Can’t Immortal Master learn Chinese medicine?

Lin Feng went to Ping'an Hall and Bao'an Hall for consultation once a week. At the beginning, there were not many people coming to see the doctor. There are also other doctors who offer consultations in the town, the most famous one being Zhongjingtang.

The doctor of Zhongjingtang is called Ma Bo, and his medical skills are also very high. He is also famous in this area and even outside the area. Mabo is from the Ma family, and Zhongjingtang is also from the Ma family.

The Bai family and the Xu family used to only sell medicines and elixirs, but now they suddenly appear and also conduct medical consultations. This will definitely affect the Ma family's business.

However, the Ma family did not take it seriously. Due to Puffball's reputation, there was an endless stream of people coming to see him. But very few people went to Lin Feng for medical treatment. It was just that some patients who were not good at Puffball had nowhere to go to see a doctor, so they came to see Lin Feng with the attitude of giving it a try.

On this day, Lin Feng was sitting in the Ping'an Hall for consultation. A middle-aged lady came in with a young man in his twenties. The young man's eyes are a little dull

"Sister, sit here." Lin Feng arranged for the eldest sister to sit at the diagnosis table.

The middle-aged eldest sister pulled the young man to sit on a chair and said to Lin Feng,"Doctor Lin, my child doesn't eat well, is addicted to novels, and doesn't want to work or study. I feel uncomfortable if I don’t read novels for a day. Even if I go to Zhongjingtang for a year, I won’t feel better. Doctor, please take a look."

"oh? What novels does he usually read?", Lin Feng asked curiously

""A wealthy family’s son-in-law, a peerless miracle doctor, and all kinds of slap-in-the-face stories," the eldest sister said.

Lin Feng understood immediately. The plots of the slap-in-the-face stories were all very simple. The protagonists were all pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. Mother-in-law, wife, and enemies bully us in every possible way, which is very similar to us who have been ravaged by life, so we have a sense of empathy for the first time. In real life, we are unable and unable to resist, but we can vent through novels. The most common one is that the protagonist cannot bear it. At that time, under the call of his family and subordinates, he revealed his true identity and pressed the faces of the villains on the floor and rubbed them.

This kind of cheating reversal, whoever sees it is"refreshed". From a physiological point of view It is said that the reason why readers feel"pleased" is no different from smoking, playing games, or even taking drugs. It is to promote the secretion of dopamine in the brain. Reading too much will also lead to addiction. In other words

, everyone has a desire in their heart , many desires cannot be realized in reality, but they are longing for in the heart.

For example, if you want to get rich, you will imagine that you are a rich man and live a happy life of various rich people. If such a cool article appears, this person will have a sense of substitution and like it. Look.

For another example, if you like beauties and wish you had several wives, then harem novels will have a sense of immersion.

These exciting novels capture people’s inner desires and achieve a sense of immersion in their fantasies, and then the brain secretes dopamine to produce excitement.

If it goes on for a long time, it will become addictive.

Behavioral addiction (food addiction, pathological gambling, video game and Internet addiction) and substance addiction both involve the same addiction mechanism, causing them to produce the same changes in the brain's neural structure and chemical substance secretion. :

Desensitization ("numb pleasure response"): The level of dopamine and dopamine receptors decreases, resulting in addicts' reduced response to pleasure. They just can't get excited without reading novels and feel that everything in life is meaningless. In the past, What was interesting is no longer interesting.

Sensitization ("super memory of pleasure"): Reprogrammed neural links that make the addict's reward mechanism more sensitive to cues and thoughts associated with the addictive substance. This Pavlovian memory makes addictive substances more attractive than other things in the eyes of addicts. Novels become more attractive. I feel that the novel is really good. I want to read it.

Hypofrontality (hypofrontality) ("Will erosion"): Changes in the gray and white matter of the prefrontal lobe of the brain reduce the addict's ability to control impulses and predict consequences. The self-control ability is greatly weakened.

Part of the stress processing is abnormal: stress can more easily lead to relapse. That is, it is easier to relapse.

That is, The continuous addiction period will cause such a result: you will feel that everything around you is meaningless, and because the brain nerves have formed sensitive neural pathways in the process of reading novels, once you have the idea of ​​​​wanting some freshness or reading novels, , this neural pathway will be activated, and then you start reading novels and regain the pleasure of dopamine secretion. This process will continue to cycle, which will cause deep addiction.

Addiction to cool novels stimulates brain excitement and will change the brain in the long run. If you have If you are severely addicted, you need to go to the brain department of the hospital.

Once this kind of addiction is difficult to treat, Lin Feng frowned.

The eldest sister looked at Lin Feng's face and asked hurriedly,"Doctor, how are you doing?""

"This disease is more difficult, but it is not impossible.", Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng thought of restoring the sensitivity of the brain's reward circuit, weakening the already very sensitive neural addiction circuit, and strengthening executive control. Let the brain rest from all intense artificial stimulation until it rebounds back to normal response.

It is to use another developable interest that interests you as a substitute for conditioned reflex, thereby getting rid of the brain's dependence on reading novels. Or reading classic literature, historical knowledge, etc.

"In this way, I will prescribe you some medicine first to refresh your mind, and also arrange other interests for your children," Lin Feng said

"Thank you, doctor.", the eldest sister said.

Kan Shuangwen's brain is also active, and it can also hurt Qi, so Lin Feng prescribed medicine to refresh the mind, replenish Qi and nourish the brain." After going back to suffer, take it twice a day for seven days. In addition, control the time you spend reading, limit reading to one hour or half an hour a day, and require quick reading. Let’s see what happens later."

The eldest sister said thank you, took the prescription, and went to the counter to get the medicine.

Next to Lin Feng was the medicine cabinet, and in front of the medicine cabinet was the counter. The person who took the medicine was a clerk from Pingantang named Ging Guo. Ging Guo was also an expert in taking medicine. He first took out seven pieces of paper. Place it flat on the counter, then take the medicine according to the prescription. After weighing it on a small scale, divide it into seven equal parts on the paper with your hands, very evenly.

After all the medicine is prepared, wrap the paper skillfully and tie it with a rope to form A few bags of medicine that could be carried away, Ginkgo handed to the eldest sister.

After taking the medicine, the eldest sister took the young man and left the safe hall.

{ ps: Be careful not to get addicted to reading novels. Use other hobbies and things to cultivate brain sensitivity, such as exercise, study, etc. Divert attention. Another way is to read novels quickly, covering various themes. First read the first few pages, and then quickly go to the next chapter. You can get a rough idea or read the title to know what it means, and then finish the novel quickly. You have read too much. If you find the same subject matter uninteresting, you won't watch it. It's like eating meat and you will vomit if you eat it every day. At this point I started not to watch.

Or read some non-shuangwen, traditional literature.

Or try to write a novel yourself, instead of writing cool articles. Write stories. Study literature and history literature, so that you can learn history.

For example, if you write a time-travel novel about the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you must first understand the history before you can write about the characters.

This novel is not a fun novel, but a learning novel, a story novel. You can learn Chinese medicine through each story.

If you are a reader, you should think more and study more when reading the Chinese medicine part. Learning will not bring you a sense of pleasure, but will make you feel bored. Cultivate new learning interests through this boring learning. To offset the excitement of reading cool articles.

Therefore, reading novels can also be mixed with reading other non-refreshing articles that can make you think and learn. Don’t let your brain always be in a state of excitement
