Chapter 3685: : Local herbalist

An unclothed black boy climbed up to the papaya quickly like a monkey and picked a raw and a ripe papaya. Ye Chen asked the turkey to hold it.
When Ye Chen arrived, he took it back to see what was going on with this papaya.
It was almost until lunch time that Ye Chen found several common Chinese medicine factories in China, such as wormwood, papaya, and guttata.
However, for the time being, this wormwood is still better.
Ye Chen was going to go back to have lunch, and check it out in the afternoon.
The best thing is to find a local herbalist or wizard.
"Turkey, you two help me invite a local wizard over, and I will continue to check the local Chinese herbal medicines in the afternoon."
In the morning, I didn't believe that there are also turkeys and elephants with Chinese medicinal materials in the local area. I already knew that there were Chinese medicinal materials in the local area. This made them very happy.
When they returned to the hospital, Dr. He and Dr. Liang saw that Ye Chen came back with a bag of things. When they came to see it, they thought it was something.
"Doctor Ye, what is this?"
Dr. Liang asked.
"See it for yourself."
When I opened it, I found it was fresh wormwood.
The taste of this Chinese medicine is still difficult.
This is truly wild wormwood.
There are many in China, but it is the first time they have seen them in Africa.
"I am sure that there are many Chinese medicines in Africa. They may be called differently, and there are other things that the locals don't understand."
"Doctor Ye, you are really a god. We are all waiting for the medicinal materials to be delivered from China. Unexpectedly, you will get the materials on the spot."
"Rely on others, not on yourself. If these Africans rely on others, they won't be able to rely on them for long. Therefore, I think that if you find Chinese herbal medicines here as much as possible, you can get them locally."
For these, Dr. Liang thinks so.
In this world, how can anyone rely on others to give things to themselves every day.
If it is really lazy, it is really hopeless.
Ye Chen and Dr. He prepared lunch, and after lunch.
Seeing that the turkey and the elephant returned, the two invited a herbalist in the town, who was also a local wizard.
The wizard looked more than 50 years old, and his eyes seemed to have collapsed, but he looked very energetic and his skin was dark. Except for his teeth, the others looked really dark.
However, the other party is wearing a set of local clothes.
Ye Chen couldn't understand the local dialect spoken by the other party.
Turkey said: "Doctor Ye, this wizard said he also wants to see your Chinese medicine skills."
Traditional Chinese medicine has spread in Africa decades ago and has a profound impact. Basically, Africans accept it.
And those wizards felt that a certain aspect of Chinese medicine was similar to some plant medicines used by their wizards.
In that case, it happened to go out to find those Chinese herbal medicines.
After coming out of the hospital, continue to the nearby mountain.
When entering inside, it is different if the wizard is carrying them. The wizard calls him the names of these plants and explains what they are useful for.
A plant that smells so bad.
Ye Chen hadn't seen it in China, and didn't know if there was one in China, maybe, or not.
However, the plant liquid of this medicinal material is very effective in stopping bleeding and reducing swelling.
"Turkey, does the wizard say this medicine works well in stopping bleeding?"
"He said that."
Hemostatic effect.
Ye Chen knows that there are many Chinese medicinal materials that have good hemostatic effects, even including those hemostatic powders he researched on Chinese medicinal materials.
Unexpectedly, this smelly plant stops bleeding so well.
Then there will be no fakes.
Ye Chen also picked a part. He had to experiment. One was the liquid from its leaves, and the other was Ye Chen wanted to dry it and grind it into powder to see if it had that effect.
If it has, it can be used on a large scale.
In Africa, there are many western medicines to stop bleeding, but most people don't really use them. If they encounter bleeding, many people still don't know how to deal with it.
Of course, there is another way, that is, the shredded tobacco can stop bleeding very well.
However, I don’t know if there are such tobacco leaves.
Follow the old wizard and keep watching.
"Doctor Ye, the old wizard said this plant can cure dizziness?"
Treat dizziness?
There are many causes of dizziness, and the treatment prescriptions are definitely different for different conditions.
Now the old wizard says this medicine can cure dizziness.
Then under what circumstances can dizziness be treated?
Like dizziness, motion sickness, heatstroke, fever, etc., dizziness is different.
"Under what circumstances is dizziness useful?"
"The wizard said it all worked."
Are all useful?
How is this possible?
Ye Chen thinks it's impossible, maybe dizziness is effective in some cases.
The other party spoke the nouns in the local dialect, but the two of Turkey couldn't translate them at all. If they couldn't translate them, then I don't know how to name them.
You can only find out from the Internet what kind of plant it belongs to.
Until about five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Chen followed the wizard and really knew more than a dozen plants, all of which were used to treat various diseases.
Including, hemostasis, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, bitten by a poisonous snake, etc.
As for the effect, Ye Chen is still unclear.
This is because these local African wizards have been handed down from generation to generation, and they are passed down by word of mouth, and they are not recorded in words.
Ye Chen felt that it was almost the same. Now that he took two bags of these plants back, he seemed to have to try these effects one by one.
The specifics must be tried out.
After returning to the hospital, Ye Chen thanked the old wizard.
The old wizard expressed his interest in Chinese medicine, and Ye Chen asked him to visit the hospital if he had time.
I can explain to him then.
In fact, Ye Chen regarded this old wizard as the kind of quack doctor in China.
Of course, not all quack doctors are deceiving, like the barefoot doctors in the small town of Ye Chen's hometown, they themselves know a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and they can produce some ointments.
Ye Chen still admired such a barefoot doctor.
Seeing that Ye Chen came back with two more bags, Dr. He asked, "Doctor Ye, what useful medicinal materials are you looking for?"
"I don't know these. The local herbalist said it. As for the effect, I have to try it myself."
"Doctor Ye, do you want to test the medicine yourself? This is too dangerous!"
Like many famous doctors in ancient times, they tried medicine by themselves.
Including the earliest Emperor Yan, and even famous doctors such as Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen, they all tested their medicines and recorded them.
"I can't try it myself, I have to try it on the patient."
