The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 385 - 218_2

So, they never dared to fall ill, let alone take a rest during their monthly cycles.

"We are women, and women must cherish their bodies even more."

Chun Nuan was pregnant herself and suffered from the discomforts of pregnancy.

With each passing day, as the child grew within her, she deeply experienced various discomforts.

It’s said that raising a child makes one understand the grace of parents; Chun Nuan truly understood the difficulties of being a mother.

Girls like Ding Xiang would all become mothers one day, and being physically weak would make motherhood even harder.

She had always strived to alleviate the pains of women’s ailments, naturally placing women’s health as the top priority.

It’s said that a strong mother means a strong child; what women need to do is nourish themselves well from a young age.

In this era, a woman’s inability to bear children was a serious issue, and more often than not, it was due to a cold womb.

Especially for girls from humble backgrounds, who had to work hard from a young age, ate poorly, and didn’t dress warmly, when they got their periods, they didn’t observe any taboos and would harm their bodies. It wasn’t until they got married that severe problems would be discovered—they couldn’t conceive because of a cold womb, and then they would be rejected by their husband’s family, ending up with a miserable fate. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Chun Nuan prescribed medicine for Bai He.

However, there was one action that left everyone puzzled.

She instructed Bai He to sit on a sun-heated stone.

"The big stone at the door, sit there for a while. When the stone is no longer hot, switch to another stone, and sit for about half an hour."

Bai He couldn’t comprehend it, but she still went outside to sit on the stone as instructed.

"Why is Bai He sitting on that stone in such hot weather?"

Aunt Zhong was surprised to see this, thinking Bai He made a mistake and was being punished by the young mistress.

"She has a stomachache, and the young mistress told her to sit on the stone to cure it."

What?

When Aunt Zhong heard that Bai He had menstrual cramps and that the young mistress was skilled at treating women’s ailments, she was half convinced.

Could sitting on a sun-heated stone really help with menstrual cramps?

Even Aunt Zhong, who was over forty, didn’t believe it.

She had never heard of such a method for healing.

After half an hour, Bai He was feeling a bit dizzy from the heat, her face flushed.

"Go bring Bai He back."

Ding Xiang and Bai Zhi quickly went to assist her.

"How do you feel? Does your stomach still hurt?"

"I just feel a bit dizzy and hot. My stomach... oh, it seems my stomach hasn’t hurt for quite a while."

"See, tomorrow you can sit on the stone again, continuously for five days. If it’s too sunny, you can sit for less time, cool off, and then sit again. But remember, it must be a sun-heated stone to be effective."

"Is it really that magical and effective?"

Aunt Zhong asked Bai He.

"Really, I genuinely don’t feel any stomach pain anymore, and my stomach feels warm."

"Young mistress, why is that?"

Aunt Zhong herself experienced stomach pain during her periods, so she immediately asked the reason.

"It’s the same effect as applying a hot water compress to the stomach. During menstrual pain, you can use a hot water cloth on your stomach, which will feel much better."

So that’s it.

Aunt Zhong thought she might go sit on a sun-heated stone tomorrow as well.

Oh, right, the young mistress is skilled in treating women’s illnesses, and Aunt Zhong thought of a niece from her maternal family.

Married for three years without children, she was despised by her mother-in-law and her son was asked to divorce her.

However, her niece’s husband was a good man, very affectionate, saying he would rather not have children and stay with his wife, insisting on not divorcing.

The result of the conflict between mother and son was that her niece, who couldn’t conceive, was mistreated.

The mother-in-law would make sarcastic remarks, saying she was a chicken that doesn’t lay eggs, taking up space without producing anything, intentionally preventing her son from having offspring...

Her niece was afraid of being divorced but didn’t want to endure such treatment at her in-laws.

Living in constant anxiety, with no way out, if not for her husband continuously supporting her, she wouldn’t have survived.

She was a dear niece, and upon hearing about the young mistress’s incredible skills, Aunt Zhong resolutely sought out Chun Nuan.

"I can see her," Chun Nuan said. "Have her come tomorrow morning, preferably with her husband, to seek consultation together."

"Young mistress, what do you mean?"

In such matters, it’s best for both the man and woman to come together for consultation, addressing whoever has the issue.

"Young mistress, could it be possible for men to have issues too?"

Aunt Zhong didn’t know this and was very surprised to ask.

It’s said that the man is the bull, the earth is the land, and only if the land is infertile will seeds not sprout. How could it have anything to do with the bull as well?
