Hello.
Hello. So what brings you here?
I came to see you because I think that I'm sick. I think I have the flu.
The flu. Do you have a fever?
Yes, I feel feverish.
Let me take your pulses. Both of them. Are you coughing at night?
Yes.
Do you perspire at night?
No.
So you don't have any fever. Yes. Your pulse is weak. It's more of a great
fatigue. Let me see your tongue. A lot of humidity, too. Do you like the humidity
or the wind from the north?
No, I don't like humidity.
And the wind?
Hmm.
You don't like it either. And dryness?
Yes, heat.
Do you drink?
Not really.
Well, you have to drink. Women never drink enough.
Okay.
Are you often constipated?
No.
You need herbs which will tone your kidneys.
Okay. Herbs?
Yes, I only give herbs. We must tone the 'ying', the 'yang' and the 'chi' of your kidneys.
Okay, good. Thank you.
