At the beginning of 2021, when the spring was cold, 53-year-old Liu Yan sat in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands and staring blankly. Her sister Liu Jing sat next to her and gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Sister, you've lost weight lately." Liu Jing said distressedly, "Is there too much pressure at work?" "
Liu Yan sighed, "Sister, I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I'm still very tired when I wake up." The doctor said it might be menopausal syndrome and advised me to take medication. "
At this time, Liu Xin walked in from the kitchen with fruits, and when she heard her aunt's words, she couldn't help asking, "Auntie, what kind of medicine does the Western doctor prescribe?" "
"It's like an antidepressant." Liu Yan frowned and said, "But I heard that the side effects are quite big, and I'm a little scared." "
Liu Jing's eyes lit up, "Sister, why don't you try Chinese medicine conditioning?" The Gui Spleen Pill I usually eat is very good, which can not only calm the nerves but also replenish qi. "
Liu Xin was a little worried, "Mom, is Chinese medicine really effective?" "
"You kid," Liu Jing said with a smile, "Chinese medicine is broad and profound, how can it not be effective?" "
After some discussion, Liu Yan decided to try to take Gui Spleen Pills. The next day, she went to the pharmacy and bought some back.
"Auntie, I checked the information," Liu Xin said with his mobile phone, "Gui Spleen Pill does have the effect of strengthening the spleen, but you should also pay attention to the dosage." "
Liu Yan nodded, "Thank you, Xinxin." I will take it according to the instructions. "
A month later, over the weekend, the whole family was together again. Liu Yan's complexion looked better, but she still looked a little tired.
"Sister, how do you feel?" Liu Jing asked with concern.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "The quality of sleep is indeed much better, but it is still easy to get tired during the day." "
"Traditional Chinese medicine has a slow effect, but the effect is long-lasting," Liu Jing encouraged, "you have to persevere." "
Liu Xin looked at her aunt thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Auntie, I found that you have participated in more community activities recently than before." "
Liu Yan's eyes lit up, "Yes, I feel much better, so I want to go out more." "
"That may be the Spleen Returning Pill working." Liu Xin said with a smile, but then frowned again, "But Auntie, do you feel dry mouth?" "
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?" I do feel that way. "
Liu Xin said with some concern: "When I checked the information, I saw that this may be a side effect of the drug. Auntie, should we consult a doctor again? "
Liu Jing interjected: "Xinxin, don't be too nervous. It takes time to recuperate with Chinese medicine, and this small symptom is normal. "
Liu Yan looked at her sister and niece and showed a relieved smile. Although she was still feeling a little unwell, the care of her family made her feel warm. She decided to continue to take Gui Spleen Pills, and at the same time pay more attention to her physical changes.
Three months passed quietly, and spring blossomed. Liu Yan's mental state improved significantly, and her face was rosy again. However, she couldn't help but frown as she stood on the scale.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Liu Xin asked with concern.
Liu Yan sighed, "I've gained two pounds more." "
When Liu Jing heard it, she smiled and said, "Sister, this is a good thing!" You used to be so thin, but now you look so good, and you are even more blessed to be fat. "
Liu Xin showed a worried look, "Mom, my aunt is already a little fat, and if she gains weight, it may bring new health problems." "
At this moment, Liu Yan's mobile phone rang. After she answered the phone, her face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong, sister?" Liu Jing asked.
"The hospital called," Liu Yan replied, "that the results of my physical examination the day before yesterday came out, and asked me to go for a reexamination." "
The next day, Liu Xin accompanied her aunt to the hospital. The doctor looked at the examination report and frowned.
"Ms. Liu, your blood sugar is a little high," the doctor said, "have you had any special changes in your diet lately?" "
Liu Yan hesitated, "I've been taking Gui Spleen Pills for the past few months......
After hearing this, the doctor said with a little disapproval: "Although traditional Chinese medicine conditioning has a certain effect, long-term use may affect blood sugar. It is recommended that you reduce your sugar intake, and at the same time consider stopping taking Chinese medicine and taking a more scientific approach to blood sugar control. "
After returning home, Liu Xin told her mother about the doctor's advice. Liu Jing has a different view.
"Western medicine is always like this," Liu Jing said, shaking her head, "and people stop taking medicine at every turn." TCM conditioning takes time, how can there be a reason to stop? "
Liu Xin couldn't help but retort: "Mom, my aunt's blood sugar is already high, and if she continues like this, she may get diabetes!" "
"You know what?" Liu Jing raised her voice, "Your aunt's problem for so many years has not only improved by relying on traditional Chinese medicine?" "
Seeing that the mother and daughter were fighting more and more fiercely, Liu Yan sat on the side, at a loss.
