The best way to treat Wang Baimu's rheumatoid arthritis was with medicine.
But without any medicinal herbs on hand, all he could do was use acupuncture to alleviate the pain.
"Doctor Li, you know acupuncture too?"
Wang Baimu was curious.
"A little."
Li Xu took out his acupuncture kit.
He selected acupoints such as Zusanli, Yangling Spring, and Shenshu.
By stimulating the meridians, he unblocked the flow of qi and blood, easing the joint swelling and pain.
After just a few needles,
the effects were quickly apparent.
Wang Baimu exclaimed in amazement, "Huh, I feel much better. Doctor Li, I never would have thought someone as young as you would know acupuncture."
He knew of acupuncture's miraculous effects.
He had even considered getting it, but there were hardly any doctors in the town hospital who knew how to perform it.
