Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 150 Fever and Cold

Afterwards, Lu Qingqing showed the herbs to everyone.

Please have everyone write down which herbs to use for which symptoms.

We'll select a few people to answer in a bit.

Everyone crowded around to examine the herbs closely.

He muttered to himself, afraid of remembering it wrong.

Lu Qingqing walked up to Li Xiuming and asked:

"Brother, what do you think?"

Li Xiuming smiled slightly and replied:

"Qingqing, what you said was very insightful."

It's easy to understand, and I'm sure the villagers will benefit from it.

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Qingqing's eyes as she said:

"I am very happy to receive such praise from my brother."

I just hope this can really help my fellow villagers.

Li Xiuming nodded, his eyes filled with appreciation:

"In my opinion, this is a good move."

If this could be widely adopted, it would be a blessing for the people.

Lu Qingqing replied:

"Qingqing thinks so too."

However, for it to be widely adopted...

This will likely not be an easy task.

Li Xiuming seemed to be deep in thought.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself:

Qingqing said yes.

To popularize this common knowledge nationwide,

But that's easier said than done.

Oh well, never mind.

Let's think about how to improve things in the small county under our jurisdiction first.

He sighed softly.

A hint of determination shone in his eyes.

He secretly made up his mind.

It must be on this land.

We strive to ensure that more people benefit from this useful knowledge.

Subsequently,

Lu Qingqing then asked a question on the symptoms related to the herbal combinations mentioned earlier.

She was initially a little worried about whether people would remember her.

To her surprise,

All of them answered correctly.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"It's great that everyone remembers so clearly!"

Sister Liu said excitedly:

"Qingqing, you taught me so well."

We will naturally remember it well.

Lu Qingqing looked at everyone's energetic appearance,

My heart is filled with joy.

I also talked to everyone about the herbs used for fever and colds.

"During a common fever, a person's body temperature will rise."

You will usually feel your body getting hot.

It may be accompanied by facial flushing and burning sensation on the skin.

You will feel tired and weak all over, and your limbs will ache.

I can't muster the energy to do anything.

My head will feel foggy and dizzy.

Thinking becomes less clear.

You may experience a headache.

Some people may also experience dry mouth and throat.

I have a sore throat and always feel the urge to drink water to relieve it.

My appetite will also decrease, and I won't want to eat.

It can even cause nausea and vomiting.

If the fever is severe

Other possible symptoms include chills and shortness of breath.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said to everyone:

"If you have the above-mentioned common fever symptoms..."

Bupleurum and honeysuckle are two herbs that can be used.

Let's talk about Bupleurum first.

Bupleurum has a straight rhizome and slender leaves.

It can be found in fields, on grassy slopes, and in other places.

Bupleurum has the effects of harmonizing the exterior and interior, and dispersing and reducing fever.

Look at the honeysuckle again; its flowers are a mix of gold and silver.

It's especially beautiful.

Honeysuckle typically climbs on bushes.

It can clear heat and detoxify, and dispel wind-heat.

It is very effective in reducing fever.

When people are looking for these two herbs,

You can pay more attention to the growth environment I mentioned.

This will make them easier to find.

"As for the usage and dosage..."

Let's talk about Bupleurum first.

When Bupleurum is used to treat fever,

It is usually decocted and taken orally.

The usual dosage is around 3 to 10 grams.

but,

The specific dosage needs to be adjusted according to the individual's condition and physical constitution.

Honeysuckle can be decocted and taken orally.

It can also be brewed with boiling water as a tea substitute.

When decocting, the dosage is approximately 6 to 15 grams.

If it's a tea substitute, just take an appropriate amount.

But please note,

Whether you use Bupleurum or Honeysuckle,

Always follow your doctor's instructions; do not self-medicate.

Lu Qingqing was afraid she had said too much.

Since no one could remember, they asked with a smile:

"I've said so much, can everyone remember it?"

Let's first make a note of these two symptoms today.

Should I also talk about colds and flu?

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted:

"Qingqing, tell everyone about catching a cold too."

Let's learn more at once.

Lu Qingqing smiled and nodded, saying:

"Alright, since everyone is so eager to learn..."

Then I'll continue by talking about colds caused by wind.

A cold caused by wind and cold often manifests as a fear of cold.

Wearing more clothes doesn't help much.

It is often accompanied by headaches, and the head feels tight.

You may experience muscle aches and pains throughout your body, and your joints may also be painful.

