灸男妇无子 凡贫苦艰嗣之家,无力服药者,宜择壬癸日,或益后续世天喜并临之日,将男妇审看有何病患,
以致不嗣之由,各根据法灸之,无有不效者,谨摅屡验穴法于后。
一丹田穴在脐下三寸,乃是二阴任脉之会。灸之能益精血,除百病,扶阳助阴,令人有子。案(《内经明堂记针灸经》)
云∶此穴补虚羸,强阳道,壮筋骨,除寒热,治男子劳伤,遗精白浊,妇人赤白带下,经血枯闭,崩中漏下等病,以致
无子,灸之甚效。《丹经》云∶宜灸七壮或十四壮,须频频屡灸,多多益善。
一中极穴在脐下四寸,治男子下元寒冷虚损,妇人月事不调,赤白带下,生产断续等病,以致无子,灸之即便有孕。
(《丹经》)云∶宜灸三壮。
一膏肓穴在脊骨四柱下,近五柱两旁各开三寸。治五劳七伤,身形羸瘦,男子失精,女子失血,骨蒸咳逆,怔仲健
忘等症,以致无嗣。灸之,百病俱愈,交接即孕。《丹经》云∶宜灸七七壮。
一三里穴在膝眼下三寸, 骨外廉大筋内,宜举足取之。治五劳七伤,脾胃冷积,食气、水气,蛊毒 癖,浮肿,
膝骨酸痛,眼目昏暗,腰背疼痛,精髓枯竭等病,以致无妊。灸之,血调经顺,即便有子。《丹经》云∶宜灸三壮。(《医
宗金鉴》∶此穴三十外方可灸,不尔反生疾。)
一脐下二寸,名石门穴。不宜针灸,令人不孕,忌之忌之。(《求嗣秘书》)
会合妙诀 凡阴阳会合,必择壬子日。与益后嗣,世天喜诸吉星并临之日者,盖谓趋吉避凶,重其事而不敢忽
也。或谓有双日,有单日,夜半前后分男女之说亦妄。但择旺相日,如春甲乙寅卯。夏丙丁巳午,秋庚辛申酉,冬壬癸
亥子,四季戌己辰戌丑未之日,务必要夜半。子丑寅生气之时,使阳精冲开阴血,则必生男,且能肾明而福寿。又月望
以前受男孕者吉,月望以后受女孕者吉,反此所生子女,必脆弱不寿。至疾风豪雨,雪雾雷电,日月无光,虹霓颤动,
切不可交合,受胎亦有凶无吉。
诗∶坎离交媾结成胎,精血无亏寡欲来。
曰∶生旺四时须选择,阴阳孕育自无灾。
Cold-Yin Syndrome causing infertility for ten years: Take Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus) and Chuan Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium) (each one sheng), grind into fine powder, and form pills the size of a bullet using refined honey. Wrap in silk gauze and insert into the vagina, changing twice daily. Once the uterus opens, conception will occur. (From *Jing Xin*)
Cold-Yin with excessive leukorrhea causing infertility: Grind Chuang Zi (Cnidii Fructus) into powder, add a small amount of Ku Fan (Alumen), and apply to the interior of the vagina. (From *Nu Ke Liang Fang*)
Dou Du Formula: Specifically treats women with red and white leukorrhea, irregular menstruation, and long-term inability to conceive. Use Ling Yang Jiao (Capricornis Cornu) (one liang), Mu Bie Zi (Strychni Semen), Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos) (seven qian), Bai Tan Xiang (Santalum Album Lignum), Ling Ling Xiang (Lingzhi Fragrant Herb), Ma Ti Xiang (Pogostemonis Herba), Xiang Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Ma Dou Ling (Aristolochiae Manshuriensis Fructus), Gan Song (Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood), and She Xiang (Moschus) (nine fen). Total twelve herbs, prepared equally and divided into three portions. Make three layered abdominal binders (Dou Du). Rub Qi Ai (Artemisiae Argyi Folium) until soft like thick cotton, mix with the herbs, place inside the binder, and tie around the abdomen. Unbind every three days, re-tie on the fifth day. Rotate the three binders continuously for one month, then wear it constantly. If already pregnant, discontinue use. (From *Tong Shou*)
Wei Qi Zhong Zi Gao (Umbilical Seed-Planting Paste): Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathulae Radix), Ba Ji Tian (Morinda Officinalis Radix), Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex), Rou Cong Rong (Cistanches Herba), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Tu Si Zi (Cuscutae Semen), Chuang Zi (Cnidii Fructus), Hu Jing Gu (Pantheris Os), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Po Gu Zhi (Corydalis Tuber). Each five qian. Zhen Ma You (Sesame Oil) (one jin four liang). Boil sesame oil over mulberry wood fire until boiling twice, then add Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (four liang). Boil twice more, then add all other herbs. Simmer over alternating mild and strong heat, stirring constantly with locust branches. When herbs are scorched, filter out dregs. Continue simmering until a drop does not spread in water. Add Wo Liu (Sulfur) (three qian). Remove from fire, then add Ru Xiang (Olibanum), Mo Yao (Myrrha), Er Cha (Camelliae Semen), and Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood) (each powdered, three qian). Finally add Zhen She Xiang (Moschus) (two qian). Mix thoroughly, store in porcelain, seal with wax, and bury underground for seven days. Use one piece per application, increase She Xiang dosage to make pills, coat with Xiong Huang (Realgar), fill into the umbilicus, and cover externally with a plaster. Have intercourse half a month later; conception occurs immediately. Prolonged application benefits male offspring. Enhances appetite and strengthens bones and muscles. Also effective for frozen shoulder and female red/white leukorrhea. (From *Chuan Bao Jia*)
