Mrs. Gong's gift was a traditional Chinese medicine powder. After Dr. Liu completed the acupuncture procedure, Bai Xue handed him the powder for him to study it before administering it.
After meticulous scrutiny, Dr. Liu said the herbs have a potent wakefulness-inducing effect, an attribute rarely seen in medicinal combinations.
"Mrs. Su, where did you get these herbs? It's a daring combination, but ideal for Yafu's ailments. The effects should be promising! I have never seen this mixture in all my years as a physician, or in any medical texts!"
The Liu family had a long tradition of practicing traditional Chinese medicine and Dr. Liu who was renowned in China for his expertise, despite his extensive study of medical literature had never come across such a formula.
"A family member of a friend gave them to me," Bai Xue replied faintly.
"Mrs. Su's friends are indeed resourceful," praised Dr. Liu.
"Can these be used?"
