Speaking of this cervical spondylosis, it has existed from ancient times to the present day. Today's person looks down at their phone, their neck is not good. In ancient times, people buried their heads in hard study for ten years, in order to gain fame and success, they often suffered from cervical pain.

Therefore, we will specifically talk about the miraculous methods discovered by ancient people to treat cervical spondylosis.
What should we use? Using mulberry branches, which are the tender branches of mulberry trees.
There are too many specific uses of mulberry branches. We choose a convenient method similar to dietary therapy. This is preparing 60 grams of old mulberry branches and one hen. 1000 grams of hen, remove hair and organs, cut into small pieces. Boil soup with water, add salt and mix well.
This is a widely circulated method among the people, which has been proven to be effective. In 2008, the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine published an article that delved into its related mechanisms.
It is worth mentioning that the dosage of mulberry branches is generally marked as 9 to 15 grams in traditional Chinese medicine textbooks. 60 grams of mulberry branches are considered reusable.
Is such a large quantity in line with the law? We can find the answer from a small empirical formula in "The Fact". This small prescription is to use one small liter of mulberry branches, cut them into small pieces, use three large liters of water, fry two liters, and take them all in one day.
This method is specifically designed to treat arm pain. One small liter is equivalent to 60 grams now. So, reusing 60 grams of this mulberry branch has been a practice since ancient times. There are also many precedents in modern clinical practice of reusing the voice.
So speaking of which, why can this mulberry branch paired with an old hen treat cervical spondylosis?
We need to start with the medicine mulberry branch.
Our ancient Chinese people had a kind of thinking, which is the unity of heaven and humanity. Many things in nature correspond to the human body. Because humans themselves are one of the products of nature.
So the ancients looked up and saw the mulberry tree. The mulberry tree grows its tender branches very quickly in spring and becomes thick and robust in summer. Moreover, the mulberry branches are interconnected and intertwined in all directions.
The ancients fixed their eyes and suddenly felt that it was very similar to the meridians of the human body? Taking analogies and combining them with the ascending and growing nature of mulberry branches, ancient people believed that this thing could definitely help us connect the meridians. The limb pain caused by meridian obstruction can be treated with it.
In fact, this mulberry branch was highly valued in ancient Chinese medicine. For example, in some Taoist medical fields, when boiling medicine, it is necessary to use mulberry branches to start a fire.
Why? Because the fire generated by mulberry branches has an ascending effect, the effect of the medicine is good. The ancients said, "All elixirs cannot be taken without mulberry decoction." This is the truth.
It is worth mentioning that this mulberry branch has a strong upward tendency, so it has a more significant effect on upper limb pain.
Next, we should take a look at cervical spondylosis.
Cervical spondylosis is classified into various types in modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has also classified it into several types, specifically wind cold dampness bi, qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi and blood deficiency, and liver yang hyperactivity.
Among them, the three evils of wind, cold, and dampness, as well as qi stagnation and blood stasis, are often mixed together, causing unbearable pain. Such patients either have long-term problems with their cervical spine due to bowing their heads and lying on the table, or they have an external feeling of wind and dampness, and are blown by the wind, especially in summer when they sweat, and then blown by the wind, the disease will come. There are many people like this in real life.
At this point, using mulberry branches is just right. Because mulberry branches can walk on the upper limbs, connect the meridians, have a bitter and flat taste, and are good at dispelling wind, dampness, and promoting joint health. At the same time, they also enter the liver meridian and divide blood, and are good at resolving stasis and regulating blood.
So, for cervical spondylosis, mulberry branches can be used. This mulberry branch has a mild nature, and when doctors use it, they need to combine it with other medications according to different syndrome types. If mulberry branches are used alone, it is more suitable for various types of cervical spondylosis.
So, why should this mulberry branch be paired with a hen? Because hens can nourish qi and blood. When Qi is sufficient, with the ability of mulberry branches to penetrate the cervical spine, it can "open up" our neck and improve pain.
Of course, these methods may not be universally applicable. What we have introduced is only for reference and application under the dialectical guidance of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
But from it, we can feel the ancient Chinese people's observation of nature, understanding of life, and unique understanding of diseases.
It can be said that traditional Chinese medicine is the field that best reflects the wisdom of ancient Chinese people. The infinite charm among them is worth carefully playing with.
