The *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* (Emergency Prescriptions Kept in the Sleeve) method for treating Huoluan (Cholera-like disease) presenting with abdominal pain first.
Moxibustion is applied fourteen moxa cones above the umbilicus, at the acupoint named Taicang (Grand Granary), which is located four cun below the xiphoid process (Jiannan), requiring re-measurement. (*Qianjin Yaofang: Beiji Fang*, Cui Shi's *Gujin Luyuan* are identical. Tong An notes: In the *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* (Illustrated Manual of Acupoints and Meridians on Bronze Figures), Guanzhong is also named Taicang, located four cun above the umbilicus, and is the Front-Mu point of the Stomach.)
Another method for treating Huoluan presenting with severe diarrhea first.
Moxibustion is applied two cun to the side of the umbilicus, on the left for males and the right for females, fourteen moxa cones; for severe cases, thirty to forty moxa cones. This acupoint is named the Front-Mu point of the Large Intestine. (*Qianjin Yaofang: Beiji Fang*, Cui Shi's *Gujin Luyuan* are identical.)
Another method for treating muscle cramps (Zhuanjin).
Moxibustion is applied below the sole of the foot, at the acupoint named Yongquan (Gushing Spring).
Also, six or seven moxa cones are applied above the tendons gathered at the big toe of the foot; this is spiritually effective.
Also, one moxa cone is applied in the middle of the crease below the big toe of the foot. (*Qianjin Yaofang* and *Qianjin Yifang* are identical.)
Another method for treating muscle cramps accompanied by abdominal pain.
Four people hold the patient's hands and feet. Moxibustion is applied fourteen moxa cones two cun to the left of the umbilicus.
Also, moxibustion is applied to the large tendon in the middle of the thigh, one cun above the genitalia.
Another method for treating suffering from irritability and distress.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones at the first crease of the wrist, at the acupoint named Xin Zhu (Heart Master, i.e., Neiguan), directly opposite the middle finger.
Another method for treating persistent dysentery.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones on each side, one cun medial to the base of the big toe at the junction of white skin, at the acupoint named Dada (Great Great). (*Qianjin Yaofang* is identical. Tong An notes: The *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* records that the Dada acupoint is located in the depression behind the first phalanx of the big toe.)
Another method for treating vomiting accompanied by dysentery.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones on each side at the lateral edge of both breasts, near the junction of black skin and white skin close to the armpit; up to fourteen moxa cones may be applied.
Another method for treating suffering from irritability, urgency, and abdominal fullness.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones three cun below the xiphoid process, at the acupoint named Weiguan (Stomach Tube, i.e., Zhongwan). (*Wenzhong Fang* is identical.)
Another method:
Salt is placed in the umbilicus, and fourteen moxa cones are applied on top of the salt. (*Wenzhong Fang*, *Qianjin Yifang* are identical.)
Another method for treating suffering from urgent pain encircling the umbilicus.
Moxibustion is applied twenty-one moxa cones three cun below the umbilicus, at the acupoint named Guan Yuan Liang (Guan Yuan). (*Wenzhong Fang* is identical.)
Another prescription for treating vomiting first.
Moxibustion is applied fourteen moxa cones one cun below the heart (epigastric region); this also treats persistent dysentery and rebellious Qi ascending, applying fifty moxa cones at the acupoint named Juque (Giant Tomb), which is exactly one cun below the tip of the xiphoid process. (*Qianjin Yifang*, *Wenzhong Fang*, Cui Shi's *Beiji Fang* are identical. Tong An notes: The *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* records that Juque is one cun below Jiwei and is the Front-Mu point of the Heart.)
Another mysterious moxibustion method for Huoluan to revive the dead.
An object is placed horizontally across the patient's mouth, bent, and measured from the Xinqi/Jiwei area downwards. Five moxa cones are applied five units below the end of this measurement. It is then placed horizontally to the left and right, and five moxa cones are applied again. These three locations should all have the central one moxibusted first, then the horizontal measurements to the left and right. Also, moxibustion is applied on the upper spine, using an object to circle the body so it aligns with the Xinqi, and then seven moxa cones are applied one cun above and to the right of the spine. This constitutes three locations on the abdomen and three on the back. (Cui Shi, *Wenzhong Fang* are identical.)
Another method from Hua Tuo for treating Huoluan where the patient appears dead and requires calling the soul from the roof, or when all other treatments have failed without improvement.
Hold the patient in a prone position, extend the arms, and use a rope to measure the distance between the tips of the two elbows. Based on this rope length, apply moxibustion in the hollow space between the large spinal bones on the back, one cun away from the spine on each side, for one hundred moxa cones. There is no case that does not recover. This is known as moxibustion at the Kouzhui Kong (Elbow Vertebra Hollow). I kept it in a pouch. Having tested it on hundreds of people, all recovered and sat up immediately after treatment. Hua Tuo passed this technique to his descendants, who kept it secret and did not transmit it. (*Qianjin Yaofang*, Cui Shi's *Beiji Fang* are identical, both from Volume 1.)
