Chapter 243: Chapter 243

Hearing Annalise Barton’s words, Jason Zeller was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly. “Thank you so much, thank you!” “You’re welcome,” Annalise replied. Mina Simmons stood at the side and looked at Annalise take Old Madam Zeller’s pulse in admiration. Her mentor was amazing! She didn’t even need medical equipment to know the old madam’s condition. The old madam looked haggard, so Mina was surprised that she could still recover.

Sure enough, traditional medicine practitioners had the power to create miracles. She had to learn from her mentor. “I’ll give you the acupuncture in a while. I’ll teach you how to remove the needles and the acupuncture techniques. Remember it well,” Annalise said and looked at Mina, who seemed eager to learn. “Okay, mentor.” Mina could not contain her excitement. Her mentor was going to teach her something! She’s awesome!

Annalise said, “Mr. Zeller, I will do the acupuncture later Only, you need to be present. Everyone else needs to leave.” She needed ample lighting to carry out the acupuncture and could not have people do that while they were moving around the room, causing her to lose her concentration. “Okay, okay.”

Jason was very cooperative. With his trust in Annalise’s medical skills, he would agree even if Annalise called him to leave. He was naturally more than happy that Annalise let him watch from inside.

Annalise had asked the Zeller family to prepare the moxibustion machine and other items. She moved the moxibustion machine over and told Mina, “There is a saying passed down from generations of traditional medicine practitioners: if the medicine is not good enough, or the needle cannot cure the illness, then moxibustion is needed. Moxibustion has the effect of expelling cold, removing wetness, warming the meridians, regulating the balance of one’s body, and healing bruises. Moxibustion can be very useful for rheumatism diseases like what Madam Zeller has.” Moxibustion and acupuncture could be done at the same time. “The principle of moxibustion and acupuncture is the same. Acupuncture is more intricate. I’ll tell you in detail later.” “Alright, mentor.” Mina’s eyes lit up. She was elated that she could now learn from her mentor officially. Annalise then said to Jason, “Mr. Zeller, you can tell them to leave now.”

“Okay.” Jason immediately ordered, “Everyone, leave.” Then Jimmy Zeller, his wife Nancy Zeller, and Jasper Zeller left the room. When Nancy went out, she glanced at Old Madam Zeller’s personal servant. The servant returned her a gaze that said she understood. The servant was in her fifties and had taken care of Old Madam Zeller for more than 20 years. Annalise looked at the servant. There was someone else in the room besides Jason.

Jason explained, “This is my mother’s personal servant who has taken care of my mother. Don’t worry.

She won’t affect you. She wants to learn moxibustion techniques so that she can help my mother. I’ll send her out if you think it’s not convenient.” “It doesn’t matter,” Annalise said. She had never had the habit of hiding her medical skills. In the past, when she was overseas, people observed every surgery.

As long as it did not affect her treatment, she was willing to let everyone observe and learn.

She thought the same for traditional medicine too. She wished that everyone could learn traditional medicine and that they could pass on Chanaea’s ancient inheritance. “Okay.” Jason was glad when he heard that the servant could stay. If the servant learned the techniques, they could treat Old Madam Zeller, and she could recover quicker. Most of the people had gone out, including Julian Parks. Beside the old madam lying on the bed, only Annalise, Jason, Mina, and the old madam’s servant were left in the ward.

Annalise began to remove the needles as she explained to Mina, “Moxibustion should actually be done during the day. It’s best if it’s done from 9 to 10 a.m. At that time, more positive energy is generated. It’s best not to do moxibustion at night, but because I need to do acupuncture, it’ll be better to warm the acupoints with moxibustion. “Here, this position of our navel is called the Divine point. It’s an important acupoint. As you know, the fetus absorbs nutrients through the umbilical cord from the mother.

“When we take this acupuncture point as the main acupuncture point and perform moxibustion, the mugwort’s positive energy will spread throughout the body through the acupuncture point…” Annalise taught Mina the techniques and the effects of various acupuncture points on the body while removing acupuncture needles. The five viscera had corresponding meridians, and each meridian had its main and auxiliary acupoints. As long as the acupoints matched well, they could be effective for any illnesses.

She then told MIna how to differentiate the moxibustion sticks by observing their color and smell… She also mentioned other medicinal ingredients. She could not help but sigh. Many factors prevented the legacy of traditional medicine from being passed down. One of them was medicinal ingredients. The effect of the currept medicinal ingredients was different from medicinal ingredients in the past.

Traditional medicine practitioners paid attention to the balance of positive and negative energy. Its way is to nature take its course. Medicinal ingredients produced from the original source and grown in nature had the best medicinal effect. For example, Coptis chinensis and Fritillaria cirrhosa from the Shane Province, Pinellia ternata from the Sun Province, and Panax notoginseng from Nad Province…

These were all the primitive origins of medicinal herbs. These kinds had the best effects.

However, they couldn’t buy it now. The medicinal ingredients in the major pharmacies weren’t from their source. Then where did those medicinal ingredients go? Most of them were bought by other nations.

The other nations bought the finest quality medicinal ingredients and developed traditional medicine as theirs. They would even send their people to steal the prescriptions. And hence, Chanaeans could only adopt modern medicine.”

Annalise could not help but sigh and say, “It’s not that I can’t study modern medicine. I do, in fact.

However, we should absorb the essence of modern medicine based on traditional medicine and not abandon our roots to accept the dross of other medicinal studies.” Mina was a sentimental person.

When she heard her mentor’s words, her eyes teared. Jason felt the same. He did not expect Annalise to have such a deep understanding at such a young age.

He thought Julian really had a good eye for people He hoped Jasper could find an outstanding girl like Annalise in the future! Annalise realized that she was a little emotional. She quickly adjusted herself and focused on the acupuncture. Then she started with the moxibustion. She asked Mina what she thought. Was Mina really prepared to learn traditional medicine? Shohad to start with the most basic medical theory to learn traditional medicine. It would be tough. Mina’s eyes showed her determination.

She said that she would definitely learn well. Annalise nodded. “If you want to learn, then I’ll teach you.”

Traditional medicine needed more fresh blood like Mina. She would be its hope for the future. She believed that one day, traditional medicine would develop to the point where they could save the best for themselves and not let other nations purchase them. “Mentor, don’t worry. I’ll study hard. How long will the needle take? Rest for a while. I’ll watch them for you.” Mina said. Annalise looked at the time and said. “12 more minutes.” “Alright, leave it to me,” Mina said.

“Okay,” Annalise replied. She could use this time to check her phone. She sat down in the chair. The group chat was filled with messages. Cash Capell sent some pictures of clay teapots in the group chat.

Then, he sem laughing emoji and said, [It’s sold. Guess how much Tony Parks spent? I can’t believe he’s so gullible.] Joseph Quigley sent a message. [Don’t leave me in suspense. How much?] Cash replied, Make a guess!]

Dariel Randell joined in as well. [12 million?] Joseph asked, [200 million?] Dariel said, [I realized that you became a different person after you went to Jadeborough. Why’s that so? Do you think our currency has depreciated?] Joseph replied, [Dariel Randall, that’s not the main point! How can he be gullible if he can fork out 12 million dollars?] Madeline sent a message. [That’s a good point, Joseph.

Haha.]

Cash urged them to try again. [You’re all wrong. Guess again.] Joseph made another guess. [30 million?] Cash sent another message. [Nope, that’s wrong. Keep guessing.] Annalise looked at the few mentors in the group chat and could not help but smile. She typed out “2 billion” and was about to send the message when she suddenly heard Mina yell, “What are you doing?