"Enough!" Liu Yan suddenly shouted, "Don't make any noise. This is my body, and I will make up my own mind. "
After careful consideration, Liu Yan decided to temporarily reduce the amount of Gui Spleen Pill and increase the amount of exercise at the same time. She joined a Tai Chi class in the community and stretched out with a group of peers every morning.
Gradually, Liu Xin found that her aunt became more and more cheerful. One day, she was pleasantly surprised to see her aunt and a few friends from the Tai Chi class walking into the house talking and laughing.
"Auntie, you look so good!" Liu Xin said sincerely.
Liu Yan replied with a smile: "Yes, I feel that the whole person is relaxed." This is much more effective than just taking medicine. "
However, the good times were short-lived. A week later, in the middle of the night, Liu Xin was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
"Xinxin," Liu Yan's choked voice came from the other end of the phone, "I have insomnia again, I can't sleep......
Liu Xin hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll come over to accompany you." "
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xin was about to go out, but was stopped by his mother who heard the news.
"It's all you," Liu Jing reproached, "I have to ask your aunt to stop taking the medicine." Well, now the symptoms are all back! "
Liu Xin lowered her head guiltily, not knowing how to respond. She only felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and she didn't know whether her kindness helped her aunt or hurt her.
Early in the morning, Liu Xin sat in front of the computer, her eyes a little sour because she stayed up late. She opened an email she had just received and read the reply of an integrative medicine expert.
"Auntie," Liu Xin picked up her phone and dialed Liu Yan's number, "I found an expert who is very interested in your situation." Shall we go see him this afternoon? "
Liu Yan hesitated, "Xinxin, are you sure?" I don't want to toss anymore......"
"Auntie, believe me, this time is different." Liu Xin's tone was firm.
In the afternoon, in the consultation room, experts in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine carefully inquired about Liu Yan's medical history and medication.
"Ms. Liu," the expert said with a smile, "Gui Spleen Pill does have a conditioning effect, but the dosage and combination are very important. I recommend that you continue to take it, but adjust the dosage appropriately. At the same time, we need to combine it with a proper diet and exercise plan. "
Liu Xin and Liu Yan glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning home, Liu Xin immediately reported the situation to her mother. After listening to this, Liu Jing was silent for a while.
"Mom," Liu Xin said cautiously, "let's help Auntie together." "
Liu Jing nodded, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "You're right, we should indeed consider your aunt's health more comprehensively." "
In the following days, Liu Yan adjusted the way of taking Gui Spleen Pill according to the advice of experts. Liu Xin is in charge of supervising her aunt's diet, while Liu Jing accompanies her sister to the park for a walk every day.
Three months later, one weekend, the family was together again. Liu Yan's face was full of healthy brilliance, and her figure had returned to its best state.
"Sister, Xinxin," Liu Yan held the hands of her sister and niece, "Thank you." Not only is my body better, but my heart is also much more steady. "
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Auntie, how is your sleep quality?" "
"Much better!" Liu Yan replied excitedly, "Now I can basically sleep until dawn." "
Liu Jing also showed a relieved smile, "Sister, it seems that this method is really suitable for you." "
Liu Xin said thoughtfully: "This experience has made me understand that health issues really need to be considered holistically. Both Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own advantages, and the key is to find a balance. "
"And," Liu added, "communication and understanding between family members are equally important." "
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the summer of the following year. At Liu Yan's 54th birthday party, the family was filled with laughter.
Liu Yan stood in front of the cake, the wrinkles on her face stretched, and her eyes were bright. "This past year," she said, her voice choked up a little, as she looked around, "it was the most memorable year of my life. "
"Not only did I regain my health, but more importantly," she said, looking at Liu Jing and Liu Xin, "I felt the love of my family." "
Liu Xin stepped forward and hugged her aunt gently, "Auntie, your strength and optimism have always been our role models. "
Liu Jing also joined in the hug, "Sister, happy birthday." With you, our family is complete. "
In the candlelight, Liu Yan made a wish. She knows that no matter what the future holds, life will be complete with such a family member who understands and supports each other.
After the party, Liu Xin stood on the balcony and looked at the stars in the night sky. She is deeply aware that the experience of this year has not only changed her aunt's health, but also brought the whole family closer together. They have learned to listen to each other, to find common ground in the midst of differences, and to face every challenge in life with love and patience.
Liu Xin said softly: "It turns out that the true meaning of health is not only the absence of physical diseases, but also the harmony and happiness of a family. "
