close-up.

In front of the camera, Lu Jiu gently pats Jiang Shaoyi's shoulder, "Alright, sir, try to speak…"
