Facial Tuina techniques: 1. Push Kangong, dividing from the glabella to both sides. 2. Push Zanzhu, moving straight up alternately from the glabella. 3. Rotate Taiyang; rotating towards the ear constitutes draining, while rotating towards the eye constitutes tonifying. 4. Rotate the high bone behind the ear.
After pushing, perform scooping. Use the thumb to scoop together. 1. Tinghui, 2. Fengmen, 3. Taiyang, 4. On the forehead, 5. Use a single finger to scoop Tianxin below. Subsequently, the high bone, earlobe, Renzhong, and Chengjiang need not be pressed too heavily. These are common facial techniques that are difficult to err with. They are indispensable for various fright syndromes, Shanghan, malaria, and dysentery. However, for patients with prolonged illness, emaciation, excessive sweating, or dysentery, pushing without scooping is appropriate. When performing hand Tuina, one must start from San Guan, originating from above the fingertips. Attention should also be paid to the Tiger’s Mouth and Hegu, but one must not neglect tonifying the Spleen and Stomach to cultivate the root of the whole body, nor distinguishing Yin and Yang to regulate the cold-heat of the whole body. This cannot be delayed. When manipulating Bagua, tonify more for cold patterns and drain more for heat patterns. In Dividing Yin and Yang, heavy pressure is suitable for Yang patterns, and light pressure for Yin patterns. Regarding the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, such as pushing the Lung for cough or the Heart for irritability, how can they be applied indiscriminately? It all depends on the practitioner’s ability to adapt based on the disease. When pushing the feet, it is advisable to manipulate Kunlun, surrounding it with four fingers to scoop. If there is urgent heat and wheezing, it is best to push down several times at Chengshan before manipulating other acupoints. The rest depends on the practitioner’s assessment of the syndrome; further details are omitted.
