Chapter 36 Thought Too Much_2

He wasn't worried about his herbs getting wet since his box was quite nice, perfectly sealed, and contained the medicine either wrapped up or stored in bottles. The main issue was that he needed to take out his medicine and consume it.

According to the terminology of that time, he had "asthma," also referred to as "shoulder breath" or "counterflow Qi." When exposed to cold and wind, his lungs were susceptible to attacks, causing mild breathing difficulties or, in severe cases, the risk of asthma attacks.

Actually, his skills were decent; it's just that his medical techniques were not advanced enough to overcome diseases that even modern medicine finds challenging.
