Chapter 703: 695. Salt-partitioned moxibustion_1 Chapter 703: 695. Salt-partitioned moxibustion_1 The barrage of misery in the comments section obviously amused Zhang Yanping and gave everyone a new topic to discuss while waiting.

At this moment, when the camera focused on Xin Jun’s upper body, Zhang Yanping leaned in to peek, while several aunties also stared intently at his fair and smooth belly.

Xin Jun: …Even someone with a thick face would find it hard to bear at this moment.

Especially since Doctor Guo was there, seriously attending to his health. If he started squirming, it might not seem quite right…

So, he had to tighten his face and pretend everything was natural and normal.

Meanwhile, the aunties were discussing:

“Ay, Wu Lan, you’re not even considering the young man’s important life matters… With that fair, delicate skin, it would be such a waste if he didn’t find a partner.”

Xin Jun: …I might as well be named Tang Seng, right?

Another auntie said, “You see, young people’s skin is softer, not quite like ours.”

“What’s the same? Our skin is all old and wrinkly. And mind you, I carried for ten months! If he was pregnant, he’d be older than me.”

Everyone laughed and watched as Guo Dong poured the cooled fine green salt into Xin Jun’s navel.

Xin Jun: …???

“Isn’t it supposed to be laid on the skin?”

“Laid what?” Guo Dong chuckled:

“Didn’t I tell you it’s new Ai Rong? You can’t just try several points at once, right? The Shenque Point rejuvenates yang energy, both gentle and fast. With the green salt as a layer, we only need to moxa this one point.”

“But this point is sensitive, don’t mess with it on your own.”

In assurance, she continued, “Relax, you’re young, and apart from being tired, you have no problems. Even without moxibustion, just resting at home for ten days to half a month would do the trick.”

As she spoke, she ignited the roughly twenty-centimeter-long Ai Tiao, which Qiaoqiao had just rolled by hand, with a lighter, “snap”.

She then blew on it, and the red color quickly spread over the entire surface.

After that, she quietly held the Ai Tiao above Xin Jun’s navel.

“I’ll adjust the position here for now, but if you start feeling heat, remember to tell me.”

“There’s no fixed height for moxibustion. It’s best to keep it within a range that people can tolerate…” She was teaching the aunties nearby.

Everyone watched intently and curiously asked:

“If it’s another area, do you also use this green salt fried and spread over it?”

“Yes,” Guo Dong nodded. “It’s not very practical to use it on other parts of the body because the salt grains are loose. If you really want a barrier, you can use ginger or garlic according to your health condition – ginger is the most common, garlic less so.”

“Or, you might use nothing at all as a barrier.”

The barrage was just as lively:

[I know about the ginger, you cut a slice and place it. But how do you use garlic?]

[Maybe crushed garlic?]

[Don’t mislead people. You use a solo garlic, cut a slice from the middle.]

[What’s a solo garlic?]

[Ah, that’s hard to explain… it’s like a garlic with only one clove, look it up!]

[Do you have to hold the moxa stick like this? Can’t you use those moxibustion boxes?]

Zhang Yanping was proving to be more reliable than Qiaoqiao when acting as a streamer. At least he was reading everyone’s questions, and he quickly asked them.

But Guo Dong shook her head: “Moxibustion methods vary from person to person. Using a moxibustion box is also fine, but it might not penetrate as well, although it’s convenient.”

“If you want a method that’s both convenient and effective, you can poke small holes in the ginger or garlic and place it on the appropriate acupoints.”

“And then–”

Guo Dong handed the Ai Tiao to Xin Jun:

“Remember the feeling and height from earlier? Could you hold this for me for a while?”

Then she turned to look at Qiaoqiao, “Could you go to the kitchen and slice a piece of ginger for me?”

Once Qiaoqiao had agreed, she immediately started looking for a toothpick…

It was clear that Guo Dong was about to demonstrate, and Zhang Yanping quickly aimed the camera. It wasn’t long before Qiaoqiao quickly handed over a tender yellow piece of ginger the size of a coin and about the same thickness as one.

Guo Dong took the ginger, piercing it with a toothpick to make a few small holes.

After that, she asked Qiaoqiao to extend her hand, placing the ginger piece on the Hegu acupoint. Then she dug a clump of moxa wool out of another Ai Tiao stick and pressed it with a few fingers in the palm of her hand–

What came out was a cone-shaped clump of moxa wool, akin to a small pyramid.

She then placed the moxa cone on the ginger slice and re-lit it with a lighter.

At that moment, seeing Yanping’s camera aimed at her hand, she looked towards the aunts,

“This is called ginger-separated moxibustion, quite easy to learn, right?”

“Garlic-separated moxibustion works the same way.”

From the looks of it, this was much more convenient than frying green salt!

For the aunties skilled in cooking, this was no challenge at all.

The only problem was, locating the acupoints wasn’t very precise.

However, with so many acupoints on the human body, this wasn’t something that could be explained in a short time.

Guo Dong smiled and said, “No worries, everyone can come to the clinic later, and I will explain clearly which area should be treated with moxibustion.”

[I’ve learned something new.]

[My goodness, it’s so intricate.]

[So, is the moxa box my mom bought of any use?]

[I have the same moxa box. I put a layer of ginger underneath, stuffed the box into a cloth pouch, and then wrapped the pouch around my waist…]

[What exactly is your moxa box treating?]

[Maybe it’s only a tiny bit better than using a hot water bottle?]

At this moment, Xin Jun suddenly said,

“I just felt a warm flow in my body, spreading through my limbs.”

The sensation was distinctly different, and he remembered it instantly.

Guo Dong then laughed in surprise,

“Well, this new moxa seems to be quite effective; it’s very potent.”

She checked the time, “Another ten minutes of moxibustion should be about right. If you all have nothing else to do, you can go ahead and leave. He might feel quite sleepy after this session, and sleep helps rejuvenate. Let’s not disturb him.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Guo Dong, sensing something, turned her head and saw that Xin Jun, who had just mentioned feeling something, had now closed his eyes, breathing smoothly and relaxed.

After the crowd had dispersed, Yanping changed the angle and secured the phone, then sat down and quietly watched Guo Dong’s skilled moxibustion gestures, moving the Ai Tiao up and down, and her calmly composed profile…

At that moment, he suddenly thought: Doctor Guo is actually quite beautiful!

“Watching what?” Guo Dong asked softly.

Zhang Yanping unconsciously glanced at Xin Jun but saw Guo Dong smile and say, “Don’t worry, he’s replenishing his vital energy in deep sleep.”

Zhang Yanping hesitated for a moment, then also whispered,

“You said I have a spleen and stomach imbalance, can moxibustion help me lose weight?”

Guo Dong: …

The question was quite normal, but in this context, it felt somewhat odd to her.
