CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: TREATING ASTHMA 5

Nianyang explained to them, "Water cupping is similar to fire cupping, but it places more emphasis on acupuncture points. First, you boil a glass bottle in a pot of water, then apply it to several acupuncture points on Aunt’s back. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is considered a heat therapy, primarily promoting local blood circulation and improving the airways to alleviate asthma symptoms."

The three members of the Jiang Family didn’t understand Nianyang’s professional terminology and could only grasp that the water cupping method was safer than fire cupping and posed no danger in its operation. They agreed to what Nianyang said, not caring whether her claims would work — they just saw it as a chance for her to practice.

Half an hour later, Nianyang removed the glass bottles from Sun Li’s back, "Aunt, how does it feel to take a few breaths now?"

During the process, Sun Li didn’t feel anything, thinking it was ineffective. But the moment Nianyang removed the glass bottles, the blockage she’d felt in her chest for years suddenly cleared.

"Oh my, Yangyang, this is incredible! I can breathe smoothly all of a sudden; it feels so good!"

Sun Li was thrilled. Ever since she developed asthma, her chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and during attacks, she would tremble all over, feeling like she was suffocating. Even when taking medication, the heavy feeling didn’t truly lift. Yet after just a few water cuppings from Nianyang, she felt better. Truly impressive.

"Really? Mom, you’re no longer in discomfort?" Jiang Tian was shocked. She knew how troublesome Sun Li’s asthma was — countless doctors had been consulted without cure, with daily medication being the only painful option. Now, with Nianyang’s casual application of a few glass cups, such remarkable results were achieved. Nianyang’s medical skills must be truly divine!

Jiang Aiguo laughed heartily, "I never imagined our Yangyang would become a Divine Doctor, truly making us proud!"

Nianyang smiled and said, "Aunt, the water cupping can only provide temporary relief. Continue with the treatment for three days, then take the medicine I’ve specially prepared. Within half a month, you’ll be completely cured!"

What?

The three members of the Jiang Family were dumbfounded!

They thought it was already impressive that Nianyang could relieve Sun Li from the pain of her asthma. Now Nianyang claimed she could completely cure it?

"Yangyang, you’re not joking, right? Your aunt’s asthma was a condition she had from the womb; it’s a stubborn ailment that even big hospitals couldn’t cure. Are you really confident?" Jiang Aiguo sounded somewhat uncertain.

"For other doctors, it might be impossible, but I can definitely cure it. Just wait and see the results," Nianyang said confidently.

"Yangyang, thank you, truly thank you!" Sun Li was almost moved to tears. Only those who suffer from such a condition know the true pain it brings. Now, with the hope of being cured, she was the happiest of all.

Nianyang said, "Aunt, no need for formal thanks — we’re family, after all. No need for such courteous words."

Nianyang returned to the Gu Family and saw the three members eating. They must have learned from Gu Youlan about Nianyang’s achievements, as their faces looked quite unpleasant.

Initially, they thought if Nianyang didn’t pass, she would stay home to work. Now that they’d have to spend another year’s tuition, the Gu Family probably felt like they were scratching an itch they couldn’t reach.

But Nianyang didn’t care about their thoughts. She was not the original owner and wouldn’t be manipulated by this family.

She went straight to her room, checked the medical space, and found that the prescription for treating Aunt’s asthma was missing one cold-natured herb: Hundred-leaf Grass.

Though the medical space had thousands of herbs, it wasn’t perfect, lacking this particular Hundred-leaf Grass. Tuanzi mentioned that such herbs typically grow in the mountains, so Nianyang grabbed her basket and headlamp from the lab and sneaked up the back mountain once the Gu Family was asleep.
