In cases of Yin syndrome, the patient remains quiet and feels heavy; speech is silent or inaudible; breath is scanty and difficult to gasp; vision is blurred; cold air emanates from the mouth and nose; intake of fluids and food is impossible; urination and defecation are incontinent; and the face feels as if scraped by a knife. Initially apply the Scallion Moxibustion method (applying hot minced scallions externally), followed by administering Sini Tang (Four Reversal Decoction).

Additionally, using small moxa cones, moxa points located 8 fen and 4 fen away from the navel in all four directions (up, down, left, right) for five zhuu sessions each. If the penis retracts internally, hold it firmly. Immediately place a moxa pill made from Qiai (Artemisia argyi) the size of a mung bean on the glans penis (Makou point) and moxa two zhuu sessions.
