五脏六腑共包络，手足所属三阴阳，太阴足脾手肺脏，阳明足胃手大肠，少阴足肾
手心脏，太阳足膀手小肠，厥阴足肝手包络，少阳足胆手焦当。
【注】五脏∶心、肝、脾、肺、肾。六腑∶胆、胃、大肠、小肠、膀胱、三焦，共包络
分属手足三阴三阳，为十二经也。如肺手太阴，心手少阴，心包络手厥阴，手之三阴也；
手太阳小肠，手阳明大肠，手少阳三焦，手之三阳也；足太阳膀胱，足阳明胃，足少阳
胆，足之三阳也；足太阴脾，足少阴肾，足厥阴肝，足之三阴也。
Hemorrhoids, anal swelling, diarrhea and dysentery, strangling wind (a condition characterized by severe throat swelling and difficulty breathing), hematemesis (vomiting blood), hematuria (blood in urine), cough with sputum, toothache, sore throat, dysuria (difficult or painful urination), pain in the chest, heart, and abdomen, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), postpartum rigidity of the body with inability to speak, lower back pain, blood disorders, coldness in the umbilical and abdominal regions, retained dead fetus ascending to attack the diaphragm.

Throat closure (throat lock), strangury with dysuria, and chest swelling; bladder Qi pain accompanied by borborygmus (intestinal rumbling); umbilical and abdominal pain caused by food stagnation and wine accumulation; vomiting, diarrhea, stomach reversal (gastric reflux), and mastitis; dry stool, dystocia (difficult labor), syncope due to blood loss, accumulations and masses, intestinal wind with rectal bleeding, discomfort in the epigastrium/chest like plum-pit qi (globus hystericus). For such obstruction syndromes, needling Zhaohai (KI6) is effective.
[Note] Excess fire in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner) causing throat closure and blockage; heat binding in the Lower Jiao (Lower Burner) causing bladder Qi pain, strangury with dysuria, and swelling and pain in the chest; or food and wine stagnation internally damaging the Spleen, leading to jaundice; or umbilical and abdominal pain; or vomiting and diarrhea with gastric reversal throwing up food, mastitis, dry feces, difficult childbirth in women, pain from blood stasis masses, syncope, persistent rectal bleeding due to intestinal wind; or Qi stagnation in the diaphragm causing depression and discomfort, resembling plum-pit qi obstructing the throat, unable to be coughed out or swallowed. Urgently needling Zhaohai (KI6) will cause all these symptoms to dissipate naturally.
