NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 35: Moxibustion

Oden wailed instantly:

"Brother, say something before you fuck me!!!"

Jiang Ming patted his big shoulders vigorously:

"Wake up, what are you screaming for, does it hurt?"

"It seems... not painful? My shoulder hurts a little."

“I took the photo.”

"."

"This is acupuncture. It can clear the meridians between your knee cartilage and meniscus. Don't move."

"OK!"

Oden was quite shocked when he looked down and saw that there was no blood after the needle was inserted into the skin of his knee. Not to mention him, Sean also didn't understand it at all. This was unscientific. How could there be no bleeding?

Jiang Ming not only did not pull it out immediately, but after inserting the silver needle, he circled the acupuncture point several times to thoroughly open up the meridian.

"WTF! It feels so damn good!"

Oden was about to swear, but the next second, the sore, swollen and slightly painful feeling in his knee made him instantly addicted.

This feeling of finding the pain points and addressing them is really addictive.

And this is just one of the points.

"It will be more comfortable next time."

After seeing that Oden no longer had any small movements, Jiang Ming continued to insert needles into the Zusanli, Xuehai, Xiyan, Heding, Yanglingquan, Yinlingquan and other acupoints.
Because Oden's uneven legs for many years caused his cartilage strain to be very stubborn, Jiang Ming targeted more acupoints this time, and in a flash, his right knee was full of needles.

During the examination before the consultation, Jiang Ming found that the vein flow on his left side was normal, so there was no need for acupuncture.

Jiang Ming also had stitches on both ankles. Basketball players like Oden who play inside will have more or less wear and tear on their ankles, but he is only 19 years old now and will not suffer from injuries like those old centers in the league.

"how do you feel?"

When Sean saw Oden being stabbed with so many needles by Jiang Ming, his scalp numbed.

"It hurts and it's fun, and some places are itchy."

Oden was smiling foolishly with happiness, and at this time Jiang Muyan also stole some garlic seeds from the Trail Blazers cafeteria. She rubbed her eyes when she saw this scene.

It doesn't seem real!

She was better than Sean because she had learned about this thing from books after all, and she didn't feel like she had a complete blind spot in knowledge like Sean did.

She was also more "shameless" and went straight up to ask Jiang Ming if she could take a needle and have a look.

"Okay, just don't insert it towards us. It will still bleed if you insert it in the wrong direction."

Jiang Ming handed an acupuncture needle in his hand to Jiang Muyan. Jiang Muyan looked at the needle, which was shining under the light and seemed to be made of stainless steel, as if it were a treasure.

Jiang Ming motioned for Oden to lie down:

"You have thick flesh. Lie down for 20 minutes and I will remove the needle."

Then he signaled Sean to peel the garlic, and he went to get the moxa sticks and then used moxa to apply moxibustion to Oden's loose pores.

When Jiang Muyan carefully looked at the place where Jiang Ming stabbed Oden with the needle, she suddenly realized:

"No wonder there's no bleeding. Jiang Ming, you've perfectly avoided his nerves and blood vessels!"

Jiang Ming nodded:

"Yes, if there is bleeding, it means my technique is not good enough. This is also the most basic sign to distinguish whether an acupuncturist is good or not."

For example, before I went to Sanqing Mountain, I often pierced my blood vessels when practicing acupuncture in school, so I gave up the acupuncture course.

After all, if there is bleeding, the patient will not believe you. If the bleeding forms a hematoma, it will be more troublesome, and it will take several days for the local hematoma to subside. But now it is different. Jiang Ming knows everything about acupuncture points, human blood vessels, nerve distribution, and organ locations.

If he hadn't been worried about Oden getting scared when inserting and moving the needle, he could have hit the acupuncture points even with his eyes closed.

Jiang Muyan handed the acupuncture needle to Xiao En who had just finished peeling garlic for study while Xiao En was looking at her hesitantly. She smiled and said:

"Are you indirectly praising yourself?"

"Oh, if I were only half-baked, would I dare to attack this future billionaire in front of me?"

Jiang Ming smiled and lit the alcohol lamp and said.

Oden was also flattered by Jiang Ming's praise. Indeed, if he had not been injured and continued to play normally, he would have definitely received a maximum salary in the future. With the current labor-management contract, it is indeed only a matter of time before he earns 100 million yuan in the future.

Sean is indeed a genius. After picking up the needle and examining it for a while, he discovered the clue:
"This is a sterile filiform needle. It has high strength and hardness. The needle is thin, straight and smooth. The thinner the needle, the less damage it may cause to the capillary network. This should be the principle."

Jiang Ming:

"I don't know if it works or not, but this is something our ancestors passed down. This kind of needle has been used since ancient times, and it doesn't cause bleeding, and it's still used today."

“Traditional Chinese medicine is awesome and profound!”

"I'll give you a few books to read later. Give me the garlic."

"it is good!"

The other three people in the medical room looked at Jiang Ming's novel operation again, and saw Jiang Ming taking out a dark gray strip of object that looked like ancient coffee.

Then it really turned slowly around the alcohol lamp a few times and lit up like a big smoke, and the smoke began to float up.

Oden and Sean felt a jolt in their hearts:
"Jiang, this isn't contraband, is it?"

Any American who sees this thing and the method of operation will think of opium and drugs. As a professional athlete, Oden is even more vigilant about this. You know, if he is found to have used stimulants, the NBA will fine him and suspend him.

"No, it's very healthy, and it's for external use, not for you to inhale."

"Of course, you can smell it, Yishen."

As Jiang Ming spoke, he blew on the moxa stick with his mouth, causing the top of the moxa stick to burn fully. Everyone in the infirmary soon smelled a natural and refreshing fragrance.

"This is?"

"It tastes like mugwort leaves. Mugwort leaves are a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. Mugwort sticks are made from it."

After smelling it, Jiang Ming felt that his late-night fatigue was relieved a lot and he felt refreshed.

He also got these moxa sticks from his junior fellow student who was studying for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. They were the experimental results of his junior fellow student's final thesis. Theoretically, the effect would be better than any moxa sticks sold on the market. After all, the precision and care put into the work cannot be compared with the moxa sticks manufactured on an assembly line.

"It smells so good!"

“It smells so good!”

"Of course, this is mugwort, which has many uses in traditional Chinese medicine. I'll use mugwort to boil eggs for you next time I have a chance."

Oden really looks like a 19-year-old kid at this moment: "So awesome? I really want to try it."

While feeling curious, Jiang Muyan returned to the main topic of medicine and asked, "But how do you use this? Can you just smell it?"

"Come, I'll teach you how to use it."

While Jiang Ming was removing the needle from Oden, he gestured to Jiang Muyan to take the moxa stick.

"it is good."

Seeing that Jiang Ming actually wanted to teach her, Jiang Muyan quickly half-knelt down and took the burning moxa stick from Jiang Ming's hand. The pleasant scent of lavender mixed with the scent of moxa came at the same time, making Jiang Ming couldn't help but glance sideways. Apart from anything else, the profile of this Korean girl is just like in Korean dramas, it's really beautiful.

But sorry, this is going to be a lot of torture for this little beauty.
"Don't agree too soon. This is going to be a long battle."

PS: Brothers, if you want to do moxibustion, you can do it at home. Going to a store to do it is very cost-effective.
