Director Niu nodded. "I understand what you mean. Write the prescription."
Returning to his office, Du Heng quickly drafted it. "This time, we'll use Polyporus Decoction to nourish yin and promote diuresis. We'll also add white ginseng to replenish qi, along with adenophora and black plum for their sour and sweet yin-transforming properties. One prescription daily, divided into two doses. Let's prescribe... five days' worth."
He handed the completed prescription to Director Niu and then hurried off.
Just as he reached his office door, Du Heng suddenly spun around. He snatched the prescription from Director Niu's hand and quickly added more details with his pen.
"I forgot to write this down earlier. This donkey-hide gelatin shouldn't be boiled with the other ingredients. It should be dissolved separately and mixed in after the rest have been decocted."
Having quickly finished the additions, Du Heng hastened back to the consultation room.
