Chapter 135 - How Considerate It Is of You (1/2)
Mu Feichi tilted his head and glanced at the pillow separating them. Then he grabbed the pillow and threw it onto the pa.s.senger seat.
It was Qi Yuan who was driving, and he glanced at the pillow that Young Marshal Mu had been so disdainful of and chuckled.
“Miss Yun, what is that? Why do I seem to smell medicine?”
The car was small, so it had been quickly filled with the faint smell of medicine. It wasn’t strong, and was rather soothing.
“I heard that old Madame Chen is ill. I’m visiting her and bringing this medicine pillow to her as well.”
He couldn’t help being a little curious. “Does your medicine pillow have any special effects?”
“Chinese medicine believes that certain scents can cure diseases. The famous doctor Hua Tuo from the Three Kingdoms period used fragrance therapy to treat diseases. He used flowers to make small, exquisite sachets, and then filled them with musk, cloves, and sandalwood. Then he hung the sachets in rooms to treat diseases such as tuberculosis, vomiting, and diarrhea. Later, these developed into medicine pillows, which not only lower blood pressure, but also improve eyesight and heart functions.”
“Are they really that amazing? Isn’t it more effective to simply drink Chinese medicine?”
“That’s not necessarily true. According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are three meridians pa.s.sing through the neck and shoulders, including the Governor Vessel, the bladder, and the gallbladder. The large intestine, small intestine, and San Jiao also reach the shoulders and neck. The medicine pillow can slowly stimulate local acupuncture points. It helps specific therapeutic functions, so that the meridian qi and blood can circulate normally. The medicine pillow is characterized by slow effectiveness over a long period of time, so it is very suitable for health treatment for the elderly. This is the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Western medicine acts fast, while Chinese medicine acts slowly and requires patience as well as time.”
“Young Marshal Mu’s cervical spine isn’t well, so is there any medicine pillow that can treat cervical spine pain?”
As soon as Qi Yuan had spoken, Mu Feichi’s eyes swept toward him.
Through the rearview mirror, Qi Yuan felt himself being glared at, so he closed his mouth obediently and smiled awkwardly.
Yun Xi turned to look at the stiff figure sitting next to her, then moved her hand to the back of Mu Feichi’s neck, and pinched the back of his cervical spine with her thumb and index finger.
Mu Feichi’s sullen eyes fell on her serious and delicate face. Her clear and animated eyes stared at him without blinking.
