This book adopts the style of poetry and discusses maintenance, diagnosis and treatment, medication taboos, etc. The language is concise and profound. It points out that when observing a child's complexion, one should pay attention to the relationship between each part of the face and the internal organs. For example, the left cheek belongs to the liver, the right cheek belongs to the lungs, the heaven belongs to the heart fire, the corners of the earth belong to the kidney water, the nose belongs to the spleen earth, the tongue belongs to the heart shoots, and the eyes belong to the liver fluid, etc. The book points out that babies are prone to deficiency and excess, and the conditioning should be balanced, and supplements and diarrhea should not be overdone. Laxatives such as croton and morning glory should be avoided, and gold, stone, pungent heat, and bitter cold medicines should be used with caution or sparingly. In treatment, attention should be paid to priorities. When the pathogenic factors have not yet lingered, the disease should be treated quickly. If the disease has become severe, treatment should be slow. Prescription drugs should be used to stop the disease immediately, and save the root cause first.
Reader comments
This book is very practical! I particularly like the content on the treatment of children's diseases, such as how to use evaporative heat, and the prescriptions for different diseases, which are very detailed. I remembered that my mother was always worried when she was sick when I was a child. I wish I had this book at that time. And some of the characters mentioned in the book, such as Wan Quan, made me think that he must be a very powerful Chinese medicine doctor. In short, this is a valuable Chinese medicine book, very helpful for people like me who are interested in Chinese medicine.
