Chapter 188 Good Idea
Zhang Jian thought for a moment, frowned and said: "When it comes to the use of medicinal materials, the patient's needs should be the first priority. If the wrong choice is made, it will cause harm."
"That's right." Chen Fang nodded in agreement, lowered her head to look through the pharmacopoeia in her hand, and said softly, "Thinking of some of the patients with heart diseases before, if we can calm their anger, it will definitely help a lot of people."
"Heart disease is a good direction." Zhang Jian also nodded seriously, and then his thoughts gradually became clear. "Why not use snow lotus first, it can clear the heart and improve eyesight, and then add unicorn lotus, which can not only reduce heart fire, but also help patients recover their spirits."
Chen Fang smiled and clasped her hands together, saying, "This way, the patient's body and mind can be relieved. It is indeed a good idea. However, how can we ensure that the combination of the two is the best?"
"This is a process that requires careful research." Zhang Jian looked up and out the window. The sunlight shone through the mist into the pharmacy, making their faces look particularly soft. He continued, "I suggest that we first master the dosage of the two herbs, and then look for some successful examples in historical documents."
"It contains not only pharmacology, but also the wisdom and experience of doctors." Chen Fang said seriously. She was full of expectations for this attempt at using medicinal materials.
Zhang Jian smiled slightly, with an eager emotion in his eyes: "Such exploration can help us better understand the characteristics of medicinal materials and improve our medical skills."
"I'll go get the herbs right away." Chen Fang stood up. Although she spoke softly, her heart was already in turmoil. "Please prepare here for a while. I need to spend some time looking for the snow lotus and the unicorn lotus."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Jian watched her leave, and suddenly he was moved. At this moment, they seemed to be no longer just a drug dealer and a doctor, but fellow travelers on the same boat, pursuing the dream of hope together.
Not long after, Chen Fang returned with two fresh herbs in his hands, his face full of relish. "Mr. Zhang, look, I found these two herbs. They are bright in color and have a very strong smell."
"Very good." Zhang Jian took the herbs, observed them carefully, and looked up. "Now we need to prepare the test equipment to ensure that the proportions of the ingredients are appropriate."
Chen Fang immediately busied herself around the medicine shop, looking for a clean chopping knife and mortar. From time to time, she could hear the sound of friction, and her figure seemed particularly agile in the thick aroma of medicine.
"Come and take a look at this." Zhang Jian suddenly shouted, pointing to an ancient pharmacopoeia on the table, with a look of joy on his face. "This book records the case of the efficacy of combining snow lotus grass and unicorn lotus, and it describes in detail the dosage and method of use."
"It's really useful!" Chen Fang applauded, "We can conduct experiments strictly according to these ratios."
Zhang Jian turned the page and read carefully, his voice low and firm: "It is mentioned here that the dosage of snow lotus grass is about three grams each time, and the dosage of unicorn lotus is one gram to ensure that they complement each other."
After a short silence, Chen Fang and Zhang Jian looked at each other, and they seemed to have reached a consensus. They understood that this was a brand new starting point, and also the beginning of infinite possibilities.
"Then let's experiment with this ratio." Chen Fang said excitedly, with a tremor in her voice, "I have always wanted to see the miracle of combining medicinal materials."
Zhang Jian smiled slightly, his eyes showing determination: "We must not only try, but also succeed and bring out the potential of medicinal materials to the fullest."
"Regulate the liver?" Chen Fang was startled and frowned slightly, then turned to Zhang Jian, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of this? The impact of liver health on the overall body cannot be underestimated."
Zhang Jian thought for a moment and said softly, "Indeed, the liver is an important organ for detoxification and metabolism. Drugs that regulate the liver can indirectly improve many diseases. However, we need to be cautious when choosing specific medicinal materials."
Seeing that the two were hesitant, Li Yu quickly added, "I heard in the market that chrysanthemum can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and combined with Citrus aurantium, it can help eliminate stagnation. The combination of the two has extraordinary therapeutic effects."
"Chrysanthemum?" Chen Fang's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Yes, this medicinal herb can not only clear the liver, but also relieve eye discomfort. Add to that the Citrus aurantium, it can both regulate qi and eliminate stagnation, it is indeed a good choice." She was a little excited and a smile broke out on her face.
Zhang Jian said seriously, "However, the combination of medicinal materials should not only consider their respective advantages, but also the interaction between them. Only if the flowers and fruits are properly matched can the best effect be achieved." He thought in a low voice, as if deducing the formula in his mind.
"I understand. What you mean is that although they both have their own advantages, if the latter counteracts the former, it will be counterproductive." Li Yu nodded seriously and said, "Then we might as well add some herbs that have liver-nourishing and liver-protecting properties, such as Veronica."
"Varietyna does have the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression." Chen Fang added, leaning sideways towards Li Yu, her eyes full of curiosity, "But we must pay attention to the ratio of these three herbs to achieve the ideal effect?"
Zhang Jian flipped through the pharmacopoeia he had found and said seriously, "According to the ancient method, take three grams each of chrysanthemum and fructus aurantii, and two grams of veronica. This ensures that the three complement each other."
"This needs further verification." Li Yu smiled slightly, picked up the feather pen beside him, and began to write on the paper. He murmured, "Such a configuration will definitely attract many customers and help more people regulate their bodies."
Looking at Li Yu's busy demeanor, Chen Fang couldn't help but admire him in her heart: "You are such a far-sighted businessman, able to combine medicine and business so closely."
"Miss Chen, you're too kind." Li Yu chuckled, put down his pen, and said without any modesty, "In my opinion, a businessman serves the public. I can provide effective drugs at a reasonable price. This is my goal."
Zhang Jian became serious: "That makes sense. Business and medicine are not contradictory, but complementary. If we extract effective medicinal materials and use them reasonably, we can benefit more people."
"I am full of confidence in the future." Li Yu's eyes were firm. "If our first attempt yields significant results, I will try my best to promote it so that more people will know about it and accept it."
Chen Fang took a deep breath, with excitement sparkling in her eyes: "Then I'll go prepare the herbs, let's get started right away!"
"I'll go help." Li Yu immediately followed, and the two walked towards the storage room. Zhang Jian watched silently from behind with a smile on his face.
In front of the medicine cabinet, Chen Fang carefully took out the chrysanthemums, sprinkled them neatly, and then took out the vacuum-wrapped Citrus aurantium and Veronica officinalis. The faint aroma of medicine wafted in the air, which was invigorating.
"Here are the medicinal herbs. Let's start grinding them and then mixing them according to the proportions," she said excitedly.
"Slow down, observe the quality of the herbs separately first." Li Yu reminded, with rigor in his eyes.
Chen Fang immediately stopped and carefully patted each herb to check its color and smell. Zhang Jian also approached, stared at the chrysanthemum and said, "It's smooth and bright in color, and has a long-lasting fragrance. It seems to be a top-notch choice."