*Qianjin Yaofang* states that for any case of Huoluan, moxibustion may not always bring immediate recovery, but ultimately there is no fear of death. One should not apply moxibustion in reverse order, nor only address pre-existing abdominal pain, nor only treat cases where diarrhea precedes vomiting; rather, one should follow the symptoms and apply moxibustion accordingly.
Another moxibustion method for Huoluan.
Moxibustion is applied to the Gumen acupoint, located two cun to the side of the umbilicus, on the left for males and the right for females, also known as the Front-Mu point of the Large Intestine. Apply fourteen moxa cones; if diarrhea persists, apply the same number as before. (Tong An notes: *Jiayi Zhenjing* records that Tianshu is also named Changqiang and Gumen, located in the depression two cun to either side of the umbilicus.)
Another method for treating uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea, where the pulses of the three Yin and three Yang meridians of both hands are rapid and frequent.
Moxibustion is applied six to seventy moxa cones three cun below the xiphoid bone, and six to seventy moxa cones three cun below the umbilicus.
Another method for treating dry heaving.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones on each side at the Jianshi acupoint, located three cun posterior to the palm between the two tendons. If not cured, apply the same number as before. (*Qianjin Yifang*, *Wenzhong Fang*, *Zhouhou Fang* are identical.)
Another method for treating cold extremities.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones on each side at the Sanyinjiao acupoint, located in the depression three cun directly above the medial malleolus at the margin of the tibia. If not cured, apply the same number as before. (*Zhouhou Fang*, *Gujin Luyuan* are identical.)
Another method for treating persistent muscle cramps.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones at the junction of white skin above the tendons gathered at the heel, resulting in immediate recovery.
Another method for treating Zoubu (difficulty swallowing/vomiting food) and muscle cramps.
Moxibustion is applied twenty-one moxa cones on each side at the white skin margin of the ankle; also, moxibustion is applied at the center of the transverse bone below the lower abdomen, with the number of cones corresponding to the patient's age.
Another method for treating muscle cramps leading to cold limbs.
Moxibustion is applied one moxa cone at the black margin of each breast root.
Another method for treating muscle cramps occurring in the hypochondrium and chest.
Moxibustion is applied seven moxa cones at the white skin margin of the palm; also, moxibustion is applied at Danzhong, Zhongfu, Juguan, Weiguan, ChiZe, and above. These can all treat tendon spasms and convulsions of the head and feet, leading to recovery.
Another method for treating persistent muscle cramps.
For males, pull their genitals towards the left and right sides; for females, pull their breasts towards the left and right sides.
Another prescription for treating muscle cramps nearing death.
Have four people hold the patient's hands and feet. Apply fourteen moxa cones one cun above the umbilicus. Once the movements stop, do not continue holding them.
Another prescription for Huoluan caused by diarrhea/dysentery injury, with extreme irritability nearing death.
Apply twenty moxa cones to each Ci Gong acupoint. Ci Gong is located two and a half cun to either side of the Henggu (transverse bone), which is the horizontal bone below the umbilicus. (Both from Volume 20. Tong An notes: *Jiayi Zhenjing* records that Hengmen is also named Ci Gong, five cun above Dahuang, located in the middle of the artery at both ends of the transverse bone.)
An emergency prescription for Huoluan with abdominal pain, distension, vomiting, dysentery, and persistent irritability, suitable for moxibustion.
Have the patient lie prone, extend both arms along the body. Place a small string exactly at the tips of the elbow bones. Measure from the back, marking the point on the spine directly below the string. Remove the string. Take another string to measure the patient's mouth from corner to corner, cut it, and fold it in half. Use this folded string to measure from the marked point on the back to both sides. Mark these points according to the length. Apply fire to all three locations simultaneously. The symptoms will stabilize upon completion. This is spiritually effective. The moxa cones may be slightly larger.
Another method for Huoluan with persistent muscle cramps gradually entering the abdomen. Muscle cramps can be fatal. The method to revive the dead is superior to moxibustion. Among moxibustion methods, the key acupoints are three.
The first is Chengjin acupoint. Method for locating it at the lower margin of the thigh:
Use a string from below the sole of the foot to the heel, cut it to length. Return this length, and measure longitudinally upward from the heel to the end of the string. The point in the depression at the lower margin of the thigh is the acupoint. Apply twenty-one moxa cones to stabilize.
If it still does not stop, apply moxibustion to Yongquan, located below the sole of the foot, one and a half cun posterior to the middle joint of the big toe, directly on the large tendon. Also apply moxibustion to the center of the junction of black and white skin at the back of the heel. These three key acupoints, if moxibusted with no more than twenty-one to seventy-two cones, will certainly cure the condition. (Both from Volume 1.)
