Weiling Point. Located on the right side of Wailaogong (Outer Labor Palace). It is opposite to the upper Yishanmen (One Gate Door) point. The operator uses both hands, combining the nails and flesh of the two thumbs, applying force simultaneously. If the child's hand skin is tender, a silk or gauze cloth can be placed between the operator's fingers and the child's hand to prevent injury even with heavy pressure. This method treats acute convulsive disease in children (Ji Jing Feng). If convulsions are accompanied by sound, it is treatable; if without sound, it is difficult to cure.
Xiangdao Point. Located on the left side of Wailaogong (Outer Labor Palace). It is opposite to Ershanmen (Two Gate Doors) point. After pinching this point, rub it. It treats phlegm surging, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing in children. Using this method dissipates the phlegm and qi obstruction.
Yishanmen Point. Located in the cleft between the roots of the index finger and middle finger. Ershanmen Point. Located in the cleft between the roots of the ring finger and little finger. The operator uses the fleshy parts of both thumbs to pinch and rub. It treats anhidrosis (absence of sweating) and persistent fever in children.
Da Sanguan (Great Three Passes). This term refers to the area relative to Fengqiming (Wind Qi Life) point and Xiao Sanguan (Small Three Passes) on the index finger. It belongs to Zhenhuo Yuanyuan (True Fire and Original Qi). The point extends from Yuji (Lu-10) towards the elbow side up to Quchi (LI-11) at the bend of the arm, hence referred to as "lateral" pushing. The technique involves using two or three fingers of the operator, applying steady and moderate force, pushing from Yuji (Lu-10) to Quchi (LI-11) to nourish and tonify Original Qi, which is its primary merit; inducing sweating through warming stimulation is a key measure. For males, push from Yuji (Lu-10) to Quchi (LI-11) on the left hand; for females, push from Quchi (LI-11) to Yuji (Lu-10) on the right hand. Both act as major tonifying agents and are equivalent to strongly heating herbs.
Liufu (Six Fu) Point. Located below the inner forearm, opposite to Sanguan above. "Retreating" (Tui) involves pushing outward from the elbow crease to the head of the transverse wrist crease. Its nature is cooling. It specifically treats internal heat of the Zang-Fu organs, constipation, tidal fever over the whole body, mental confusion, and Sanjiao (Triple Burner) fire diseases. This is a crucial technique. For females, push inward from the head of the transverse wrist crease to Quchi (LI-11) to achieve cooling effects, performed on the right hand. Physicians must remember this carefully to avoid misuse. The only difference between males and females lies in this specific direction.
Combining the above two methods: for conditions of extreme cold or extreme heat, one may use them exclusively; however, to tonify Original Qi, they must be used in conjunction, not separately. The difference lies only in the number of repetitions.
Shang Tianxin (Upper Heavenly Heart). Also known as Da Tianxin (Great Heavenly Heart). Located in the center of the forehead (Tian Ting). Rubbing this point is very effective for eye diseases in children. The operator presses and rubs with the thumb. If the eyeballs roll upward, rub downward; if they roll downward, rub upward. If the eyes cannot open, rub laterally to both sides. For facial paralysis characterized by deviation of the mouth and eye, this point must also be rubbed.
