Jingluo Yong (Meridian Abscess): The location of onset is the same as that of the chest and hypochondrium.
You Yong (Deep Abscess): Occurs seven cun above the umbilicus, shaped like a goose egg. Pain radiates to both diaphragms. During attacks, there is shivering and teeth grinding. Moxibustion should be applied to Zhubin (KI9) for fourteen moxa cones.
Xia Yong (Fright Abscess): Occurs four cun above the umbilicus, also known as Wei Ju (Stomach Gangrene). There is slight swelling without redness; the interior feels hard as stone. It presents with initial chills followed by fever. Pain wanders and radiates to the umbilicus. There is nausea with inability to vomit. In severe cases, coughing with purulent sputum occurs. If the pulse is floating and large and the face is red, it is incurable. Moxibustion should be applied to Quchi (LI11) for seven moxa cones. If the toxin leans to the left, moxibustion is applied to the right side; if it leans to the right, moxibustion is applied to the left side.
Chong Ju (Chong Artery Gangrene): Occurs two cun above the umbilicus. It arises from excessive heart fire flowing into the Kidney Meridian. It is suitable for strong tonification. If there is no improvement after treatment, it is incurable.
Qi Yong (Umbilical Abscess): Occurs at the umbilicus, swelling as large as a melon and protruding like a tumor. It belongs to the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Stomach Meridian. This is caused by accumulated heat in the Heart Meridian flowing into the Large and Small Intestines. However, the umbilicus is Shenque (Shenmen), where acupuncture and moxibustion are strictly prohibited.
Shen Yong (Abscess Abiding Internally): When the pathogen abides internally, only internal medication can attack it. The ideal outcome is healing without suppuration. Huinong San (Hui Nong Powder) is suitable. For severe pain, add Ru Xiang (Boswelliae Resina). It is also advisable to take La Fan Wan (Wax and Alum Pill) in large amounts. If pus discharges from inside the umbilicus and the surrounding area becomes hard, or if bloody fluid discharges, it is incurable. Moxibustion should be applied to Yin Gu (KI10) for seven moxa cones and to Zhubin (KI9) for fourteen moxa cones.
Xiao Fu Ju (Lower Abdominal Gangrene): Occurs below the umbilicus. One point five cun below the umbilicus is Qihai (CV6); two cun below is Dantian (CV4); three cun below is Guanyuan (CV4). Gangrene occurring in these areas is collectively called Xiao Fu Ju. It presents with transverse swelling, pain, and radiation to the back. It is formed by the stagnation and transformation of the Seven Emotions into fire. Moxibustion should be applied to Jimen (SP10) for seven moxa cones.
Fu Pi Yong (Abdominal Skin Abscess): Occurs in the abdomen, hidden between the skin and the fascia. It is caused by the stagnation of fire due to excessive consumption of rich and greasy foods. The pulse at the right Guan position is flooding and rapid, accompanied by severe abdominal pain. For robust patients, Guijin Wan (Gui Jin Pill) should be used to purge.
Fa Du (Belly Eruption): Occurs on the belly, as well as on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Neituo San (Nei Tuo Powder) is suitable, added with Bing Lang (Arecae Semen), Mu Gua (Chaenomelis Fructus), and Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma).
