Over thirty years ago, I was still a young man. At that time, we didn’t have smartphones in our hands, and train journeys were much slower than they are now. That day, I boarded a train heading to a distant place to visit an old friend. I can’t remember how long it had been since we last met, but I vividly recall the sunny day when I sat in the carriage, engrossed in an ancient Chinese medicine book.
Just then, an elderly man approached me and stood next to me. Initially, I thought he was just a passing traveler, but his gaze was fixed on the book in my hands. With a smile, he said to me, “Although this book is a bit difficult to understand, the remedies in it are too cold and may not be very effective.” I was taken aback and wondered how this old man knew what I was reading. Nonetheless, I politely nodded and continued with my book.
To my surprise, the old man didn’t leave but instead picked up my book and examined it carefully. Then he said to me, “I see you are also studying medicine. I have no children or close relatives, and I am willing to teach you the method I have developed over a lifetime to treat schizophrenia.” Upon hearing this, I felt both excited and nervous because I knew schizophrenia was a serious illness.
I followed the old man off the train and arrived at his home. His house was filled with various Chinese medicine boxes and jars, along with many medical books. The old man told me that finding someone with fate was not easy, so he wanted to impart all his research findings to me.
In his secret recipe, the silk gourd is the main medicinal ingredient. Although silk gourd is common, its therapeutic effects are unexpectedly good. Many patients have experienced relief in their condition or even full recovery after using this recipe.
Last year, a patient who had been suffering from schizophrenia for 6 years came to my clinic.
He had tried various treatments with no improvement, had lost confidence in life, and just wanted to lie still all day.
I prescribed a recipe with silk gourd as the main ingredient, which works to soothe the liver and promote the circulation of qi and blood. After a period of recuperation, his condition indeed significantly improved.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the five viscera and six fu are interconnected, and emotional changes can reflect the condition of qi and blood circulation in the body.
If the circulation of qi and blood in the body is blocked or stagnant, it can lead to negative emotions. Silk gourd has the effect of clearing water from the three burners and promoting the circulation of meridians, making it very effective in treating schizophrenia of the liver qi stagnation type.
Today, schizophrenia is no longer an incurable disease. I hope by sharing this secret recipe, more people will come to understand the wonders of Chinese medicine. Of course, I must remind everyone that Chinese medicine emphasizes individualized treatments, as each person’s condition and constitution are unique, so medication should be decided based on specific circumstances. If you need help, do not hesitate to consult a professional doctor!