Moxibustion for Male and Female Infertility: For poor families unable to afford herbal medicine, select Ren or Gui days, or days when Yi Hou, Xu Shi, and Tian Xi auspicious stars conjoin. Carefully examine the patient for any pathology causing infertility, and apply moxibustion according to specific methods. All cases have been effective. The following verified acupoints are listed:
1. Dan Tian Acupoint: Located 3 cun below the umbilicus, it is the meeting point of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and the two yin meridians. Moxibustion here tonifies essence and blood, eliminates hundred diseases, supports yang and assists yin, enabling procreation. According to *Nei Jing Ming Tang Ji Zhen Jiu Jing*: This point tonifies deficiency and emaciation, strengthens sexual function, fortifies bones and muscles, eliminates cold and heat, treats male exhaustion, spermatorrhea, and turbid urine; female red/white leukorrhea, amenorrhea due to blood deficiency, metrorrhagia, and metrorrhagia with dripping, leading to infertility. Moxibustion is highly effective. *Dan Jing* states: Moxa cones of seven or fourteen should be used. Frequent and repeated moxibustion is recommended; more is better.
2. Zhong Ji Acupoint: Located 4 cun below the umbilicus. Treats male lower jiao coldness and deficiency, female irregular menstruation, red/white leukorrhea, and interrupted labor, leading to infertility. Moxibustion leads to immediate pregnancy. (*Dan Jing* states: Three moxa cones are appropriate.)
3. Gao Huang Acupoint: Located below the fourth thoracic vertebra, three cun lateral to the spine near the fifth vertebra. Treats five exhaustions and seven injuries, emaciation, male seminal emission, female blood loss, bone-steaming cough, palpitations, and amnesia, leading to infertility. Moxibustion cures all diseases, leading to pregnancy upon intercourse. (*Dan Jing* states: Forty-nine moxa cones are appropriate.)
4. San Li Acupoint (Zusanli): Located 3 cun below the knee eye, inside the large tendon on the outer side of the fibula. Lift the foot to locate. Treats five exhaustions and seven injuries, spleen/stomach cold accumulation, food and water qi retention, gu toxicity and masses, edema, knee pain, dim vision, back pain, and depletion of essence and marrow, leading to infertility. Moxibustion harmonizes blood and regulates menstruation, enabling conception. (*Dan Jing* states: Three moxa cones are appropriate.) (*Yi Zong Jin Jian* notes: Moxibustion is suitable only after age thirty; otherwise, it may cause disease.)
5. Shimen Acupoint: Located 2 cun below the umbilicus. Contraindicated for acupuncture and moxibustion as it causes infertility. Strictly avoid. (From *Qiu Si Mi Shu*)
Secrets of Conjunction: Yin and Yang conjunction requires selecting Ren Zi days, or days when Yi Hou, Xu Shi, and Tian Xi auspicious stars conjoin, to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, emphasizing importance. Claims regarding even/odd days or gender determination by time before/after midnight are false. Select prosperous days: Spring Jia/Yi/Yin/Mao, Summer Bing/Ding/Si/Wu, Autumn Geng/Xin/Shen/You, Winter Ren/Gui/Hai/Zi, and Earth months Chen/Xu/Chou/Wei. Crucially, perform intercourse during the vital energy hours of Zi, Chou, and Yin at midnight. Let yang essence open yin blood to ensure male offspring, brightening kidney qi and ensuring longevity and happiness. Conceiving a male before full moon and a female after full moon is auspicious; reversing this results in fragile, short-lived children. Avoid intercourse during violent storms, snow/fog/lightning/thunder, eclipses, or atmospheric disturbances; conception under such conditions brings only misfortune.
Poem: Kan and Li unite to form the fetus, Essence and blood remain undiminished through few desires.
Commentary: Selection must follow the thriving seasons of the four periods, Yin and Yang nurturing naturally avoids disaster.
