The medical treatise states: For Hong Kong foot (a term for lower limb disorders, resembling modern rheumatoid arthritis or gout) initially presenting with tendon spasm (muscle cramp), moxibustion should be applied to the Chengjin (BL57) and Chengshan (BL57) acupoints.
The *Longmen Fang* prescription for treating leg tendon spasms and tendons drawing inward toward the abdomen:
Decoct the roots and stems of *Gmelina abutilon* (Mugua, 木瓜) root/stem in water and drink it; this is verified as effective.
It also states: For treating foot tendon spasms and drawing inward toward the abdomen: Use the hand to hook the big toe of the affected foot, and apply seven moxa cones on the tendon at the depression in the center of the sole of the foot.
It further states: If the tendons have already drawn inward toward the abdomen, have the patient lie prone on the ground, tie a rope around the dorsum of both feet below the ankles, so that the space between the two feet is elevated and tied to a pillar, keeping it slightly high off the ground,
the patient...
The *Hua Tuo Fang* prescription for treating tendon spasms:
Boil Baiji (Baiji, 白戢 - likely a textual variant for Bai Lian, *Ampelopsis japonica*) powder once, then use it to wash the calf muscles (gastrocnemius); the patient will be able to stand and recover immediately. (*Duanju Fang* agrees with this.)
Su Tang said: All cases of Hong Kong foot present with Yin/Yang and Exterior/Interior distinctions, and treatment should follow the symptoms. One must not rigidly adhere to ancient prescriptions. Treating Yang syndromes with Yin methods, or addressing Interior conditions when the disease is in the Exterior, will all lead to severe deterioration.
Initial onset...
Below,
Little Toe...
Quan, Feng...
Massage. If the condition manifests throughout the upper and lower body without a specific location, it is appropriate to moxibustion the Shanglian (ST34), Xialian (ST35), Tiaokou (ST36), and Zusanli (ST36) acupoints, applying one to two cones to each, to unblock and drain the pathogenic factors.
Regarding medication...
Those with red color...
Zusanli,
Yanglingquan (GB34) two acupoints: Located in the depression below the lateral condyle of the knee. (Recorded by Su Xu).
Juegu (GB39) two acupoints: Located directly above the external malleolus, in the depression where the small bone ends. (Same as above).
Fengshi (GB31) two acupoints: When standing upright with arms hanging down, located between the two tendons where the tip of the middle finger reaches. (Same as above).
Kunlun (BL60) two acupoints: Located in the depression behind the external malleolus, on the calcaneus. (Same as above).
Yangfu (GB38) two acupoints: Located half a cun slightly below Juegu. (Su Xu says: The *Mingtang Jing* does not list Juegu, only Yangfu).
Shanglian (ST34) two acupoints: Located three cun below Zusanli. (Su Xu).
Xialian (ST35) two acupoints: Located one cun below Tiaokou. (Su Xu).
Tiaokou (ST36) two acupoints: Located two cun below Shanglian. (Su Xu).
Da Chong (LR2) two acupoints: Located two cun posterior to the base of the big toe. Some say one and a half cun. (Su Xu).
Dubbi (ST34) two acupoints: Located in the depression at the outer corner of the kneecap. (Su Xu).
Ximu (EX-LE4) two acupoints: Located in the depressions on both sides below the kneecap. (Su).
Zusanli (ST36) two acupoints: Located three cun below the lateral side of the patella, in the depression outside the bone.
Ququan (LR8) two acupoints: Located at the head of the transverse popliteal crease on the medial side of the knee.
Yinlingquan (SP9) two acupoints: Located in the depression below the medial condyle of the tibia when the leg is extended. (Su Xu).
Zhongdu (LR6) two acupoints: Located midway between Yinlingquan and Sanjiao. (Su).
Sanjiao (SP8) two acupoints: Located three cun above the internal malleolus. (Su Xu says: Named Dàyīn).
Fuliu (KI7) two acupoints: Located three cun above the internal malleolus. (Su Xu says: Named Chengming).
Shaoyang (EX-LE7?) two acupoints: Located one cun behind the internal malleolus, within the moving tendon. (Xu).
Sanyin (EX-LE8?) two acupoints: Located eight cun above the internal malleolus, in the depression below the bone. (Xu).
Yinqiao (KI6) two acupoints: Located in the depression forward from below the internal malleolus. (Xu).
Weizhong (BL40) two acupoints: Located in the center of the popliteal crease behind the knee. (Su Xu).
Chengjin (BL57) two acupoints: Located in the fullness of the center of the calf. (Su Xu).
Chengshan (BL57) two acupoints: Located in the depression between the muscle bellies at the lower border of the gastrocnemius. (Su Xu).
Yongquan (KI1) two acupoints: Located in the center of the sole of the foot. (Su Xu).
All the aforementioned acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The most important ones are Zusanli (ST36), Juegu (GB39), Chengjin (BL57), Da Chong (LR2), Kunlun (BL60), and Yongquan (KI1). Patients must undergo moxibustion on these points.
Generally, Hong Kong foot follows a pattern of spring onset, summer exacerbation, autumn mildness, and winter remission. The general rule is that moxibustion is suitable in spring and autumn; movement is permissible in winter when it remits, but in summer, it is generally contraindicated (or activities are restricted). Since in summer...

In the general discussion of Hong Kong foot, it is stated that toxic heat ascends from below, or descends from above. Some claim that moxibustion on the upper part stops the toxicity, which is erroneous. Recently, I have seen the site attacked by toxic vapors, with pain
like needle刺刺ing...
Whatever attacks like a thief trying to escape, upon encountering an acupoint, it exits. It is not limited to the main gate. Wind pathogens attack in the same way. This meridian has been tested, never failing,

The *Ge Shi Fang* states: Regarding moxibustion methods, there are many acupoints, which may be difficult for people to know completely. Here we only list the essential ones. One must start from the top. If
directly moxibustion...
Dazhui (GV14) one acupoint (moxibustion 100 cones), Jianjing (GB21) two acupoints (100 cones each), Danzhong (CV17) one acupoint (moxibustion 50 cones), Juque (CV14) one acupoint (moxibustion 100
cones).
Moxibustion on these five upper acupoints is sufficient to vent the pathogenic qi. Moxibustion on Baihui (GV20), Fengfu (GV16), Weiwuan (CV12?), and the Back-Shu points of the Five Zang organs is also excellent. This depends on the severity and urgency of the disease.
Next: Fengshi (GB31) two acupoints (moxibustion 100 cones), Zusanli (ST36) two acupoints (moxibustion 200 cones), Shanglian (ST34) two acupoints (moxibustion 100 cones), Xialian (ST35) two acupoints (moxibustion 100 cones), Juegu...
All ten lower acupoints mentioned here are extremely important, along with Futu (ST32) and Dubbi (ST34). The number of moxa cones for these points need not be completed all at once; report the total over three days to complete the course.
The *Qianjin Fang* states: If the disease affects one foot, moxibustion one foot; if it affects both feet, moxibustion both feet.
It also states: Upon the initial onset of leg weakness, moxibustion should be performed quickly, and Zhuli Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction) should be taken. After moxibustion, Bafeng San (Eight Winds Powder) can be taken. There are no failures; only rapid treatment works. If
one only performs moxibustion without taking the powder, or takes the powder without moxibustion, such patients will have half recover and half die. Even those who recover may experience recurrence after one or two years.
Upon feeling discomfort, follow this method and perform moxibustion quickly. Those who take the powder achieve ten cures out of ten. Zhuli Tang and Bafeng San are described above.
