fever and numbness of the hands and feet, nocturnal sweating (night sweats); swelling of the heels after trauma and redness of the eyes; spontaneous sweating and a sensation of radiant heat in Shanghan (Cold Damage) syndrome—only needling Waiguan (TE5) is extremely effective.
[Note] [1] Swelling and pain in the bones of the four limbs, bi-syndrome coldness in both knees, motor impairment of the hands and feet, lateral or central headache (head wind), pain in the spine, back, waist, hips, muscles, bones,
head, neck, and supraorbital ridge; fever and numbness of the hands and feet, nocturnal sweating, as well as wandering wind following trauma;