She also keeps sneezing and has a runny nose.

The phlegm coughed up is white and thin.

Perilla leaves are a commonly used herb for treating colds caused by wind and cold.

The leaves of perilla are ovate with serrated edges.

It mostly grows by roadsides, in fields and other places.

Perilla leaves have the effects of relieving exterior syndromes, dispelling cold, regulating qi, and harmonizing the stomach.

It can be used to make soup.

The dosage is approximately 5 to 10 grams.

In addition, ginger is also a good choice.

Everyone is familiar with ginger; it's a staple in most kitchens.

Ginger has the effects of relieving exterior syndromes and dispelling cold, warming the middle jiao and stopping vomiting.

It can be boiled in water for drinking, or added in appropriate amounts when cooking.

Please remember the characteristics and uses of these herbs.

As soon as Lu Qingqing finished speaking, someone asked:

"Qingqing, didn't you use perilla leaves to treat your cough just now?"

Why use perilla leaves for a cold?

Lu Qingqing patiently explained:

"Perilla leaves have many health benefits."

Although it can be used for coughs, it is not suitable for treating colds caused by wind.

Perilla leaves primarily function to relieve exterior syndromes and dispel cold.

It helps us expel the cold from our bodies.

Although both use perilla leaves,

However, the specific symptoms they target and their main effects are different.

The man seemed to be deep in thought, his brows slightly furrowed.

He scratched his head and said:

"Oh dear, I still don't quite understand."

Lu Qingqing smiled and explained further:

Let me put it this way,

Just like this perilla leaf is a versatile ingredient.

When coughing,

It's like a little guardian specifically designed to treat a sore throat;

When you have a cold,

It became a warrior that drove away the cold.

Although it's the one doing all the work...

However, the direction of the force is different.

Does that make sense to you a little?

The man immediately said, embarrassed:

"I understand, I understand, so that's how it is."

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Good that you understand."

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Let's work together to understand this knowledge.

Then someone in the crowd said:

"Qingqing, you understand, you understand everything."

We don't really recognize this herb yet.

Lu Qingqing clapped her hands and said:

"That's easy."

Next, I'll take you to find some of these herbs nearby.

Let everyone see the growing environment of the medicinal herbs with their own eyes.

Let's deepen everyone's understanding of herbs.

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Lin Feng saw that it was almost noon and was worried that Qingqing would get tired.

He said to everyone:

"Big guy,

Qingqing told us so much about herbal medicine today.

Everyone, don't forget to write this down when you get back.

Look, it's getting late.

We'll continue the lesson tomorrow.

Someone asked:

"Qingqing,

When are you going to take us to learn about medicinal herbs?

I can't wait any longer.

Lu Qingqing smiled and replied:

"Everyone, don't worry."

"I'll take you there after we finish class tomorrow."

Everyone nodded in satisfaction.

They discussed what they had learned that day.

They slowly dispersed.

Lin Yunlan walked to Lu Qingqing's side.

Looking into Lu Qingqing's eyes, he said:

"Qingqing,

You looked so beautiful when you were lecturing to everyone.

Like a teacher in a school.

Wang Xiuxiu overheard this.

He burst into laughter.

A blush rose to Lu Qingqing's face.

She scolded him:

"Yunlan, you're always teasing me."

Lin Yunlan quickly waved his hand:

“I’m not joking, I’m telling the truth.”

Wang Xiuxiu interjected with a smile:

"Qingqing, what the third brother said is right."

You were really amazing just now.

I was completely engrossed in listening.

Chunlan and the others chimed in:

"Miss, we were also engrossed in listening just now."

You explained it very well.

We have also learned what you just mentioned.

Lu Qingqing blushed slightly at the compliment.

She lowered her head slightly:

"Please stop praising me."

I'm just sharing what I know with everyone.

Shuang'er's hand was being held by Chunlan the whole time.

She said to Lu Qingqing in a coquettish tone:

"Mother, let's go home quickly."

Shuang'er is a little hungry; she learned too much today.

Shuang'er should eat more.

Lu Qingqing affectionately patted Shuang'er's head.

Said:

Okay, let's go home now.

Make something delicious for my Shuang'er.

Chunlan also smiled and said:

"Young Miss,"

You've learned a lot of useful knowledge today.

Shuang'er blinked and said:

"Sister Chunlan, wait until I've eaten..."

Think about it again carefully.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

Then they prepared to walk home together.
