Li Xu stepped forward and carefully observed Uncle Guo's complexion.
His face was rosy, no longer the suffocated, purplish-blue hue he had when he was first admitted. Feeling his pulse again, Li Xu noted it was calm and strong. The previous floating and tense condition had completely faded away.
"Good," Li Xu nodded. "You've recovered very well. However, this illness was caused by damp-heat pathogenic factors, and dampness is the most stubborn and lingering of them all. Besides taking medicine, you need to keep moving. Moderate exercise can stimulate Yang Qi and help expel the dampness through sweat."
Hearing this, Uncle Guo eagerly replied, "I know, Dean Li. I practice the Eight Brocades every day now. Director Lin specifically taught me during his rounds on the first day. At first, my body was weak, and I could only do it once. Now that I feel stronger, I do it twice a day, morning and night. After practicing, my whole body feels warm and extremely comfortable."
