Du Heng saw the cautious expressions of the three doctors and couldn't help but feel helpless.
He couldn't really scold all three of them in front of the patient, could he?
After sighing, he said, "You've examined the patient's symptoms very clearly and also have a clear understanding of the pulse. It's a case of internal injury from overexertion, leading to damage of qi and yin in the three organs—lungs, spleen, and kidneys. This has resulted in a severe case of the three consumptions, where strong fire consumes qi. Her complexion turning from white to black is differentiated as an unconsolidated lower origin with kidney qi rising rebelliously."
Looking at the three doctors, he continued, "Now, tell me how to treat this patient."
After exchanging glances, Li Shuxun was the first to speak, "We should consolidate the lower burner and nourish the kidney qi."
