Discussion states: There are thirty-six types of Huang disease (Yellow Disease). Although the recorded names and numbers are the same, the clinical manifestations vary. These are not comparable to Danhuang (Jaundice). Seeking evidence in classical texts yields no relevant records. However, this disease was unknown to people in the Central Plains; it occurs frequently only in the Southeast regions. Its presentation resembles Rebing (Heat Disease). Folk practitioners can distinguish it. By examining the blood vessels in the patient's mouth, one can identify Huang disease, then apply cauterization and acupuncture treatments, which often lead to recovery. Generally, in the Southeast region, the terrain is damp and the climate is hot. Dampness and Heat steam each other, easily forming Zhangdu (Miasma Toxin). When humans contract this pathogen, they develop this type of Huang disease. If treatment is not timely, the damage is rapid. Cauterization and moxibustion therapies must not be delayed.

First, cauterize the Shangwan (CV13) acupoint, then cauterize the Guanyuan (CV4) acupoint, and perform moxibustion for eighteen moxa cones.
